hey boom_shaka. please do a SEARCH on "preferente", "clase preferente" or "preferential class". you will see a thread entitled "RENFE long distance. Tourist -vs- Preferential class!" that you MUST read. it is about RENFE in general and not the AVE but you can apply what you read there to the AVE as well. i think you can safely assume that if it is not worth the extra euros on an 8 hour ride, it is most likely not worth it on a 2.5 hour ride. saludos, jer...

Hi,
The preferente is really nice. After being screwed over by socibus(my friend and i bought bus tickets from seville to madrid, only to find that the person who printed the tickets neglected to make our return date different from our departure date, meaning we would have had to arrive in madrid, and then get on a bus the same second to go back to seville. bottom line, that person needs a new brain) we had no other choice but to take the ave, and as there were no turista seats left, we had to go preferente. when u get these tickets, u are entitled to wait in the preferente lounge, where there are free drinks, food, newspapers, the works. and on the train, you get a meal and drinks included. so, if this is worth the extra 30euros to u, it might be something of interest. otherwise, i'd say spend your money on other things in spain, but that's just my opinion. hope this helps.
