You\u2019ll find recommended arrival and departure airports, along with suggested timings, in the FAQs below.\n"},{"question":"Which airport do I need to fly in and out of? Plus airport code","answer":"Fly into Ljubljana International Airport (LJU) in Slovenia and out of Zagreb Airport (ZAG).\n"},{"question":"What time should my flight arrive? (to arrive in time for the welcome meeting)","answer":"We recommend booking a flight that lands in Ljubljana before 2:30pm on Day 1 of your adventure. The welcome meeting and dinner will be from 5pm onwards starting at the hotel. The hotel is about 30 minutes from the airport. \n"},{"question":"What time should my flight depart on the last day?","answer":"There are no activities planned for the last day, so leave any time you wish. Your Pack Leader can help you book your transfers the night before if needed.\n"},{"question":"Are airport transfers included?","answer":"If you arrive on Day 1 of your adventure, or you\u2019ve booked yourself a pre-night at the same hotel the adventure starts from, your airport arrival transfer will be included. Arrival transfers are private to Flash Pack and in groups depending on flight times, so you may have to wait in the airport for a short while.\nHowever, if you\u2019ve booked alternative pre-trip accommodation or are arriving by another mode of transport, you\u2019ll have to arrange your own arrival transfer.\u00a0\nPlease also note: in order to secure your place on the private transfer, you\u2019ll need to provide your flight details to our Customer Experience team no later than 30 days prior to your adventure\u2019s departure date. You\u2019ll get automated email reminders about this, but the team won\u2019t be chasing you. That\u2019s why it\u2019s key to get this information over in good time. If the details are provided later than 30 days pre-departure, you\u2019ll have to arrange your own arrival transfer.\nDeparture transfers are typically not included due to travelers leaving at varying times. That said, your Pack Leader will happily help arrange departure transfers for you if required.\n"},{"question":"Are tips included? ","answer":"Please note that tips are not included in the cost of this adventure. Suggested amounts per person are:\n\nPack Leader: 10-20 EUR per day\nDriver: 5 EUR per day\nLocal tips: your Pack Leader will be able to advise on how much to tip local guides, porters, waiters, etc. Some Pack Leaders will collect a tipping kitty (approximately 28 EUR) at the welcome meeting to take care of local tips.\n\nHowever, all tips are at your discretion depending on what you feel comfortable with.\n"},{"question":"Do I need a visa? ","answer":"Up-to-date visa and entry information can be found using our official partner, Sherpa, who can help you arrange a visa if needed.\nYou can also find essential travel advice \u2013 including security and local laws, as well as passport and visa information \u2013 on the government website of your home country:\n\nUK residents: review the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) Travel Advice before your adventure.\nUS residents: consult the US Department of State Travel Advice for important travel information.\nAustralian residents: check the Smart Traveler website for up-to-date travel advice.\nResidents of other countries: refer to the travel advice provided by your own government or local consulate.\n\nPlease be aware that passport and visa requirements can change before departure, so it\u2019s important to stay updated with the latest information.\n"},{"question":"What vaccinations and medication will I need? ","answer":"While we are not medical professionals and cannot offer personalized medical advice, we want to ensure you have a safe and enjoyable adventure. Here are some tips to help you prepare.\n1. Consult with a healthcare professional\nWe recommend scheduling an appointment with your travel nurse or doctor at least eight weeks before your adventure.

","answer":"The Sava River is usually calm and wide, offering gentle paddling in an inflatable canoe while you soak in the stunning scenery. Some sections feature grade I-II rapids. Helmets and other safety equipment will be provided.\nAfter heavy rainfall, the river can rise and the rapids become more challenging.
