ÖBB expands train connections: How to travel comfortably on holiday!

Between December 20th and January 6th, travelers can expect a special offer on the tracks. ÖBB is deploying over 80 additional trains on the southern and western routes to cope with increased travel pressure during the Christmas holidays. These additional connections are not only a response to the high desire to travel during the festive season, but also an invitation to spend the holidays on a budget. In order to make the journeys even more attractive, ÖBB offers a variety of savings rails that make it possible to travel at affordable prices, such as 5min.at reported.

Flexibility is also very important: travelers have the option of canceling their seat reservations up to one day before the planned departure. During a booking, it is easy to add a reservation by clicking on it in the additional options. If you prefer to reserve without a ticket, you can do this easily via the Deutsche Bahn website or the locked app. The “graphical seat display” allows passengers to select their desired seats directly, and for 1st class customers a seat reservation is even automatically included in the Flexpreis ticket, as Deutsche Bahn explains on its website ( bahn.de ).

With these measures, ÖBB and Deutsche Bahn want to ensure that all travelers get to their holiday destinations stress-free and comfortably. Recommendations for reserving seats on busy days suggest that traveling during Christmas and New Year requires careful planning.
