Measures to promote good use of passes

The Ministry of Transport, Mobility and Urban Agenda has established a series of measures to promote the proper use of discounted Avant (mid-distance high-speed) passes. Please keep in mind that:

  • If, during the period of validity of the pass, a passenger validates the trip for at least three times and then does not travel on the train or cancels the validation after the cancellation period, it will be considered as fraudulent use. In this case, the right to obtain a new discounted pass will be lost for 60 days, starting from the notification of the last infringement. Yes, new passes can be obtained without a discount, in order to be able to continue travelling during that period. Go to the page of each of the Avant season tickets, where you will find a link to purchase the non-discounted season ticket you need.
  • In order not to be considered an improper use, the validation that is not going to be used must be cancelled at least 60 minutes before the train's departure time.
  • It is not allowed to formalise two journeys for the same traveller in the same direction until three times the scheduled travel time has elapsed (this limitation will affect all passes for the same traveller). For example, if the travel time between two stations is one hour, and the ticket for a train departing at 8 am has been validated, it can only be validated again on another train departing after 11 am (one hour x 3). Keep in mind that you must sit in the assigned seat (the one appearing on your ticket). If you are not sitting in your assigned seat, our Inspection staff may take note of improper use of the pass, considering that you may have left your seat empty
  • Passes are named and non-transferable. If the use of a pass by a passenger other than the holder is detected, it will be considered a passenger without a ticket applying the General Conditions for Passengers.

  • If, during the period of validity of the pass, a passenger validates the trip for at least three times and then does not travel on the train or cancels the validation after the cancellation period, it will be considered as fraudulent use.

  • The validation can be cancelled up to 60 minutes before the departure of the train.
  • Only four trips per day (one-way or return) can be validated for the same journey.
