German rail operator Deutsche Bahn is set to introduce a flat-rate family ticket for summer in response to the rising cost of fuel and air travel.
Deutsche Bahn's latest ticket offer is aimed at making train travel more affordable for families.
During the summer holiday weeks across German states – from late June to mid-September – up to five people can travel to and from their holiday destination on long-distance trains for €99.99. At least one child must be travelling in the group.
While unveiling the ticket on Tuesday, Deutsche Bahn (DB) said seat reservations are included in the price. The offer will be available for booking from mid-June.
The new ticket is being introduced in response to rising gas prices, and disruption to air travel due to conflict in the Middle East.
