Flexpreis, darf ich die Route nehmen statt 2 Zwischenstopps nur einen?
Ich fahre laut meinem Ticket um 17 Uhr nach Essen mit dem IC dann mit einem IC nach Mannheim und zuletzt mit dem ICE nach stuttgart
ich möchte jedoch schon um 12 Uhr fahren, die Strecke geht los mit dem ABR nach Essen und von da aus mit dem ICE (welcher auch über Mannheim fährt) direkt nach Stuttgart.
Ist das erlaubt oder muss ich drauf zahlen ??
Yeah, but only if you have a flex price ticket. Then there should be “ICE ticket” somewhere up there. As soon as you buy a Flexpreis ticket, where there is an ICE, you have an ICE ticket with which you can also drive the entire route with ICEs, if this is possible.
See also in the terms of transport:
Anyone who wants to pay less must explicitly buy a ticket without ICE. However, if you have a savings price ticket, you have to drive exactly with the trains on the ticket.
Thank you for asking again at the DB Zentrum
But was right
As the IC and ICE are a different price class, you pay. If all the trains were an ICE and the route otherwise the same, it wouldn’t matter. For a flex price unwinds from a train and you can take any train on the day of validity that drives this way.
Would I have dinner with the ABR at 12 a.m. with the IC to Mannheim and from there with the ICE to Stuttgart would be okay?
You paid for an IC/EC trip to Mannheim and for an ICE trip to Stuttgart. You can drive Ergo with all trains in the valid price class.
