Flashpackers join us from all over the world, so everyone books their own flights and meets on day one of their chosen adventure. Here’s everything you need to know:
Are international flights included?
No, we ask that you book your own international flights and join your group on day one. Although international flights aren’t included, any internal flights within your adventure are fully covered by Flash Pack. To make things as simple as possible, we always include clear arrival and departure information which you can easily find within the webpage FAQs for each adventure.
How do arrivals and departure times work?
Times vary with each adventure. You’ll find the recommended arrival and departure times for your chosen adventure and destination in the Adventure FAQs section of each trip page on our website. It’s worth double checking these details before booking your flights so you’re not hanging around for too long.
What happens when I arrive and depart?
Arrival: If you arrive on Day 1 of your adventure or book a pre-night at the same hotel where your adventure begins (and share your flight details at least 30 days before departure), your airport transfer will be included. Upon arrival, you’ll be met by a friendly Flash Pack representative holding a 'Flash Pack' sign.
Departure: Departure transfers are typically not included, as many travellers choose to leave at different times or extend their stay. However, your Pack Leader can assist in arranging a transfer if needed.
When should I book my flight?
Now this is important: remember to wait until your trip is guaranteed to book your flights. If it’s not already upon booking, we’ll let you know when it’s guaranteed via email.
Are airport transfers included?
Yes - if you arrive on Day 1 of your adventure or book yourself a pre-night at the same hotel where your adventure begins (and share your flight details at least 30 days before departure). If you book alternative pre-trip accommodation or arrive by another mode of transport, you’ll need to arrange your own transfer. Transfers are private to Flash Pack and may be grouped with others arriving at similar times, so a short wait at the airport may be required.
Are internal domestic flights in the itinerary included?
Yep, all internal domestic flights that are part of your adventure itinerary are included in the trip cost.
