"Deutsche Bahn will soon offer discounted last-minute tickets for long-distance travel. “Starting May 9, our customers will be able to book last-minute fares for the first time,” Michael Peterson, the executive in charge of long-distance travel, told newspapers in the Funke Media Group.
Tickets for travel the following week will then be available for purchase every Saturday and Sunday. The cheapest tickets are expected to cost 6.99 Euro. On top of that, the BahnCard discount may apply, according to Peterson. Children travel for free.
Deutsche Bahn plans to sell the last-minute tickets only for trains that still have available seats. The likelihood of snagging a bargain is therefore particularly high outside of peak travel times, said the executive in charge of long-distance travel. The offer will initially be valid for six months, with the option to extend it."
