Hello,
I sent an email to DB as I have never purchased train tickets online before. I checked on the sight and I need to get from Frankfurt airport to Nuremburg. I arrive 19/Sep 6:30 so thought I would get the 8:30 am train just incase there is any delay, in the sight it says I can buy a special ticket for 29 Euros on the ICE train, however DB told me the following
Prices from:
AUD 63 in 2nd class per person one way (advance purchase)
Add AUD 15 per seat reservation per person
Advance purchase fares quoted are available at time of quoting but can sell out at anytime
International reservations open between 60 and 120 days prior to the train’s departure date depending on the type of train service required.
We also charge:
1 x $15.00 shipping fee (AUD 30.00 for Northern Territory) documents are delivered by courier
1 x $40.00 process fee
1 x $40.00 late booking (if dept date from Australia is within 3 working days)
Payment method is by Credit Card (advised over the phone or by email). There are no fees for Visa and MasterCard. Amex attracts a 3% merchant fee.
I thought I would just be able to print my ticket off, so if I understand correctly they will also charge me a $40 fee for processing my request and $15 for sending me the ticket. Is this correct? If so then I am probably just better off buying the ticket when I am there.
Thank you for your help
