Can I change or cancel my train ticket?
Yes, you can change or cancel your train ticket with Deutsche Bahn, but the specific terms and conditions depend on the type of ticket you purchased. Generally speaking, standard tickets such as Flexpreis offer more flexibility for changes and cancellations compared to discounted tickets like Sparpreis.
If you have a Flexpreis ticket, you can typically change your travel plans without incurring additional fees, as long as you do so before your scheduled departure. For cancellations, you may also be eligible for a refund, though it is advisable to check the exact conditions that apply.
On the other hand, if you have purchased a Sparpreis ticket, the options for changes or cancellations may be more limited. Usually, there is a fee associated with changes, and refunds are not available for cancellations after the ticket has been issued.
To manage your booking, Deutsche Bahn provides an online platform where you can view your tickets, make changes, or cancel if necessary. It is a good idea to have your booking reference number on hand for easy access. For the most accurate and detailed information regarding your specific ticket, it would be beneficial to refer to the official Deutsche Bahn website. This resource will give you clarity on the applicable fees and any time restrictions regarding changes and cancellations.
