Ouigo launches new promotion
OUIGO, the French railway operator in Spain has launched a promotion aimed at travellers aged over 30, offering them a 20 per cent discount on various routes.
The destinations with discounted tickets include Madrid, Zaragoza, Tarragona, Barcelona, Valencia, Albacete and Alicante.
As shown on the Ouigo website, this offer by the lowcost highspeed train operator will be available between July 31 and September 2.
It is added to the already existing discounts for young people up to 30 years of age, promoted by the government, in which Ouigo participates.
A total of 50,000 discounts have been made available by the company. They are on sale until June 30 through the Ouigo website and mobile application.
To benefit from this discount, all that a prospective passenger has to do is use the promotional code VIEJOVEN. These discounts will be applied to the amount of the ticket in round trip reservations with a minimum value of €40.
With this promotion called ‘Viejóven’, the company aims to facilitate summer travel by highspeed train for people over 30 years of age. Its objective is to promote a more sustainable means of transport and reduce travel by other more polluting means, such as aeroplanes and cars.
Ouigo intends to show its commitment to young people, a profile that can be affected by rising prices, while also gaining other travellers who want to make summer getaways. These discounts also contribute to the modal shift towards more sustainable options in Spain.
These latest offers add to Ouigo’s long history of launching promotions during periods of high demand, such as Fallas and Christmas.
Recently, Ouigo requested a capacity study from Adif with the aim of starting operations in 2024 on the lines that connect Valladolid, Segovia, Madrid, Albacete, Alicante, Madrid, Elche, and Murcia.
