Eurostar Breaks

Posts Tagged ‘lastminute’

I wanted to go for a day trip to Paris during December but their site is quoting me hundreds and hundreds of pounds?! Surely there are last minute deals or a cheaper option?!

If it sells out, it sells out… The cheapest deals involve a Saturday night stay.

That said, the following can work:

- Set your home country to ‘USA’. This may need you to clear any cookies for eurostar.com, restart your browser and return to eurostar.com.

- Look on lastminute.com. They sometimes have cheaper deals than Eurostar themselves.

If all that fails… Consider flying. If you’re in London, the London City to Paris Orly service is quite convenient: both airports are central and manageable compared to Heathrow and Roissy-CDG.

Hi there. My boyfriend and I are hoping to go on holiday somewhere in Europe to have a triple celebration (his birthday/valentines day/our 5 year anniversary). But everywhere I have looked seem to be quite expensive (£200 + for a few nights) and we are on quite a tight budget as you can tell! I have looked on lastminute.com and teletext holidays, along with other websites, but I’m wondering if anyone knows of any package deals/eurostar breaks etc on other sites? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

For £200 it would be a miracle to find a city break for two, as a European break means two return flights, which even with a budget airline company will cost about £120 minimum.

Although Sardinia can be cheap depending on where you stay, the flights there will usually cover most of the £200 anyway. (Eurostar is also extremely expensive which i have never really understood.)

Alternatively, what you could do is drive yourselves to Paris or Rouen (which would be cheaper and close enough to visit Paris during the day). Taking the Eurotunnel will set you back about £70 each way, depending on the time and date you go through it.

Otherwise, you’ll have to loosen the purse strings,

If not, somerset is quite nice this time of year…
