Is It Advisable To Skip Inactive Pills To Postpone Periods?

I am on Zovia 1/35E birth control pills.
I am supposed to start the inactive pills on sunday to get my period next week.
However next week, I am going on vacation.
Is it safe to skip my inactive pills, just this one time, and start a new pack of active pills?
