VALUE FOR MONEY
We’re more expensive than the average group travel company because we focus on quality. Our trips are designed to offer bespoke experiences that are immersive and authentic.
As a solo traveller, you get to split the cost of a twin room so you can experience unique, hand-picked accommodation. This could be anything from glamping atop one-of-a-kind converted Land Rovers in Tanzania to staying on a private aurora island on the Arctic Circle, with an endless array of palm-fringed pools, hot tubs and rooftop bars.
Many of our experiences are difficult to replicate solo like hiking a secret ‘back-door’ route into Jordan’s Petra, or camping on your own private island in the Philippines

Once you’ve paid for your adventure, please don’t book your flights until you hear from us via email, we just need to confirm your place with our local team (normally this is within 24 hours).
SHARING A ROOM
Unlike other travel companies, we understand how important it is to have a good roommate that you will get along with and feel a connection with – that’s why 75% of Flashpackers share a room. For this reason, we have a roommate pairing process where we will send you an onboarding form about four weeks before your adventure starts, which includes a questionnaire about your habits and preferences. We then use this to match you up with a compatible roommate of the same gender.
If you do prefer a single room, there is also an option to upgrade and choose your own room which we advise you do to in advance.
YOUR TRIP IS GUARANTEED
We’ve been in contact with you and the other solo travellers (up to 14) to let you know your trip is guaranteed. Now it’s our job to make your adventure as stress-free as possible, so we’ll assign you a dedicated Trip Expert. This will be your go-to person for any queries you may have, and they’ll be able to offer bespoke travel advice too.
Now’s the time to register your important personal information and arrange your flights and insurance. Before purchasing your flights, please carefully consult the latest travel advice provided by your home government or state department for the destination you are travelling to. For certain destinations you may need to wait until closer to the start of your adventure before purchasing your international flights. For all destinations we strongly recommend that you purchase flexible flight tickets as well as travel insurance that includes Covid-19 cancellation cover in the event you need to amend or cancel your flight tickets. If any problems arise, just ring us and we’ll sort it out quickly for you.
BOOKING FLIGHTS
Flights to and from your destination are not included, however, if there are internal flights within your trip, these are included in the cost and organized by Flash Pack. We have Flashpackers join us from all over the world so everyone books their own flights and we all meet on day one of your chosen adventure.
To help with organising, we’ve included arrival and departure information under the ‘Important Notes’ section of each adventure and our Travel Experts are always on hand to help you find the best flight. Additionally, we recommend having a look on Google Flights. It’s a great platform to compare flights and find the cheapest airfares, since they have a price-drop guarantee.
