Eurostar Breaks

Posts Tagged ‘special offers’

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.
