Each ticket vendor has its own price category, in addition to the comfort category/compartment type (sleeper, couchette, seating coach). The price category is mainly determined by the possibility of ticket changes and cancellations.

On nightride.com, we summarise the price categories of the different providers into reduced, semi-flexible and flexible:

Reduced: mostly non-refundable/postponable

Semi-flexible: limited refundable/postponable up to a specific date, for a fee

Flexible: can be cancelled free of charge or for a small fee until shortly before departure.

When booking a ticket, check the relevant conditions with the vendor.
