  • Am I eligible for the discount for Canary Island residents? What documentation do I need?

PROOF OF IDENTITY

Following the instructions contained in the National Civil Aviation Security Programme (edition updated as at 17 July 2008), the valid documents are:

  • Identity Document (Spanish or EU) or valid Passport.
  • Spanish minors under the age of 14 who are flying within the national territory are not obliged to carry a National ID Document or Passport, as the people under whose charge they are travelling are responsible for these.

PROOF OF RESIDENT STATUS

Pursuant to Royal Decree (CE) 1316/2001, amended by Royal Decree 1340/2007 of 11 October, in order to make use of the discounted ticket, the passenger must prove their resident status when checking in as well as when boarding, with the following documentation:

  • Spanish passengers with a valid National ID Document, which must show their address in the Canary Islands. In cases where their National ID Document does not show this address, which makes them eligible for the discount, they must also show the Certificate of Residence for Travel from their corresponding Town Council, which shall be valid for up to six months.
  • Spanish passengers under the age of 14 who do not have a National ID Document must prove their eligibility by means of the Certificate of Residence, valid for six months, from the Town Council in which they reside, which must show the date of birth of the minor.
  • For citizens of the EU Member States or of the other States which have signed the European Economic Area Agreement or Switzerland, the supporting document shall be the Certificate of Registration issued by the Central Registry of Foreigners, and which must in all cases be accompanied by the identity document from their country or a valid passport.
  • Deputies and Senators of the corresponding constituencies, with their Credential.

N.B: On a provisional basis, the following exceptional circumstances shall be considered, in order to prove the status of resident:
A) Renewal of the National ID Document: the client can prove their identity and Resident status by showing the supporting paperwork to prove that their ID Document is being renewed, within the term of its validity, accompanied by the expired identity document or Passport.
B) Robbery, Theft of the National ID Document: A police statement which must be presented together with the passenger’s Passport, as proof of identity.
C) Resident's Card and Resident's Permit for citizens of the EU Member States or of a State which has signed the European Economic Area Agreement or Switzerland, whilst this is valid.

ADDITIONAL PROOF

  • Pursuant to the Order of the Ministry of Development 3837/2006, in order to travel with a ticket with the large family discount, proof must be shown by means of the relevant documentation, at the check-in desk and when boarding (large family certificate or equivalent separate document, currently valid, showing the certificate number and the category, as well as the additional compulsory documents, according to their ticket fare and their travel destination)
  • On flights outside of the national territory, check the necessary documentation and requirements.
  • Minors who are travelling outside of the national territory unaccompanied by their parents/guardians, must show authorisation to travel with another adult, or under the charge of the carrier, if the minor is travelling alone, together with the compulsory documentation necessary for their travel. This parent/guardian authorisation must be formalised by an authority in the minor’s country of origin.
  • In order to travel with Special fares (Campus/Junior/Senior/Athlete) the corresponding supporting documents must also be shown.

  • What do I need to be eligible for the large family discount? How do I purchase it on the website?

To be eligible for this discount, the ticket holder must be able to prove at the time of purchase their status as a member of a large family by means of the official large family certificate or an equivalent separate document showing the certificate number and category. The status of the holder must be valid up to the date of completion of the journey. The certificate must be shown at the time of boarding, and it is therefore essential that the passenger brings it with them along with their other documentation.

Value of the discount:

  • General Large Family (type 1): 5% discount on the amount of the fare after applying, if appropriate, the discounts according to the type of passenger (children under 12 years of age or babies under 2 years of age)
  • Special Large Family (type 2): 10% discount on the amount of the fare after applying, if appropriate, the discounts according to the type of passenger (children under 12 years of age or babies under 2 years of age)

To purchase it on bintercanarias you just need to tick the “Passengers in a large family” box, select the type of discount for which you are eligible and complete the information requested in the passenger details.

IMPORTANT: Passengers in possession of discounted tickets who are unable to prove their identity as beneficiaries will be prevented from boarding with these tickets.

  • Which fares can I purchase through bintercanarias.com?

You may check the fares that can be purchased through bintercanarias.com in the section “Fares”, in “ Buying”.

  • Is the price shown for the flight I’ve selected for one passenger only or for everyone?

The price shown when you select the flight you want is the amount for all the passengers for one route only. The taxes will then have to be added to this price. The full price of your tickets will appear broken down in the following step of the purchase: “2. Passenger details”.

  • Can I purchase tickets for other people with my user name? How?

It is possible to purchase tickets for a passenger other than the registered user. Once you reach the passenger details step, the details of the registered user will appear by default. You must delete these details completely and replace them with the details of the person who will be taking the flight.

  • Can I purchase tickets for children without an adult?

Yes, although you must take into account that whilst the purchase can be made without an adult, at the time of travel, minors must travel accompanied by at least one adult of legal age.

Tickets for minors who will be travelling unaccompanied cannot be purchased on bintercanarias.com. If you need to purchase a ticket for a child who will be travelling alone, please contact our Telephone Assistance Service, by calling the telephone number 902 391 392, 902BINTER or by visiting any of the Binter Vende offices at airports or your usual Travel Agency.

  • How many babies can travel with me?

Only one infant is permitted per adult. The maximum number of babies on board is limited according to the type of aircraft and is therefore subject to confirmation. If, once the ticket has been issued, it is not possible to confirm the baby’s booking, our operators will contact you.

For further information, you can call our Telephone Assistance Centre, 902 391 392 or 902 BINTER

  • Is it possible to make a booking on the website? (without paying or issuing the ticket)

Only the immediate purchase of tickets by credit or debit card is accepted, and it is not therefore possible to make bookings on our website.

  • How can I pay for my tickets?

You can pay for your tickets with a card from the 4B system, Visa or MasterCard. Payments are made through the bank’s secure webpage.

  • I can’t make the payment: What does "Operation denied (xxx)" mean? Why has my card not been accepted? Why does it take me back to the passenger details after I have entered the card details?

The denial of your purchase at the moment of payment is normally due to an error in the format in which the details of the credit or debit card have been entered. Check that in the “Card” field the 16 digits from the front of the card have been entered with no spaces (you do not need to enter the type of card, as this can be identified by the numbering); then select the expiry date in the drop-down menu; finally, enter your card’s security code in the “SecCode” field. The security code is the 3 last digits of the number on the back of your card (where your signature appears).

The “Operation denied (190)” error is a payment denial message from your bank. If you receive this denial code, please consult your bank with regard to the cause. In other cases, you may contact our Telephone Assistance Service on 902 391 392, 902BINTER or by email on operadoresweb@bintercanarias.com.

  • How do I know whether the purchase has been made correctly?

Once you have purchased your ticket, a final confirmation should appear, informing you that the purchase has been successful and indicating your booking locator. You should also automatically receive an email confirming all the details of the ticket you have bought.

If you have not received this confirmation email, check that your email address is correctly shown in your registration and that our information is not being blocked as undesired mail.

In the “My Binter” section, the “My bookings” area will also show all the information regarding the purchase you have just made. You can also contact us at any time on telephone 902 391 392, 902 BINTER or by email on operadoresweb@bintercanarias.com to obtain further information on your booking.

  • What is an electronic ticket? Do I need to go and collect my ticket?

The tickets you purchase through bintercanarias.com are electronic and you will not therefore need an actual ticket.

The most important advantages of the e-ticket are:

  • A ticket which is easy and convenient to use. The passenger can happily go to the airport without an actual ticket and can collect their boarding pass at the Check-in Express machines, by typing in their identity document number, or if preferred, they can go directly to the conventional check-in desks, and show their valid documentation to the representative.
  • No theft or losses. As there is no actual ticket involved, you do not need to worry about losing it.

NB: Unlike other airlines, under no circumstances do you need to show the credit or debit card with which you made the payment for the ticket.

After the purchase:

  • Will I receive any kind of physical document after buying a ticket?

The tickets you purchase through bintercanarias.com are electronic tickets and no actual document is therefore necessary, other than your identity documentation and where necessary any other documentation as proof of a specific status.

However, you will automatically receive an email to inform you of all the details of the e-ticket you have purchased.

  • How can I view my booking once completed? And how can I obtain an invoice?

Once you have purchased your ticket, you can view your booking in the “My Binter” section in the “My bookings” area. To issue your invoice, you can also access within the “My Binter” section the “My invoices” area or via the button shown on the final confirmation once you have made the purchase.

You can issue your invoice either in your own name or in the name of a company. If you have registered the details of your company in your profile, these will appear by default when you click on the “Invoice company” button. If not, you can enter them manually.

  • Can I change or cancel my purchases?

If your fare is Tourist or Flexible, you can make changes to your booking directly on bintercanarias.com, provided that your ticket has not been amended previously through our Telephone Assistance Service and your flight is no more than 3 days old with respect to the current date. To do this you must view your booking in the “My bookings” section, access the details of the ticket by clicking on the icon . Then, access the details of the booking by clicking again on the icon . If your ticket fulfils the necessary terms and conditions, the “Make changes” button will appear.

Alternatively, the changes can be made by calling the Telephone Assistance Service 902 391 392 or 902BINTER.

The cancellation and refund of your tickets, provided that this is permitted by the fare, can also be made via the Telephone Assistance Service 902 391 392 or 902BINTER.

You can consult the terms and conditions of your ticket’s fare here.

  • What documentation must I show at the airport?

The passenger must only show their own identity documentation (DNI, passport, official identity document from their country of origin, etc.). This documentation must coincide exactly with that entered by the user when the ticket was purchased. Also, where necessary, they must show the documentation required as proof of residence (certificate of residence or foreigner’s registration certificate) and/or of large family status.

Unlike other companies, under no circumstances do you need to show the credit/debit card with which you purchased the ticket.

  • Will I earn BinterMás points when I make the purchase?

Your points will be added when the flight takes place. However, if you enter your BinterMás card number at the time of purchase, you will not need to show it again when you check in.

  • Can the name of the ticket holder be changed once the purchase has been made?

The tickets are personal and non-transferable, and therefore once the ticket has been issued, the holder cannot be changed.

One possibility, providing that the fare conditions allow, is to ask for a refund of your ticket and have a new ticket issued under another name.
