Deutsche Bahn introduces last minute tickets; on sale every Sat and Sun from May 9th for travel for the following week for as low as 6.99

I'm quite interested to see how this improves the farebox for Fernverkehr. D-Ticket is so ridiculously good for last minute travel that I will change my destination based on where I can get to from my home, even with the time penalty being on a slower train (looking at you Teppich RE Berlin - Dresden). This might tempt me back to Fernverkehr for extra trips especially if it can match or even beat Flix prices.

Let's see how many of them will actually be on offer for €6.99. I hope it's not just gonna be the very late / early trains.

Only the very short stretches (e.g. from Berlin to Lutherstadt Wittenberg)
