Si tenemos un lunes o martes festivos, se añade al fin de semana y tendríamos tres días de fiesta. Otras veces, puede ocurrir cuando el día festivo es jueves o martes, te pides un día (el laborable que hay entre los otros dos festivos) y harías "puente" (4 días de fiesta). ¿Cómo lo puedo poner en inglés?

Es para las tarifas de un hotel:

Semana Santa, Navidad y puentes: XXXX Euros.

Bank Holiday weekend (UK)

Explanation:
cuando es un puente porque el lunes siguente es una fiesta se llama Bank Holiday weekend en Reino Unido. Pero la gente te entenderá si dices Long Weekend, pero la diferencía (o por lo menos en mi país) es que un Long Weekend no debe ser porque hay una fiesta. tu puedes ir de vacaciones que son un long weekend cuando pides a tu jefe a tener el viernes o lunes de vacaciones. Pero en el Reino Unido los Bank Holidays siempre son los lunes.
