Eurostar London to Paris?

Question

Is it possible to do same day travel and return and do you have to book or can you just turn up and get on the train. And id there anything else that I need to know about traveling on it.

Answer 1

Yes, you can go there and back in a day easily. Twice if you were mad enough. You can buy tickets right up to the latest check-in time, so you could buy a ticket half an hour before boarding.

Answer 2

YOU CAN BUY YOUR TICKET AT ANY TRAVEL AGENCY

IN UK,  OR AT THE STATION IN LONDON.

Answer 3

Yes, of course,

THE SOONER YOU BOOK IT THE CHAEPER IT IS.

you can book on line at www.eurostar.com, or at the Travel Center at St Pancras station.

If you live in the USA or Canada, it is much cheaper to buy it from the US than the UK. (not know prices in $, but I know for sure it is cheaper)

When you book a ticket on line, you can collect your ticket from e-ticket machines at the station in St Pancras International. All you will need is your referrence and your credit card you booked it with to print the tickets.

It takes only 2hours15 min to Paris Gare du Nord, it is the center of Paris.

You need to check in at least 30 mins before departure.

To check in, all you have to do is insert your ticket into the machine, pick it up and then walk through the gate with your baggage. Easy. If you need help, we are always around, and we’ll be glad to help.

It far better and quicker that the overcrowded airport!

If you are under 26 years old you can have a special fare, it start from 49GBP return.

if you are an adult over 26, fares start also from 59GBP return, must be book a long time before departure for availibility.

These tickets are fixed. NON EXCHANGEABLE/NON REFUNDABLE.

If you turn up at the last minute, the fares will be very high, as now Eurostar trains are very busy, the fare you want might not be available (ie youth fare, or Rail Pass holder fare). Some time only fare is available, it is 309.00 return (flexible tickets.)

On Busy days like Fridays some trains are overbooked, so please booked in advance it will save you grief and a lot of hassle.

Eurostar are very comfy, if you travel Leisure Select (first class) a meal will be included, start from 109.00GBP (week-end day return)

Passing through security will be like at an airport, you are allowed to bring bottle of water, but not opened containers (ie starbucks cups of coffee!)

You must hold a valid passport (including visa if neccessary)

To gain time you can even buy a Paris Metro Ticket after check in at the information desk, they sell a carmet or one day Paris Visite Card.
