Deutsche Bahn: Bahn verkauft Familienticket ab heute wieder
Für die Abschaffung der Familienreservierung musste die Deutsche Bahn viel Kritik einstecken. Ihre Antwort: das Familienticket. Aus dem temporären Angebot wird nun ein dauerhaftes.
Deutsche Bahn has resumed selling family tickets for long-distance journeys, effective immediately. The new fare, priced at 99.99 euros, applies to trips starting from November 1st for a return journey on an IC or ICE train, including seat reservations.
The company had faced significant criticism in mid-2025 for scrapping the family reservation system. Previously, families could reserve up to five seats for 10.40 euros. Since then, the cost per seat has become individual.
Initially, during the summer holidays, Deutsche Bahn offered the family ticket again as a temporary measure to address public dissatisfaction over the removal of family reservations. Now, the rail giant has made the family ticket a permanent offering. With the family ticket, up to five individuals can travel by long-distance train in second class across Germany for nearly 100 euros, including a seat reservation. A single ticket costs 59.99 euros.
