Resident Discount: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how to claim a 75% discount on travel between the islands or Ceuta/Melilla and the mainland.
This scheme provides a significant price reduction for people traveling between specific territories and the mainland.
Who it's for
This discount is specifically designed for individuals who live in the islands or in the autonomous cities of Ceuta and Melilla. To be eligible, you must be a resident of these specific geographic areas when you book your travel.
What you get
The primary benefit of this scheme is a 75% discount on the cost of your travel. This reduction applies to both flights and ferries when you are making a trip to the mainland. This can provide substantial savings for those who travel frequently between these regions.
What it costs you
There is no direct monetary fee to access this discount. However, you do need to provide specific documentation to prove your status. You will be required to present a certificate of residence to verify that you are a resident of the islands or of Ceuta and Melilla.
The catch to know
The most important thing to remember is the timing of your application. You cannot wait until you arrive at the airport or the port to ask for the discount. You must apply for and receive the discount at the exact time you are making your booking. If you book a ticket at the full price, you generally cannot claim the resident discount later.
How to apply
- Obtain your official certificate of residence to prove your residency status.
- Choose your preferred method of travel, such as a flight or a ferry service.
- When booking your trip, look for the option to apply the resident discount.
- Ensure you have your residency documents ready during the booking process to confirm your eligibility.
