Brits alerted to 2025 travel hack offering 53 days off with just 23 days of annual leave
Unfortunately, this method is not feasible for everyone. If your job requires you to work weekends, holidays, or non-standard hours, such as hospitality or customer service, it is difficult to use this method as much as possible.
It's no secret that people are very busy and usually don't have sufficient time to rest. Whether you dream of relaxing at home, going on an adventure, or having fun, there's never enough time to relax between work days.
Enter a travel hack that claims to increase your annual vacation to 53 days in 2025 by using just 23 days of your vacation. Naturally, this type of hack attracts a lot of attention. But a word of warning - it may not work for everyone.
The annual leave hack explained
To start, you can get a 10-day break by using only four days of leave around Easter. Easter 2025 falls on Sunday, 20 April, with Good Friday on the 18th and Easter Monday on the 21st. By booking off either 14-17 April or 22-25 April, and combining them with the weekends, you¡¯ll get a substantial break from work.
The next opportunity comes in May with Bank Holidays on the 5th and 26th. By booking off 6-9 May, you can enjoy a nine-day stretch from 3 May to 11 May.
Similarly, taking leave from 26-29 August will give you a break from 23 August to 1 September, just before the chill of winter sets in.
As Christmas approaches, you¡¯ll want time off to relax and prepare. With Christmas Day on Thursday, 25 December, booking 22-24 December off will give you a continuous break from 20-28 December. If that¡¯s not enough, consider adding 29-31 December to your leave, extending your holiday into the New Year.
