Annual Leave Planning Tips Book annual leave around bank holidays to maximise your days off. A well-placed 3-day leave request around a bank holiday weekend can give you 5+ consecutive days off. Check your roster pattern — some airlines automatically give bank holidays off, others don't. School holiday periods are the most popular for leave requests, so bid early.
