Deutsche Bahn Launches €99.99 Summer Familienticket for Up to Five
The nationwide roundtrip long‑distance pass is meant to help families cope with higher fuel and flight costs tied to the Iran war.
Overview
- Regional reporting and Deutsche Bahn confirmed that the DB‑Familienticket went on sale in mid‑June and is valid for roundtrip long‑distance travel in Germany from June 26 until mid‑September.
- The flat fare costs €99.99 and covers up to five people on one booking, with a maximum of two adults (15 and over) and up to four children aged 6–14, while children under six travel free on long‑distance trains.
- Tickets are bound to specific trains and connections (Zugbindung), and the pass includes up to five seat reservations with any extra seats needing a paid reservation.
- The offer is valid for domestic long‑distance routes only and is displayed automatically in the booking flow when customers search journeys that include children.
- Deutsche Bahn says the price targets families changing plans because of higher petrol and air fares; the deal could steer some holiday travel from cars and planes to long‑distance trains and put extra pressure on peak‑time seat availability.
