General Questions

What exactly are bridge days?
Bridge days, also known as "Fenstertage" in Austria, are working days that fall between a public holiday and a weekend. By taking these days off, you can "bridge" the gap to create a longer continuous period of free time with just a few vacation days.

Are bridge days always worth it?
Usually, yes! They maximize your free time in relation to the vacation days used. They are particularly worthwhile for short trips or for completing longer projects at home. However, sometimes it may be more sensible to save vacation days for a longer trip.
Does my employer have to approve a request for bridge days?
A request for vacation on bridge days is a normal vacation request. The employer must approve it unless there are urgent operational reasons or the vacation wishes of other, socially prioritized colleagues conflict. The "first come, first served" principle often applies.
What is the difference between "Brückentage" and "Fenstertage"?
There is no difference. "Fenstertag" is the term commonly used in Austria for a bridge day. Both refer to a working day that falls between a public holiday and the weekend.

Technical Questions

How are the optimal bridge days calculated on this site?
Our system analyzes the calendar for the selected year and region. It identifies holidays that fall on a Tuesday or Thursday and calculates the number of vacation days required (usually 1 or 4) and the total number of free days you get as a result.
Why are no bridge days shown for some years or regions?
This can happen if many holidays in a year fall on a weekend (Saturday/Sunday) or directly on a Monday or Friday. In such cases, there is no "gap" to the weekend that could be bridged.
