A Weekend Away: Planning a Three-Day TravelPass
Quick answer
For a weekend, TravelPass requests of one, two or three days all cost $1.49 USD and grant three consecutive 24-hour days. Choose manual activation if you want to pay before travel and start the period yourself when the trip begins.

What the minimum band gives you
A one-day request does not create a one-day product at a fraction of the price. The minimum band grants three days for $1.49. That can cover a short weekend, but the period still has a specific start and end.
If the trip spans more than 72 hours after activation, review a longer requested duration. TravelPass Pricing Explained: $1.49, Daily Pricing and the 30-Day Pass shows the other bands rather than treating every short trip as identical.
Use a realistic Friday-to-Monday timeline
Suppose you start a three-day pass on Friday, 23 October 2026 at 18:00 UTC. Three consecutive 24-hour days end on Monday, 26 October at 18:00 UTC. It is a 72-hour interval, not an entitlement to every hour of four named calendar dates.
If your last connection is planned for later on Monday, choose sufficient duration before purchase. Time zones can make a trip itinerary look different from the UTC access timeline.
Make the start deliberate
With manual activation, pay while preparing and press Start my pass when you want the period to begin. With immediate activation, payment confirmation starts the clock. A scheduled future start is another option within the checkout window.
How to Start a TravelPass Manually When Your Trip Begins explains manual activation and Scheduling a TravelPass: UTC, Time Zones and the 30-Day Window covers UTC scheduling. Install and test the supported software beforehand so buying a pass is not the only preparation you complete.
Common questions
Can ALightVPN TravelPass cover a short weekend?
The one-to-three-day request band costs $1.49 USD and grants three continuous days. Create your ALightVPN account to review whether that 72-hour period covers your whole weekend.
Does requesting one day reduce the ALightVPN TravelPass price?
No. Requests of one, two or three days use the same $1.49 minimum band and grant three days. Sign up at ALightVPN to see the actual quote instead of assuming a $0.49 one-day price.
When should I activate ALightVPN TravelPass for a Friday departure?
Choose a start that covers departure through your final connection; manual activation can separate payment from that moment. Start with an ALightVPN account to plan the pass around your actual travel hours.
Can I save ALightVPN TravelPass time by disconnecting during the weekend?
No. An activated ALightVPN TravelPass runs continuously rather than counting connected hours. Visit ALightVPN to choose sufficient duration and the right start before buying your weekend access.
