€99.99: Deutsche Bahn Family Ticket Is Now a Permanent Offer

TVS News AI, editorially supervised, presents €99.99: Deutsche Bahn Family Ticket Is Now a Permanent Offer.

Since October 26, 2026, Deutsche Bahn’s family ticket has been available again for €99.99. The key difference from the previous status: the offer is no longer time-limited but is set to remain permanently available.

This is Deutsche Bahn’s response to a pretty direct line of criticism. According to Handelsblatt, it had to weather a lot of resistance when it abolished the family reservation. Its answer is the family ticket.

For travelers with families, the change is now immediately tangible: The ticket is available again starting today. The stated price is €99.99; in addition, the former time limit no longer applies. This means the ticket is no longer temporary but permanently available.

Deutsche Bahn Turns a Temporary Offer into a Permanent One

The decisive change

Until now, the family ticket had been a time-limited model. It is now permanently available. This goes beyond a simple extension: Deutsche Bahn is now treating the ticket as a regular offering with no announced end.

The current reports by Die Zeit and Handelsblatt cite the same core point: Sales are resuming, the price is €99.99 and what was previously a temporary offer is now permanently available.

For buyers

You can therefore no longer regard the ticket solely as a limited-time special promotion. It is back on sale today. Both reports cite the same decisive figure: €99.99.

The Abolition of the Family Reservation Sparks the Debate

Two decisions, one connection

The reports deal with two connected decisions: The family reservation was abolished, and Deutsche Bahn responded with the family ticket precisely to the criticism that arose as a result. The offer therefore cannot be viewed independently of the debate over the reservation.

From Deutsche Bahn’s perspective, what matters is that it is responding to the criticism with the family ticket and is not simply ignoring the abolition. For travelers, in turn, it is important to distinguish the two terms. The family reservation was abolished; the family ticket is Deutsche Bahn’s new response.

What Concretely Changes for Families From Today

Three hard facts at launch

• The current reports cite €99.99 as the price for the family ticket.
• From today, it is back on sale.
• The key difference from the previously temporary phase is that the offer will remain permanently available.

Especially for people who already know the offer from its time-limited phase, this shift in perspective is relevant. They no longer need to plan for a possible imminent end to the time limit. The ticket is now designed as a permanent offering.

The price of €99.99 is also one cent below the round €100 mark. Whether the offer is the right choice for your own travel group cannot be answered categorically based on these three pieces of information alone – but the decisive change for all interested parties is clear: Sales are running again, and the time limit has been eliminated.

Conclusion: A Limited-Time Response Becomes a Fixed Offering

The key news does not lie in the resumption of sales, but in the permanent status of the offer. Deutsche Bahn’s family ticket costs €99.99, is immediately available again and is no longer temporary. For Deutsche Bahn, it is also the response to criticism of the abolition of the family reservation.

Deutsche Bahn has thus turned an initially time-limited response into a permanent offering. For your family, this means concretely: The ticket can be booked again, the currently stated price is fixed and there is no longer a time limit.
