Does the Baleares residents' discount work when flying from Spain to Tenerife?

[maryhha1]

Hello :)!

I`m a new user of that forum so hope that im posting it right :)
I`m planning to move to Tenerife in January for winter season. I am Ibiza resident as I`m working there over the summer, and I`m eligible to resident discount but when it come to book the Ryanair flight from Valencia to Tenerife at the beginning they ask you if you are resident of baleares/canaries or creuta and if you are they proceed the booking with 50% off but when you go further , where they ask for you NIE nr they ask as well about city of residence and there where I have problem as it gives me only the Tenerife option, I can`t choose the balearic any more :/
so I was wondering how that discount works? Can I not use it if I`m not flying form Ibiza ? Its suppose to work all over Spain and now I`m confused :O
Please help!

I may be wrong but I always assumed that resident discounts were only availabe to Canarian residents because of the distance involved.

I am failry sure that insofar as these discounts are allowed to Residents the discounts ONLY apply to and from the location of that Residence. ie. Canaries to Madrid but not then onward, say to Palma de Mallorca and on return Madrid to Canaries but not from Palma to Madrid.

Last year we booked return flights from TFN to Mohon in Menorca via Madrid and got the discount for the whole journey.

thank you guys! After spending hours on google it looks like the discount apply only to and from the location of that Residence :/ its not 100% tho, anyway I just got the ryanair normal ticket which was at the end only 23€ :) even if 11.50 looks much better ;), thanks again! :D

I believe if you book a through flight with the same airline you will get the discount, we did this a couple of years ago to Alicante via Madrid, obviously may have changed.

Possiblt, but I was always given to understand that it is uniquely a Canarian privelege

[9PLUS]

The resident discount of 50% shall be applied to flights to and from the Canary Islands or Balearic or Ceuta.

As i remember once you are in the mainland unless it's a prearranged interconecting flight to travel from the canary islands, Balearic or Cueta you would have to pay the normal price to go anywhere else.

I believe that is it.

[timmylish]

Exactly, as posted!

A small further question to this thread, does anyone know if as a Canarian resident, the discount applies on a one way flight back from the Spanish mainland to Tenerife?

[bonitatime]

It does apply

[finca18jrl]

Many thanks Bonitatime. The flights with Vueling look to be the most regular and cheapest, but I couldn't find any info. on their site.

Thanks Universal. Just looked on Ryanair site and unfortunately they don't fly Tenerife/Malaga; but I appreciate your reply.

[dagoseed72]

I do not think so. The discount just apply from your island of residence.
