Plus airport code","answer":"Fly in and out of M\u00e1laga Airport (AGP).\n"},{"question":"What time should my flight arrive (in time for the welcome meeting)?","answer":"There will be two group transfers on Day 1 from M\u00e1laga Airport to Granada. These will leave at 12 pm and 2:30 pm, so please ensure your flight arrives in plenty of time.\n"},{"question":"What time should my flight depart on the last day? ","answer":"There are no planned activities on Day 8, so you can depart at your own leisure after breakfast.\n"},{"question":"Are airport transfers included? ","answer":"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.\nArrival 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.\nWe don\u2019t offer a departure transfer as Flashpackers leave at different times of the day and many stay for extra nights. However, your Pack Leader will offer you support with finding a local taxi.\n"},{"question":"Do I need a visa? ","answer":"You do not normally need a visa if you\u2019re visiting as a tourist from the UK, USA, Australia or Canada. Please check with your local consulate\/embassy if the country you are travelling from requires a visa.\nFrom 2024, ETIAS travel authorization will be an entry requirement for visa-exempt nationals travelling to European countries https:\/\/travel-europe.europa.eu\/etias\/what-etias_en.\nWe recommend that you have at least six months validity remaining on your passport and can show a return ticket.\n"},{"question":"What sort of luggage should I bring? ","answer":"It\u2019s worth noting that Granada and Seville are cities with ancient origins and feature narrow streets, which may restrict the minibus from accessing certain areas. As a result, you may need to walk a short distance with your luggage \u2013 typically less than 10 minutes \u2013 to reach your hotel.\n"},{"question":"Are tips included? ","answer":"Tips are not included in this adventure. Your Pack Leader can advise on suitable amounts to tip local activity guides or services where appropriate, and we will provide a suggested tipping budget closer to your departure date. Please note that all tipping is optional and will depend on what you feel comfortable with.\n"},{"question":"Will this itinerary change? ","answer":"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 \u2013 but we\u2019ll 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.\n"},{"question":"What are the Covid-19 requirements for visiting Spain?","answer":"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 travelers to comply with pre-arrival testing and\/or vaccination requirements. Links to the key consular services can be found on our Safety page.\n"}],"hotels":[{"name":"Hotel Reina Cristina","short_description":"","description":"Occupying an ornate former residence where poet Federico Garc\u00eda Lorca spent his final days, this old-world hotel is just a stone\u2019s throw from Granada\u2019s grand cathedral.
