How is this worked out?
Weekends, public holidays and substitute holidays are free; leave is spent only on the weekdays between them, and for each holiday the longest unbroken stretch is kept, using fewer leave days when two are as long. Destinations are the ones whose flight the break is long enough for, low season first.
