The operator Iryo, owned by Trenitalia, Globalvia and OFL (shareholders of Air Nostrum), applies from today a new fare scheme that seeks to simplify the one in force since its launch.
The new offer is still based on the two classes offered by the train. However, the scheme switches from 6 fares (2 in “Comfort”-2nd class and 4 in “Gran Confort XL”-1st class) to 4 fares, half of them for each type of seat.
However, all of them lose the flexibility that the operator is known for. In Inicial, the most basic, ticket cancellations are no longer possible. And in all the others, the cancellation offers less advantageous conditions: it is no longer possible to recover 100% of the amount.

In addition, only in Infinita bistró is seat selection included, which in the case of 1st class only had a cost in Singular Only You.
Structure and characteristics of the new tariffs
The new iryo offer is organised around the following options:
- Inicial Fare: It continues to be the most economical alternative, designed for those who prioritise a reasonable price without renouncing the characteristic comfort of the service.
- Inicial Superior Fare: Aimed at corporate customers, it adds to the Basic fare the possibility of free same-day time changes and free seat selection.
- Infinita Fare: Adds more comfort, with XL seats and premium services, suitable for those looking for extra exclusivity, but without gastronomic service included.
- Infinita Bistró Fare: Offers the most complete on-board experience, combining maximum comfort and flexibility with a catering service served directly at the seat. It is the only one that allows you to travel with three suitcases in addition to hand luggage.
All categories offer access to the Club Yo loyalty programme, benefits such as the free Cercanías service and, for companies, personalised attention seven days a week.
Comparison with previous fares
The previous model, called Singular to the new Inicial Superior and added two more options in XL seats: Singular Only You and Singular Only You Abierta. While the Inicial fare was already the cheapest, the intermediate fares (Singular and Singular Café) offered degrees of flexibility and certain additional services.
Advantages for travellers and professionals
The fare revision is the result of the express demands of the corporate traveller, which translates into greater flexibility in the event of unforeseen incidents, the facility to reorganise journeys, and the integration of loyalty programmes. Discounts increase with the length of service of the corporate customer.
