Public Holidays give a great chance to get away on long weekends or other short trips requiring no (or at least reduced) annual leave. Get a free day off, may as well use it to go somewhere!

Often airlines can put prices up around the public holidays as they know people want to use them to get away somewhere, but good deals can still be found.

Use these to build your own low-leave trips away! I'll also be looking for flights and trips that work around these dates and corresponding departure airports, too.
