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 Naples-Capodichino International Airport (NAP) and out of Bari International Airport-Karol Wojtyla (BRI).\n"},{"question":"What time do I need to arrive (in time for the welcome meeting)? ","answer":"We suggest booking a flight that arrives before 5pm on Day 1, to allow yourself enough time to freshen up and meet your group before your welcome meeting and dinner.\n"},{"question":"What time should my flight depart on the last day? ","answer":"There are no scheduled activities for the final day, so you can depart at your own leisure. 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":"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: 20 EUR\nDrivers: 20 EUR\nLocal tips: your Pack Leader will be able to advise on how much to tip local guides, restaurants, etc.\n\nHowever, all tips are at your discretion depending 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 are rare but 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 which we will always try and communicate to you.\n"},{"question":"Will we visit Pompeii?","answer":"Pompeii is not included within this itinerary. We recommend that you visit Pompeii from Naples, as this is the closest town and the starting point for your adventure. To best make the most of your time, we recommend arriving one day before the adventure starts to include this activity.\n"},{"question":"Will we visit the Blue Grotto in Capri?","answer":"We do not visit the Blue Grotto in Capri on this adventure due to how touristic the spot can be and the unpredictability of the conditions (water height within the grotto). Flashpackers will have 3-4 hours to explore Capri on Day 3, so you can visit the Blue Grotto at your own expense if you\u2019d like.\n"},{"question":"Will the boat in Capri be private?","answer":"Depending on group size and availability, you might sail in two boats rather than one. While the boats won\u2019t be private, you\u2019ll still have plenty of quality time together on Capri to soak up the magic as a group.\n"},{"question":"Will we all be on the same boat for the Capri trip?","answer":"For groups of up to 12, you\u2019ll enjoy Capri together on one boat. For larger groups, we\u2019ll use two boats to make sure everyone has plenty of space and comfort on the water.\n"},{"question":"What are the hotels like in Alberobello?","answer":"Accommodation in Alberobello is more rustic than in other destinations on this trip. The town is famous for its traditional trulli houses, and local hotels reflect this authentic charm. While simpler in style, they offer a unique and atmospheric stay in the heart of this UNESCO-listed region.\n"},{"question":"Are there any weather-dependent activities?","answer":"Yes \u2013 if the weather isn\u2019t on your side on Day 3, you\u2019ll travel to Capri by ferry instead of the traditional boat. While it might not feel quite as glamorous, it\u2019s the safest and most comfortable way to reach the island. Snorkeling opportunities on this day will also depend on the weather, but your Pack Leader will be on hand to help you make the most of your time in Capri and enjoy everything it has to offer.\n"},{"question":"Why does the Day 2 itinerary change in July and August?","answer":"During the peak summer months of July and August, temperatures along the Path of Forster can become uncomfortably hot, making the gentle walk less enjoyable and potentially unsafe. To ensure everyone\u2019s comfort and wellbeing, we adjust the itinerary for these months.\nInstead of the walk, Flashpackers will visit the beautiful Dome (Duomo) of Amalfi, where you can admire its striking architecture and rich history. Afterward, you\u2019ll have free time to explore the charming streets of Amalfi at your own pace\u2014whether that means browsing local shops, enjoying a relaxed lunch, stopping for a gelato, or soaking up the coastal atmosphere.\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 should I pack?","answer":"Southern Italy enjoys a warm and sunny climate and can be very hot in summer (June to September). You\u2019ll need to bring light and breathable clothing with a few warmer layers for the evenings. If you\u2019re traveling outside of summer, keep in mind that temperatures can drop, especially at night, so warmer clothing could be needed. A waterproof jacket is always a good idea because it can rain at any time of the year, and comfortable shoes for the Amalfi Coast hike.\nWhat you pack is personal to you and our list is certainly not exhaustive.
