Whether you’re dreaming of relaxing in a sun-soaked resort, finally planning the bucket list trip you’ve always wanted, or are looking to take advantage of the fantastic luxury travel sales on right now, there’s no better time than the present to plan ahead and set your 2022 up for maximum adventures.
The secret to doing that is to using your annual leave like a pro traveller. Even though you may have the same number of days of holiday as your colleagues, you can spend even more days on luxury travel and indulgent staycations. How? By tactically booking those days now around the Bank Holidays you’ll also get to enjoy maximum time off throughout the year. Plus, this year Brits will also get a bonus national holiday to celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, which will fall on 3 June 2022.
With that in mind, here’s exactly how to organise your annual leave for maximum time off in 2022. Book it off now, and your future self will thank you (perhaps from a yacht or an overwater bungalow, or a safari lodge…)
