For those who love a good holiday hack, Charlie, a travel enthusiast with a 9-5 job, has revealed a brilliant strategy to significantly extend annual leave in 2025.

In a TikTok video that's gone viral, he explains how you can convert 29 days of holiday entitlement into 64 days off work. He meticulously details the specific dates to book off for the most extended break, stating: "This is how you're going to maximise your annual leave in 2025 - 29 days of annual leave can turn into 64 days off. ” His clever use of the calendar has already seen him visit six countries this year alone.

In his breakdown shared by Birmingham Live, Charlie highlights how taking just Thursday, January 2 and Friday, January 3 as leave can result in a five-day break when combined with the weekend and New Year’s Day bank holiday.

He also points to the Easter period as an optimal time, recommending eight days off on April 14, 15, 16, 17, 22, 23, 24, and 25 to enjoy an uninterrupted 16 days of rest thanks to the alignment with weekends and bank holidays.
