Long weekends without taking leave

One day of leave

Vesak Day is Thursday 20 May 2027. Deepavali is Thursday 28 Oct 2027. A day of leave on the Friday turns each of those into Thursday to Sunday. Hari Raya Puasa is Wednesday 10 Mar 2027, so it takes leave on the surrounding days to join a weekend.

When to book

The weekends many people share are when the cheaper seats go first: Chinese New Year, Good Friday, National Day, and the year-end holidays. If your dates are one of these, start watching the route a few months ahead and book a fare you are happy with. How to time the booking and how the month changes by route.

School holidays are a separate calendar

The Ministry of Education publishes school holidays apart from this list. Family routes are busier in school holidays even when the public holiday falls midweek. Check that calendar before you lock a mid-year or year-end trip.
