Q. How do Flexi Beds Packages work?Answer: Flexi Bed transport passes operate as per a Magic Transport Pass which allows you to hop on and off the Magic Bus, but you have the luxury of knowing your accommodation is already paid for. When you purchase your package you choose how many nights accommodation (7, 10, 14, 21, 28 nights) you require. We book your first nights accommodation and you need to book your own pre-paid accommodation as you travel. We recommend you book future nights at the YHA reception as you travel. Please be aware this package includes pre-paid YHA Hostel vouchers. These may only be redeemed at YHA Hostels within the New Zealand network.

Q. If I'm not staying at a Magic hostel will I be picked up?Answer: Magic buses pick-up and drop-off at selected hostels and sometimes other central locations such as iSites. We have a pick up list on our website for you to select your closest pick up point. This can be found on our timetable page just click the link.

stop.

Q. Do I need to book my own accommodation?Answer: You can book your own accommodation on your My Magic online journey planner. It is recommended to pre-book your own accommodation as it is subject to availability. In times of high demand such as Christmas and Easter it is advisable to book as far in advance as possible, at less busy periods then booking 1 or 2 days in advance using MyMagic will be fine.

Q. What are the overnight stops?Answer: The compulsory overnight stops are indicated by the grey dots shown on the maps. These indicate the resting place of the coach (and driver) each night so you must stay at least one night in each of these stops (at least two nights in Queenstown). You can also stay
anywhere else you want on the route.
