a normal Flash Pack adventure? ","answer":"Normally, when you travel with Flash Pack you\u2019ll be part of a group of up to 16 solo travellers, either all in their 30s and 40s or aged 45-59.\nWhen you join our Antarctica adventure, you\u2019ll still be part of an exclusive Flash Pack group \u2013 who you\u2019ll meet in Buenos Aires and spend your entire adventure with, bonding over group meals and immersive activities. However, on board the cruise there will be up to 114 passengers in total, of all different ages, travelling to Antarctica.\nVery occasionally, if numbers are uneven, a Flashpacker may be roomed with someone from outside the group during the expedition part of the itinerary.\nSingle rooms are available on request for this adventure. Please contact our Travel Expert team for further information.\n"},{"question":"Are flights included?","answer":"Flights to and from your destination aren\u2019t included in the trip price \u2014 you\u2019ll need to book these independently. Any flights needed during the tour itself are included and taken care of by us. You\u2019ll find recommended arrival and departure airports, along with suggested arrival and departure times, in the FAQs below.\n"},{"question":" Which airport do I need to fly in and out of? Plus airport code","answer":"Fly into and out of either Ezeiza International Airport (EZE) or Aeroparque Internacional Jorge Newbery (AEP) in Buenos Aires.\n"},{"question":"What time should my flight arrive (in time for the welcome meeting)?","answer":"Before 3pm ideally. The welcome meeting and dinner will be from 5pm onwards, starting at the hotel.\n"},{"question":"What time should my flight depart on the last day?","answer":"There are no planned activities for Day 15, so you can leave any time that suits you. Your Pack leader can help you book 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":" 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.

You may also want to purchase souvenirs from the on-board shop.\nGet in touch with our Travel Expert team to find out prices and to add these extras to your booking. We strongly advise booking early to secure your place. See next FAQ for more info about these activities.\n"},{"question":"How do the 'extra' sea kayaking and wild camping extras work and are they at an additional cost?","answer":"Both activities are optional add-ons with limited availability and at an additional cost, so we recommend booking early if you\u2019d like to take part.\nIf you choose the Sea Kayak Club, this will become your main activity throughout the expedition. You\u2019ll have the chance to kayak on most days when conditions allow, exploring Antarctica\u2019s icy waters in a small group and experiencing the White Continent from a unique perspective. It\u2019s important to know that kayaking replaces the standard Zodiac excursions during these times, although there may still be opportunities to join a few Zodiac outings when logistics allow. This multi-day kayaking experience offers an immersive way to get up close with glaciers, icebergs and, when lucky, wildlife along the way.\nThe wild camping experience is a one-night adventure, giving you the rare opportunity to camp out on the Antarctic snow and ice. It\u2019s a chance to fully immerse yourself in the dramatic polar wilderness, watching the light change over the landscape, listening to the mysterious sounds of the ice, and enjoying the quiet of this remarkable setting. It\u2019s a once-in-a-lifetime experience that many say brings a whole new appreciation for the comfort of your cabin back on board.\nBoth activities are at an additional cost and spaces are limited, so it\u2019s best to request them when confirming your place. Please also bear in mind that all activities in Antarctica are subject to weather and safety conditions, and the final decision on operations will rest with the expedition leader.\n"},{"question":"Are tips included? ","answer":"Tips aren\u2019t included in the cost of this adventure and are entirely at your discretion.\nIf you\u2019d like to tip your Pack Leader, we recommend 20 USD per person per day.\nTips for cruise staff are collected anonymously at the end of the cruise and shared out equally. Again, 24 USD per day would be an appropriate amount.\n"},{"question":"Will I be roomed with another Flashpacker?","answer":"Very occasionally, if numbers are uneven, a Flashpacker may be roomed with someone from outside the group during the expedition part of the itinerary. To avoid this entirely, single-use cabins may be available on request.\nFor more information, please get in touch with our Travel Expert team.\n"},{"question":"What fitness levels do I need for this trip?","answer":"There is no required level of fitness to take part in this adventure, however you should be in good health as you will be a long way from full-scale medical facilities.\nOnce you reach Antarctica, there will be activities available, such as hiking and sea kayaking, but you can choose your level of exertion. For example, you can opt for an active hill hike or a more gentle walk along the beach.\nTo take part in the sea kayaking activity, you will need previous experience of paddling on open water and an appropriate level of fitness. This is due to the cold weather and changeable conditions, meaning you might have to paddle hard if the wind picks up.\nWe recommend having a read-through of the itinerary above, and getting in touch if you have specific questions on fitness.\n"},{"question":"Will I have the same Pack Leader for the whole trip?","answer":"During this adventure, you will have a dedicated Pack Leader in Buenos Aires, who will meet you upon arrival and guide you until you fly to Ushuaia.\nDuring the cruise (Days 4-14), you will have access to a team of naturalists and expedition experts, who will organize activities and provide insights during your time on board.\nWhen you return to Ushuaia on Day 13, you\u2019ll have dinner on the ship with the expedition team.

Travel to Antarctica is highly unpredictable and we keep our itinerary flexible to make the best of the seasonal and daily weather conditions. If one bay is be inaccessible due to thick sea ice, there will be an equally beautiful one around the next headland. Likewise, while encounters with wildlife are highly likely, nature comes with no guarantees.\nYour safety and comfort is paramount and your ship captain and expedition leaders will always make the best decisions for each voyage using the latest weather forecasting systems. This could mean delays in setting off across the Drake Passage and could affect landings and other activities that take place during the cruise.
