Flexible pass holders must indicate the date of travel before starting the journey in the corresponding box; it must be written with black or blue permanent pen, in the form (dd/mm), for example, May 7 = 07/05.

The trip is valid from midnight of the chosen day. If you start the journey on a direct night train departing after 7.00 p.m. and arriving after 4.00 a.m., only the date of the day of departure must be shown. The same process applies when travelling by ferry, included in the Pass.

Guaranteed connection

Renfe Viajeros' (Renfe Passengers) commercial offer establishes special conditions for transfers with guaranteed connections, with a single ticket and competitive prices for passengers, as established in the Integrated Ticket between different national routes and departure and arrival stations.
