Outside of sale periods, you can get discounted train tickets through Eurostar Snap – as long as you don’t need to travel at a specific time.
There are lots of things to love about the Eurostar. There’s no time wasted at the airport, it’s a more eco-friendly way to travel, and at the end you find yourself right in the centre of your destination city.
Thankfully, Eurostar is here with another flash sale with tickets starting from €25. Discounted tickets are available for travel between 22 April and 8 July, but you’ll need to book before 11:59 pm CET on 13 April.
Destinations available to book include London, Lille, Paris, Brussels, Rotterdam, Amsterdam and Cologne.
There are blackout dates for travel between some cities, which you can find on the Eurostar website.
How to get discounted Eurostar tickets year-round
If you’re flexible about when you travel, you can get a bargain Eurostar ticket even outside of sale periods.
Unlike flights, where Friday is the cheapest day to fly, Tuesday and Wednesday offer the cheapest fares on Eurostar.
If you don’t have a specific time that you need to travel, Eurostar Snap can make your trip even cheaper, with up to 50% off tickets.
Only available to book up to two weeks in advance, you simply select the date you want to travel and choose between a morning to early afternoon train, or a later afternoon to evening train.
Then, two days before you’re due to travel, you’ll be sent details about which train you’ve been booked onto.
The only thing to be aware of is that Eurostar Snap tickets are non-exchangeable, non-refundable and non-transferable – but if you’re booking that last-minute, you wouldn’t expect your travel plans to change anyway.
