I've read that the German Flexi TWIN Pass is not available to purchase online, that it's only available to buy at DB Travel Centres. Does anyone know if that particular Pass is available to buy at the train station at Munich Airport? We're scheduled to arrive at 8:25 am on 8/28/24 (soon) and want to get the Pass at the Airport as we plan to use it that day to get into Munich and then get on a train to Innsbruck. We've been to Munich a few times and didn't want to just walk around town exhausted until we could check into our roooms so we decided to just travel on to Innsbruck where we haven't been yet. TIA for info.

I believe DB has discontinued the German Rail Pass. You can get a single country Eurail Pass, but then you say you are going to Innsbruck, in Austria. Then you would need a Global pass.

It is in fact valid to Innsbruck on certain trains (see flyer below.) But the GRP would only be worthwhile for multiple long-distance trips, probably within Germany. It is available online at eurail.com - now referred to as a eurailpass for one country.

I do not think it's available at the station anymore, but I may be wrong. Have a look at the eurail website to see if there are pos options in Munich somewhere.
One option for reaching Innsbruck is to take the train via Garmisch-Partenkirchen on the Regioticket Werdenfels + Innsbruck day pass, €48/2.

Buy it at the station from a ticket machine at Munich airport and use it at any hour that same day on the regional trains. This ticket resolves the problem you would have with a p2p saver fare ticket on the long-distance trains using the faster route for such trains (which are train-specific and would be forfeited if a delay caused you to miss your train.)
AFAIK there is no English-language page that describes the Werdenfels offer. But you can run text from that page through a translator for details, and there's nothig stopping you from buying it at the station upon arrival.

The usual workaround is to buy the ticket with the DB Navigator App (Android or Apple). It's also more convenient than queuing at the ticket machine. Select the connection Munich - Innsbruck via Mittenwald and you will automatically be offered the correct Werdenfales ticket (i.e. the one with the extension to Innsbruck).
