While UK workers are fairly lucky with the legal level of annual leave we receive, that being 28 days minimum including bank holidays, we’re often still keen to maximise those days for the best travel opportunities.

As we enter 2020, many of us are starting to think about where we want to go on holiday and how we can balance Christmas, two weeks away and the Summer holidays with just 28 days.

Here are the easiest ways to create chunks of out-of-office time so that you can travel the world on life-changing vacations.

Easter

Firstly, you can book just four days off to turn the Easter bank holidays into a 10-day spree.

If you book off April 6 to April 9 then with the surrounding April 10 and 13 bank holidays you can jet off to Mallorca, the Greek islands or Italy for a 10-day sun-soaked getaway.

May

Don’t have much leave to spare? Book off May 11 for a four-day holiday.

With the bank holiday on May 8, you’ll be able to spend an extra-long weekend touring some British hot-spots or even taking a quick flight to the South of France which boasts pleasant low-20s temperatures in mid-May.

Again, you can do a similar trick in late-May if you book off May 22.

The May 25 bank holiday will allow you to enjoy four day jaunt to stunning Santorini.

Summer

If you’re all about the summer-sun then take August 28 off to ensure you have a four day weekend (August 28-31) to soak it up.

Why not take the Eurostar over to Marseille or fly to popular Croatia for cheap-but-cheerful options.

Christmas

Finally, if you feel the need for a big stretch of time away from your desk next Christmas then booking December 21 to 24, followed by December 29 to 31 will give you a blissful 12 day stretch to enjoy.
