Optional Payment Charge (OPC)

If your journey starts in Czech Republic (CZ), Germany (DE), Denmark (DK), Finland (FI), the United Kingdom (GB), Ireland (IE), Luxembourg (LU), Netherlands (NL), Norway (NO) or Poland (PL) an Optional Payment Charge (OPC) may apply.

OPC varies depending on the card brand and card issuing country.

• Cards issued inside the European Economic Area (EEA):
  OPC will be charged for payments made by commercial credit cards (e.g. company or corporate credit cards) and JCB credit cards.

• Cards issued outside the European Economic Area (EEA):
  OPC will be charged to all credit cards (commercial and consumer).

The maximum amount depends on the currency and is as follows: EUR 25, GBP 20, DKK 190, PLN 20, NOK 290 or CZK 680.

The OPC is charged at a standard rate in all transport areas and booking classes. 

No additional OPC is incurred for changes to bookings such as insurances and advance seat reservations and other subsequent additional payments. 

Tickets for infants (under the age of two) and Miles & More award tickets are exempt from the OPC.

The OPC is not refundable in the event of a cancellation.

Please note that the OPC is only displayed on the payment page after you have entered your credit card number and the CVV code.
