Avlo trains, owned by Renfe and being Ave's second brand, will begin to have discounts from January 20. A tribute to Van Gogh's Ear and his exit from the train in the early morning of January 20. All joking aside, the truth is that there are things to know about these deals. Just because, there is small print.
As happens on other occasions, these promotions will apply only for certain trips and usually during the week and not on Saturdays and Sundays, although it will also be possible to find them. Here we review these conditions and how to find tickets from your iPhone without having to go to any station.
How does the travel promotion work on Avlo for 7 dollars?
There is no catch in the price. It will be 7 dollars whatever happens, although for this you will have to be quick and have a good eye. It's not that all tickets will have this price, but rather Renfe will launch tickets at this price for certain trips that yes or yes, they will have Madrid as origin or destination.
- Alicante-Madrid / Madrid-Alicante
- Barcelona-Madrid / Madrid-Barcelona
- Gijón-Madrid / Madrid-Gijón
- Malaga-Madrid / Madrid-Malaga
- Murcia-Madrid / Madrid-Murcia
- Seville-Madrid/Madrid-Seville
- Valencia-Madrid / Madrid-Valencia
- Valladolid-Madrid / Madrid-Valladolid
Of course, these trips include intermediate stops in other towns and villageslike Palencia, Segovia, León, Elche, Orihuela, Albacete, Cuenca, Puertollano, Ciudad Real, Córdoba, Puente Genil, Antequera, Villena, Requena-Utiel, Zaragoza, Calatayud, Guadalajara and many others that are part of these aforementioned trips with origin or destination Madrid.
Another element to take into account is that these 7 euro notes will be intended for Basic coursewhich is the lowest rate of all. This allows you to travel with a carry-on suitcase for free, but you will be charged an additional fee if you want to bring additional luggage. Similarly, if you choose a seat or cancel the ticket, you will also be charged additional fees.
These are not all tickets, and there won't be one for every day
As with other previous Avlo promotions, this does not mean that all tickets from January 20 will be 7 dollars. In fact, there will be few. Renfe does not specify the amount, but based on what has been observed on several occasions, They are expected to run out soon..
These are usually tickets for days of the week and at times when travel is generally not possible. Therefore, it may not be the best option for those who, for certain reasons, need a very specific day and time to travel. However, it is an attractive option for those who simply want to travel regardless of the day and time.
How to get tickets from iPhone
If you hurry, you will always find Avlo tickets for 7 dollars. For this, there is three options: via the official Renfe application, from the Renfe website or the Avlo website. Of course, these last two options are valid from any other device with a browser, just as there is also an application for Android if you don't have an iPhone.
Whichever method you choose, the steps to follow are identical. You must search for a trip to one of the destinations mentioned previously. You just need to make sure that these are trips starting on January 20, the day the promotion starts.
You can choose dates or not, but if you are indifferent it is advisable not to set any and leave manually search the list. You will see that in some cases they will be mixed with AVE trips and that there will even be some on Avlo at standard prices. In between you will find these 7 euro bills.
Once you have selected it, you can make the purchase with a card as usual and you will receive a confirmation email. You can even add the ticket to Apple's “Wallet” app, so you can access the QR code on your iPhone when you go to scan the code at stations.
