A holiday on a Tuesday or Thursday is worth far more than one on a Wednesday: a single leave day turns it into a four-day weekend.
Holidays that land on a Saturday or Sunday give you nothing extra — worth knowing before you plan.

Book the bridge days first. They are the cheapest days off you will ever take.
Check whether United Kingdom moves holidays that fall on a weekend to the following Monday — not every country does.
