99,99 Euro: Bahn verkauft Familienticket ab heute wieder

Deutsche Bahn reintroduces the Family Ticket, allowing up to five people to travel together for €99.99. This permanent ticket, valid from November 1st, includes seat reservations and covers trips in the IC or ICE trains, including a seat reservation. The move comes after criticism in mid-2025 for scrapping the Family Reservation, which previously allowed up to five people to travel together for €10.40.

The temporary Family Ticket during the summer months saw a significant increase in usage, with nearly 100,000 more families traveling than the previous year. This success prompted German Rail to make the Family Ticket a permanent offering. For €59.99, a single journey can be made by up to five people in second class across the country.

The ticket applies regardless of family relationship, allowing an adult (15 years and older) to travel with up to four children or two adults with up to three children. However, there are no pre-set limits on the number of tickets available. While the ticket is widely available, it may not be offered on highly booked routes. Deutsche Bahn has observed a growing demand for family travel and continues to monitor the trend.
