Eurostar

Hey there

Anyone have advice on how to get cheap tickets on the Eurostar? I will be travelling from London to Paris at the beginning of August.

Any deals/schemes people know of?

Cheers

Annie

    Oops, I meant to post a reply, not to thank you!

    Are you just going one way? If so, I would buy a cheap £59 return if it's available for my date of travel and only use the outward portion. The last time I tried to buy a single ticket, I was quoted £149 as they have no special prices for one-ways.

    Hi,

    Do you have any Tesco clubcard vouchers? I think they do the £2.50 of vouchers is £10 in Eurostar vouchers... Worth a go if you have any spare points!

    Hope you find a good price and enjoy your trip!

    On the Eurostar Booking page, when in the start it asks you about your country of resdence, write france instead of UK and then U will notice that the price of tickets comes down a lot.
    I myself did it as I need just oneway to Brussels, so went thru Belgian site n got my tix for 40 euros instead of 59£ on UK page. The tickets were delivered to my UK address as I gave the delivery address as UK address,
    Hope it helps
    I wanted to thankyou a million times but its a shame that I can press the button just once :T
