Exactly. If I give you sufficient notice, 2 weeks is probably a good minimum, and no one else is taking off at that time, that's a you problem if you can't cover it. If your team is not structured such that you can honor PTO with sufficient notice, you are not offering PTO. You are lying about benefits.
As an employer (and thus an evil capitalist pigdog etc.) I've always applied the rule of the thumb that "twice the holiday duration as notice" is polite to the employer and your colleagues who will cover for you - so two days notice for a day off, two weeks notice for a week off, a month's notice for two weeks off, etc.
"Polite" does not mean "mandatory" of course - circumstances can dictate that sometimes you have to break the rule of thumb and that's fine.
