As I look to buy train tickets, I see Promo and Promo +, as well as the round trip and the flexible fares. I want to be able to select my seat. When I look at Promo which does not allow it, there is a line that says Promo + for 3,85 Euros more lets you select your seat. But then when select Promo + it still shows that you cannot select your seat. I'm confused. Please help me understand this
I have been trying to figure out what is best - go from Sevilla to Cordoba in morning (arrive Cordoba 8:45) and then catch etiher 12.56 or 15.00 train from Cordoba to Madrid, or go straight to Madrid from Sevilla, and do a daytrip to Cordoba out of Madrid. The advantage to the latter is that we don't have to use a locker to store our luggage. The disadvantage (that I can tell) is we waste almost 4 hrs more in travel (Madrid to Cordoba a little less than 2 hrs) plus the day we'd go to Madrid, we would be sacrificing "Madrid time" for a morning in Sevilla. Regardless, I still need to understand what Renfe means when it says Promo + lets you choose seat, but then when selecting Promo + it still says cannot choose seat.
