I live in London and when I’ve finished my college course, I’d like to get a job and save up for my boyfriend and I to go to Paris for the weekend.

Some of the prices I’ve seen are outrageous (nearly £400 for two days) and I know nothing about booking a holiday. Help!

Paris is not a weekend affair for couples but for louveures (lovers).
Let the boyfriend pay for yourself to go alone or for the two of you to go together. Either way you go to Paris. Though, it is commendable you
want to go dutch (you treating), I find it uneventful that you pay for the trip.
Perhaps go half, 50/50,right down the middle,including to the hotel/motel room. Boyfriend shouldn’t have any problem tipping, paying for meals for two (2),tourism,car rental and souvenirs. However, clothing, shoes and accessories are the girlfriends’ department.
Check with travel agencies,for various prices.Cheap Tickets, book the reservations months in advance. (Go to www.cheaptickets.com)…
Fill out the form over the internet to get prices that way.
Adieu and Bon voyage!

Eurostar – Where can I find some cheap deals for 2009?

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.

How do i get the cheapest possible deal on Eurostar?

2 adults and 1 youth want to travel to paris from london next month. But the website is very confusing and the prices keep on changing. This is my first time using Eurostar, and i need some help.

Eurostar sells its tickets from the cheapest.
So for one train, second class, you can first buy say € 20 euro tickets, but they only have a few of them, so than they go on with € 50 Euro tickets and when those have sold the more expensive tickets will be sold and so on.
But different trains on one day sell their tickets at different speeds and they also have special offers.
(Prices are just as examples and have nothing to do with the real prices they charge.)

As a rule it is the best to buy on the day they start selling the tickets for the train you want, or as soon after as possible, (when you have made sure you can travel that day and such.)

But as the different trains sell tickets at different speeds, less popular trains often still have cheap tickets available when other trains do not.
So be as flexible as you can when ordering your tickets.
When you know when you want to travel you can ask the system to show you prices for the whole day, and select the cheapest one of those. Sometimes, if you can do so, you can get better prices a day earlier or later.

If you are really stuck, a travel agent often can help you to get the cheapest tickets, but you pay for the privilege.
