Plan a year of long weekends
Long weekends are the easiest way to travel more without burning through your annual leave. With the “Maximize number of trips” strategy, the planner favours the cheapest opportunities first so you can spread your PTO across the whole year.
Prefer fewer, longer escapes? Switch to “Prefer 4+ day breaks” and the planner will concentrate your days into bigger blocks.
Frequently asked questions
- What makes a long weekend?
- A long weekend is any continuous break of three or more days. It can come from a holiday landing on a Friday or Monday, or from taking a PTO day to bridge a midweek holiday to the weekend.
- How do I plan long weekends for the whole year?
- Set your country, year and how much PTO you want to spend. The planner lists every long weekend opportunity in order, so you can pick the ones that suit your schedule.
- Can I plan long weekends with no PTO?
- Yes. Set your PTO to zero and the planner shows only the free long weekends — holidays that already fall next to a weekend with no leave required.
- Is the long weekend planner free and private?
- Completely. It is free to use, requires no account, and all planning stays in your browser.
