Brits have been treated to an extra bank holiday this year, with another Monday off to celebrate the King's Coronation this May.
There are already two bank holidays in May; Monday 1, known as Early May bank holiday and Monday 29, the Spring bank holiday. Monday May 8 will also be a day off in honour of the royal event, two days after the King's coronation at Westminster Abbey on Saturday May 6.
People looking to maximise their time off work can use their holiday leave wisely - gaining a total of 10 days off by only booking off four. The experts at Frank Recruitment Group have shared how Brits can more than double their time off this spring.

The hack applies to UK workers entitled to bank holidays as part of their employment contract, who normally work Monday through to Friday. Here is how to make the most of your time off in May.
With the Early May bank holiday on Monday 1, workers can book off Tuesday 2 to Friday 5 May. This results in 10 days off including the weekends from Saturday April 29 until Sunday May 7.
Alternatively, if the dates suit better, you could book off the remainder of the week after the coronation and have nine days instead. This would mean booking Tuesday May 9 until Friday May 12 off, giving Saturday May 6 until Sunday May 14 off.
Or Brits could go all out and book all eight days of annual leave, taking a total of 16 days away from their desk to spend however they please.
