How to Find Eurostar Deals for London to Paris by Train

Number 3 is crucial:

Decide if you want to book a hotel and Eurostar deal or just rail tickets.

but they don’t go into any details yet about how you would decide whether to book the eurostar tickets on their own or combine it with a hotel package. I suppose that’s because it depends on individual circumstances, and how comfortable you are with making a reservation either on the spot or by making an international telephone call in advance.

The cheaper seats become available three months before departure date and sell out fairly quickly.

This is gold standard information. I’m not sure if it’s exactly three calendar months or ninety days but it’s around that time that the best eurostar deals become available for pre-booking and yes, they do sell out fast but that doesn’t mean you can’t get reasonable deals for other periods of advance booking.

You will definitely need a passport.

That’s a fair warning but not strictly true. If you are a French National travelling from the UK into France then you can do so with a French National Identity Card, but to be fair the How-To is aimed at British nationals visiting France so yes, you do need your passport. Who would think of going abroad without one? Exept to Ireland I suppose, but even then if you are boarding an internal flight you still need an official photo ID and for British nationals that’s a passport.

Good luck with the Eurostar Deals FAQ.
