Around four weeks before your departure, you’ll be able to join a WhatsApp group with your fellow Flashpackers – a great way to break the ice and start getting excited together. Your Pack Leader will usually join a few days before the trip to introduce themselves, share final updates, and help with any last-minute questions.
We don’t send an email when the group is live, so we recommend setting a reminder for 28 days before your departure date. Make sure you’ve got WhatsApp downloaded, then head to the ‘Preparation’ tab in the app where you’ll see a green ‘Join your group on WhatsApp’ banner. Tap this, follow the prompts, and you’re in.
If you don't see the banner, make sure you've got the latest version of the Flash Pack app downloaded – you can double check by following this link.
We’ll wait until a good number of the group has joined before posting a welcome message. Please note that you won’t be able to see any messages sent before you joined, and we’re unable to share them – so don’t leave it too late.
Please note: Flash Pack doesn’t monitor WhatsApp messages, and no essential information will be shared there until 10 days before departure, when your group’s arrival transfer details will be posted. If your booking is confirmed after this point, we'll share any key documents with you directly by email.
