Not sure why omio lists the same train two times. One difference is that it chooses Interlaken West for the DB tickets and Interlaken Ost for the ÖBB tickets.
On top of that: buying a train ticket for Germany and Switzerland through the Austrian train company?
i think the expensive options are either first class or seat reservations. maybe selecting them will give you more information? you should also keep an eye out for transfer times incase of delays.
Is that a third party site comparing different railway companies?
Seems to be that the first one is the price if you book the ticket in Germany and the other one is the same train booked through the Austrian railways.
It’s the same train, but I suppose the lower price will have some restrictions (limited to the booked train, limited ability to reschedule) compared to the expensive one
Most likely you’re under 27 and thus Super Sparpreis Europa Young which DB offers applies to the ticket price. ÖBB offers the same train but they sell it for the regular flexible price.
My recommendation is to book the ticket where most of the route takes place (which is DB) and also book directly at their own website (makes it much easier to handle problems in the future if any occur). Just search for the same connection on the [bahn.de](http://bahn.de) website and should be good to go 🙂
Thanks all for the comments. Sent my cousin to bahn.de instead, tickets are €39,90 there for that same train. Changing flair to “Solved” (if I can).
