German Rail: Rail sells family ticket again from today
The German railways had to face a lot of criticism for abolishing the family reservation. Their response: the family ticket. The temporary offer is now becoming a permanent one.
The Deutsche Bahn has reintroduced its family ticket for long-distance travel, now available permanently. The ticket costs 99.99 euros for a round trip in IC or ICE trains, including seat reservations, and can be used for travel starting from November 1. The ticket allows up to five people to travel together in second-class trains across Germany. This offer comes after the company faced criticism for abolishing family seat reservations in mid-2025. A single journey with the family ticket costs 59.99 euros.
