Booking train tickets for FlixTrain

There are many options to book your train ticket and here you can find an overview of all booking options. This step-by-step guide helps you find your way around and book your ticket online on the website, via the FlixBus App, or in a FlixShop.

Boarding without a valid FlixTrain ticket is not permitted. If you board without a valid ticket, the fare is higher and there is a possibility that we will have to disembark you if we don't have a seat available. Tickets must be purchased beforehand online, using the app, or in the shop. This enables us to guarantee that every passenger has a seat.
Your FlixTrain ticket has a train connection and is only valid on the train indicated on the ticket. Your ticket therefore cannot be transferred to another train.

Note: DB tickets (incl. Bahncard), local public transport tickets, Verbund tickets, Bundeswehr tickets, semester tickets, etc. are not permitted.
