Eurostar prices

Just seen the MSE Discount Codes for travel on Eurostar, where it is stated that the usual return fare to Paris is £78.00 (before the MSE discount is applied). Yet when I look on the Eurostar website to check this out using different dates and combinations of cheapest tickets available the total cost for the return fare is generally more than £100.00 over and above the £78.00! So where should I be looking on the Eurostar website to find these £78.00 return tickets?

The article refers to £78 being the cheapest possible not the usual. It also states that these cheapest tickets are limited

The discount will work on one-way or return trips from London St Pancras to Paris, Lille, Brussels, Rotterdam or Amsterdam. One-way ticket prices usually range from £39 to £339, and the cheapest of these tend to be very limited, mostly off-peak and need to be booked well in advance, so you'll need to be flexible on travel dates to snag the cheapest ticket. The 20% off means the cheapest Paris return is £62.40 instead of the usual £78 (£39 each way).

You can use the low fare finder on the Eurostar website

eg there are £39 tickets on most Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Saturdays in September outbound and on many days for the return so you could book a return for £78
