Bayern ticket and ICE trains

I would like to travel on a Sunday from Munich to Aschaffenburg using the Bayern ticket for 2 people. Is it possible to take ICE trains with the Bayern ticket?

We will be traveling on to Frankfurt airport after that and I don't think the Bayern ticket covers this portion of the trip, so I guess we will have to purchase separate tickets from Aschaffenburg to Frankfurt, right?

Thanks for your help! Laurie

No to ICE.

Yes to 2nd part.

The Bayern ticket is valid on local trains only: IRE, RE, RB, S-Bahn.
No ICE, IC or EC trains.

If you are travelling on a Sunday, you could use a Schoenes Wochenende ("Happy Weekend&quot ticket to get to Frankfurt--Like a Bayern ticket, only valid throughout Germany on local trains, 2nd class for 33 Euros http://www.bahn.de/p/view/internatio..._tourist.shtml

The journey duration difference between local and faster trains is substantial, however. In exchange for saving a bundle, you will have about a 6 hour trip vs a 3.5 hour ride.

Thank you all for your help! I am getting a little frustrated, because when I go to the die bahn website and look at tickets between munich and aschaaffenburg, there are only ICE trains available.

How do I find regional trains?
Thanks again for your help! Laurie

To view regional trains, change "Means of transport" to "only local transport".
