Eurostar

I am trying to book tickets to Brussels in December and it is just getting to the date when these will be bookable (you can't book too far in advance).

Anyway, does anyone have any idea of whether the fares available at the beginning of "release" are likely to be higher than those if you left it closer to the time?

    Don't wait, phone Eurostar tomorrow and see if your dates are out for sale yet. Eurostar fares are the cheapest they are going to be on the day they are released. Once the cheapest fares have been sold the price jumps up to the next price band and so on.

    I paid £84 Ebbsfleet to Brussels return and booked about 8 weeks before travel.

    As has been said try to book as soon as tickets are released for the cheapest fares.

    Get online the day the tickets are released, 120 days ahead I believe. They will only go up, not down (like some airlines do).
