Does anyone know what the deal is with this box that shows up on some flight search web sites asking to be checked if you are "resident/large family"? Must I be both to click it? Do I qualify as a resident if I have my "carte de sejour," basically, my extended visa verifying I don't have tuberculosis, have been vouched for by DH's company and can stay in the country for the next year?

I've never seen that, strange!

I have never seen that either. Weird. Does it change anything- like is it cheaper if you are or are not?

A residency card makes you a resident until it expires, so yeah. You are a resident. But how bizarre they linked that to large family.

I've never seen that either.

Is there a "help" option for the box? With further explanation for it... Never seen it or heard of it before...

bugabean your link led me to google this link.... www.tumbit.com/how-to-guides/articles/153-spanish-large-family-discount-card.html

so- 3 or more kids is a large family. I was thinking like 10 kids. Man, am I way off the mark!

Spanish airlines?

I wonder if the resident bit is talking about Canarias/Baleares residents, who do receive a discount on island-penninsula travel. Also, a "familia numerosa" is 3+ kids (or 2 if one has a severe disability). They get a number of discounts throughout Spain.

I have to wonder how well a scheme like that works. I know that, personally, the ability to save 10% on plane tickets is not enough to tip me into the "ok, I guess I can squeeze one more out" camp. But maybe that's just me.
