    How much do 2 return Eurostar tickets normally cost? Any clues on the passwords? :confused:

    (duration) Standard
    Non flexible £139.00 Inbound - Sunday 9th August 2009 17:59 - Brussels Midi 19:03 - London St Pancras 02h04m
    (duration) Standard
    Non flexible £139.00 Total price for all passengers (average price per person - £139.00 £278.00

    I'm sure you can do it cheaper though

    two to amserdam for 130 is good I think. Do I need to buy the times for this or is there a workaround??
    :beer: Well aint funny how its the little things in life that mean the most? Not where you live, the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes.
    Theres no dollar sign on piece of mind
    This Ive come to know...
    So if you agree have a drink with me, raise your glasses for a toast :beer:

    As far as I know you need to buy The Times. If you buy The Sunday Times you get two passwords. I am not sure the if the passwords are unique or not.

    They did this offer to paris not so long ago for £99. The codes were not unique and you had to buy the times paper for about 4 days to get the codes. You then submitted the codes on the times website and it took you to about 3 months worth of dates and times at £99. When I looked for Paris they had loads of dates available.

    Its a fairly good deal as the cheapest you can normally get is £60pp there and £60pp on way back. So you save yourself £20 +

    Hope this helps.
