Overview
- The Familienticket goes on sale Sunday, 14 June, and is valid for travel between 26 June and 14 September with a roundtrip price of €99.99 and a one‑way price of €59.99.
- Each ticket covers up to five people in 2nd class, allows a maximum of two adults and requires at least one child, and includes up to five seat reservations.
- DB will release ‘several hundred thousand’ Familientickets overall but said the number available per train depends on load, and journeys that include regional legs carry extra fees of €44 for return or €22 one‑way.
- Complementary youth measures announced include Super‑Sparpreis Young fares from €4.99 for under‑27s and a free Jugend BahnCard 25 for those up to 18 years old for one year.
- From August DB plans a paid Junior Express escort service for unaccompanied children aged 6–14 on selected direct Friday and Sunday routes, and the offer sits alongside ongoing corridor renovations and private competitors that may affect routing and practical availability.
