Contexto cultural
The 'Majówka' (early May) is often the first time in the year Poles say they 'have a vacation in their plans'. It's a national obsession to bridge the holidays on May 1st and 3rd. In Polish corporations, 'mieć w planach urlop' is often used in shared Outlook calendars. It's common to see 'PLANOWANY URLOP' as a subject line in emails. On Instagram, Poles use the hashtag #planyurlopowe to show off tickets or packing, reinforcing the 'planning' phase as part of the fun. The term 'wczasy pod gruszą' refers to a specific type of employer-funded vacation where you stay home or go to the countryside. Even this is described as 'having a vacation in plans'.

Always remember the 'w'. Saying 'Mam planach urlop' sounds like a broken telegram.
Negation Trap
Don't forget to change 'urlop' to 'urlopu' when you say 'Nie mam...'.
