Important Notes

Which airport do I need to fly in and out of? Plus airport code

Fly into Ljubljana International Airport (LJU) in Slovenia and out of Zagreb Airport (ZAG).

What time should my flight arrive (in time for the welcome meeting)?

We recommend booking a flight that lands in Ljubljana before 2:30 pm on Day 1 of your adventure. The welcome meeting and dinner will be from 5 pm onwards starting at the hotel. The hotel is about 30 minutes from the airport.

Are airport transfers included?

If you arrive on Day 1 of your adventure, or you book pre-tour accommodation with us, your airport arrival transfer will be included. If you book alternative pre-tour accommodation or are arriving by another mode of transport you must arrange your own arrival transfer.

Arrival transfers are private to Flash Pack and will be in groups depending on flight times. Sometimes this means waiting in the airport for a short while until other flights have arrived.

We don’t offer a departure transfer as Flashpackers leave at different times of the day and many stay for extra nights. We will offer you support with finding a local taxi.

Are tips included?

Tips are not included in this adventure. During the welcome meeting, the leader of your group will request that each member contributes 30 EUR to a ‘tipping kitty’. This pooled fund is intended for gratuities to be distributed among ‘on the ground’ staff, such as waiters, porters, and other personnel providing services during the trip. It is important to note that this is separate from the tips for your Pack Leader and driver, which you may choose to give at the end of the tour at your discretion.

Do I need a visa?

You do not normally need a visa if you’re visiting as a tourist from the EU, UK, USA, Australia or Canada. Please check with your local consulate/embassy if the country you are travelling from requires a visa.

From 2024, ETIAS travel authorisation will be an entry requirement for visa-exempt nationals travelling to European countries https://travel-europe.europa.eu/etias/what-etias_en.

We recommend that you have at least six months validity remaining on your passport and can show a return ticket.

What are the Covid-19 requirements for visiting Croatia and Slovenia?

Due to the changeable nature of Covid-19 entry requirements, we strongly advise Flashpackers to consult the travel advice issued by your local consular services well in advance of your departure date. Some countries do still require travellers to comply with pre-arrival testing and/or vaccination requirements. Links to the key consular services can be found on our Safety page.

Will the itinerary change?

Please be aware that the itinerary, activities and hotels are subject to change. These changes can happen with little notice due to availability, poor weather, seasonal changes, or other circumstances beyond our control – but we’ll always do our best to ensure it has little impact on your experience. From time to time, we may also make changes to your itinerary to try out new ideas and keep things fresh and exciting.
