The exchange and reimbursement measure covers Alfa Pendular, Intercities, International, Interregional and Regional services, with the reimbursement of the total value of the ticket being available or the free exchange for another train of the same category and in the same class.
These requests can be made automatically, through the post-sales area of the CP site, for tickets purchased on digital channels, or in the MyCP option of the carrier application.
Passengers may also apply to CP ticket offices for these operations, in any case up to 15 minutes before the departure of the train from the station of origin indicated on the ticket.
The company also makes available the possibility of requesting reimbursement through the form ‘Refund for Delay or Suppression’, warning, however, to higher response times.
