Comparison of Alsa normal with Alsa Premium.If you are prepared to pay a bit extra there is a premium bus service on many routes in Spain.
For example there is an Alsa Premium bus service from Granada to Madrid.
Not all of the buses are premium and if you search using the alsa website you can normally only find one or two per day.
A normal ticket form Madrid from Granada is around 19 euros.
A premium ticket costs around 48 euros.
It is sometimes possible to find special offers with much lower prices.

With premium you get:
Premium waiting rooms

Some buses are faster because it is not necessary to stop for refreshments because they are served on board.
Here is a reviewCoach is very comfortable, lots of leg room. Every seat has a TV monitor and we were supplied head phones right away.
The free films were all in Spanish with no subtitles but there was music and games I could use.
After an hour we were given breakfast including coffee. Then 2 hours later we were offered snacks and cold drink including beer or wine. WiFi is free and good.
I booked on a special offer day so it only cost 25 euro.
I though it was worth the extra money.
