[quote=Anonymous]Well, tickets can be changed for a fee, and that's not really your problem. 
I would plan a fun day for you and your husband or just one of the kids for the Sunday before her trip and the Saturday after, and put her on the schedule for both of those days even if she doesn't usually work weekends. So, she'll work Sun-Tue, and Thu-Sat. Tell her that her 36hrs off for those weeks are during the vacation time, AND it counts as her full weekend for the month.  
We gave our AP a bonus 4-day weekend to go visit a friend (at the time she had been with us maybe 6 weeks, so this was a total goodwill gesture on our part). She then got a ticket for the evening before -- the departure was after her working hours, but to get her to the airport in time required an extra half day and guess who had to rearrange her work schedule to drive her? (We've been getting bizarre guilt trips from our agency about the meaning of "host" which to them is apparently a totally available SAHM, so I acquiesced on this, too). When it came time for her 2-week vacation, she tried to get a ticket A. mid-day on a workday for me and B. for a 17-day trip. I told her I couldn't provide transportation on a workday and that her vacation was 14-days, inclusive of travel days. (she's had other bonus long weekends in the interim, too, so already had over 2 weeks off, without yet using her official vacation).[/quote]
