More time away from the same days of leave.

BridgeDays lines your leave up with public holidays and weekends, so one day off becomes four and a week becomes ten days.

One day of leave. Four days off.

When a public holiday lands on a Thursday, the Friday is a bridge: take it, and the holiday joins the weekend. A year usually hides several of these, and most people miss them.

A planner you'll open again every time a holiday gets close.

• Bridge days, found for you. We scan every public holiday and show where one or two days of leave turn into a four or five day break.
• A whole year at a glance. Tell us how many days you have. Get a month-by-month plan you can tweak on an interactive calendar.
• Your country, your language. Official holidays for 100+ countries, in English, German, French, Spanish, Bulgarian, Czech and Slovak.
• Save, compare, come back. Keep several versions of your year, mark favourites and return when plans change.

Three answers, one plan.

1. Pick your country. We load this year’s public holidays automatically.
2. Say how many days you have. Add the months you prefer, or leave it open.
3. Get your best breaks. See exactly which days to request, then save or export the plan.

Good to know.
