Question about WestBahn Superpreis

Posted by (PA) on

I am planning to purchase a ticket for the Westbahn train from Vienna to Salzburg. The Superpreis is (obviously) the best price for the time I prefer. I saw this regarding the superpreis and have a question about its meaning:
Your benefits at a glance:

Free cancellation before starting your trip**
You can also use the ticket in any other train the same day***
Not personalized and therefore transferable

Does "you can also use the ticket in any other train the same day" mean that I can purchase a ticket for the 7:09 train but go on the 8:09 train if I prefer?

That sounds too good to be true; I could purchase at the lowest rate, and ride when I want. Thanks in advance.
I did read that the man in seat 61 prefers the Westbahn over Railjets because of the double decker train.

You got it.... almost:

From the WestBahn Website: https://westbahn.at/en/offers/westbahn-offers/westsuperpreise/

WESTsuperpreis tickets allow you to travel in WESTbahn starting from 4,99 Euro*
The tickets are limited and linked to a specific departure and they are now available in several price levels. You can exclusively book them online starting 30 days and (depending on the availability) up to one minute prior to departure**. The tickets are not personalized and thus transferable. If something gets in you way, you can either cancel your ticket free of charge before the scheduled departure or you can use it in any other WESTbahn connection the same day by paying a surcharge so that the final price amounts up to the WESTstandard price on board.
