You just have to inform scheduling that you want to use vacation bank hours to cover the trip. It will be coded VACB on your line. You are correct about the short pay later. I normally bid reserve during vacation months for the credit advantage and then take a few hours out of my full service bank. By doing it this way I get better value for the hours and the vacation I want.
