Fancy a budget-friendly break as the spring sun comes out? If you’re happy to jump on a train and head to one of Europe’s most popular cities, you might be in luck.
Eurostar has launched a flash sale – with tickets for just £35 to some of its most visited destinations.
From today until April 13, you can book cheap seats on board services to Paris, Lille, Brussels, Amsterdam and Rotterdam.
All you need to do is book to travel from London between 22 April and 8 July 2026.
No codes are required – the low price will be applied automatically.
But you’ll have to be quick – as the sale ends in less than a week.
And if you book a two-way journey on valid dates, the whole trip could set you back just £70 – far less than standard Eurostar prices on many occasions.
For example, one-way tickets to Paris can easily go up to £190 under ordinary circumstances.
Eurostar is now offering £35 tickets across some of its much-loved routes
If you want to head further afield on the Eurostar network, for instance to Cologne, you’d have to take a connecting train – not included in the promotion.
Some dates do not apply to the sale, including some Fridays and weekends – so be sure to confirm your dates of travel are valid.
It’s not the only way to get cheaper Eurostar tickets, either.
With Eurostar Snap, you can ensure you get lower prices – with fares discounted by up to 50 per cent.
Designed for those who thrive on spur-of-the-moment adventures, Snap offers a way to enjoy Eurostar’s high-speed rail journeys for less.
All you need to do is choose your destination and travel dates and pay for your seats – you don’t get to select your exact train time.
Eurostar will send your train times by email at least 48 hours before your trip.
You can book Snap seats up to 14 days before travel, or as late as the day before.
It should be noted that Snap tickets are non-exchangeable, non-refundable, non-transferable and non-cancellable.
It comes after it was last year revealed that a fleet of double-decker trains will operate in the UK for the first time.
Eurostar will purchase up to 50 two-storey trains for use across its entire network, which includes between London St Pancras and Paris, Brussels and Amsterdam via the Channel Tunnel.
It reached a £1.7billion agreement for Alstom to build the trains in factories in France, where the manufacturer has its headquarters.
Eurostar has confirmed an initial order for 30 trains, and has an option for a further 20.
The fully electric fleet will be named Eurostar Celestia, which is derived from the Latin word caelestis, meaning ‘heavenly’.
Compared with the operator’s existing fleet of 17 single-decker Siemens-built e320s, the new trains will have 20 per cent more seats, a lower floor and be 16cm taller.
