How a Weekend Break Works

Monday morning by the kettle. "Good weekend?" "Yeah, I popped over to Prague": out Friday after work, home on Sunday, no days off used.
  • Out on Friday or Saturday, home on Sunday or Monday: one to three nights away.
  • The Weekender searches two months of weekends at once, so you see which weekend is cheapest.
  • You book each flight directly with the airline.
