Eurostar question

albionsarah

Hi there, hoping someone can advise me on this.

I would like to take my daughter to France in February half term. I understand I can book 120 days in advance, but the hotel I really want to stay at only has two rooms left.

Does anyone have any experience of how fast half-term tickets sell out? Am I likely to even get the dates I want?

Any advice appreciated. Thanks!

which destination are you going to in France by Eurostar?

Hopefully Lille

Just realised I've posted this thread twice by accident! Can I delete the other one? Gosh I'm rubbish at this!

you can book Lille now on the Eurostar site for Feb half term - they are at their cheapest prices too, from £69 return .

Really??? I looked last week and couldn't see the dates I wanted, then the FAQ bit said not until 120 days before.

Oh my goodness, this is very exciting! Cool, I'd better find the credit card. Ooooh, thank you! Xx

In answering the general question, for the trains to fully sell out it takes a fair amount of time but for the fares to be bumped up is another matter.

I used to fairly frequently travel to Paris by Eurostar and rarely more than a weeks notice; not once did I have a case of not being able to get a ticket within an hr of the time I wanted to leave/ return but certainly sometimes I was paying through the roof for it
