Resident travel discounts for the islands, Ceuta and Melilla

Key rules

• Discount: Residents get 75% off scheduled flights and ferries on covered routes.
• Who qualifies: You must be a Spanish or EU citizen living in the Canary Islands, Balearic Islands, Ceuta or Melilla.
• When it applies: The discount is applied when you book, so you pay the reduced price up front.
• Proof: Have your certificado de empadronamiento or resident certificate ready before you book.

Who gets the discount

You qualify if you are a Spanish or EU citizen and you officially live in the Canary Islands, the Balearic Islands, Ceuta or Melilla. The discount is for residents, so being a visitor or a second-home owner is not enough.

How much you save

You get 75% off scheduled flights and ferries on covered routes. It is taken off the price when you book, so you pay the reduced fare straight away. You do not claim a refund later, because the state pays the airline or shipping company.

Which routes are covered

Covered routes include:

• Between your islands and the peninsula.
• Between Ceuta or Melilla and the peninsula.
• Between islands.

Only scheduled services count. Charter flights are not included. Check your exact route with the airline or ferry company before you pay.

What proof you need

You need proof that you live in one of these places. Use either:

• A certificado de empadronamiento from your town hall, or
• Your resident certificate.

Get the document before you book. Show it, or enter its details, at the time of purchase. The documents and checklist below list exactly what to bring.

How to claim it

1. Get your proof of residence.
2. Start your booking as a resident, choosing the resident fare.
3. Show your proof when asked.
4. Before you pay, check that the total already has the discount taken off.

You may be asked for your ID and proof again when you board, so carry both.

If you are not sure

If a route or fare looks wrong, ask the airline or ferry company before you pay. For the current rate and the list of covered routes, ask the Ministry of Transport.

Documents you need

• Certificado de empadronamiento, the certificate from your town hall showing you are registered as living at your address in the islands, Ceuta or Melilla. You show it when you book, and the resident certificate can be used instead.

• Proof that you are a Spanish or EU citizen resident in the Canary Islands, the Balearic Islands, Ceuta or Melilla, because the discount applies to Spanish and EU resident citizens.

Checklist

• Check that your route is covered: scheduled flights and ferries between the islands and the peninsula, between islands, and on Ceuta and Melilla links.

• Book as a resident and show your proof of residence at the time of purchase, so the discount is applied to the fare.

• Check that the price you pay at booking already has the discount taken off.
