Eurostar should not be confused with Eurotunnel, as they both “The Chunnel”, Eurostar is a passenger only train, where as Eurotunnel also shuttles vehicles, passengers, and other cargo. Eurostar reaches speeds reaching up to 186 miles an hour, and still manages to provide luxury and comfort for everyone on board the train. If you get hungry or need to do any of your office work while you are on the train, they are able to meet your specific needs. Depending on your class of ticket you may receive a three course hot or cold meal, receive access to the buffet car, or you can even bring your own meal onto the train.

Eurostar’s website offers tickets starting as low as $116 one-way; however, other websites may offer even lower rates. Purchasing of a rail pass does not cover your fare on Eurostar, however it will get you a special discounted rate. As with most travel situations, you can save time and money by purchasing your ticket online. During the peak months, Eurostar has a pre-booking window of four months, but during off-season they extended the pre-booking as far out as nine months in advance. Many website have special bundle deals for traveling with Eurostar, but you need to make sure that you are aware of any additional fee that may be incurred if your plans change.

Special offers by airlines may appear to be cheaper than going on Eurostar between London and Paris. However, airport taxes can be in excess of 15%, and that is not including extra travel time to get to the city centers. Brussels, Disneyland Paris, and the French Alps are all part of the Eurostar line, along with almost 100 other destinations and transfer points.

When the need arises for commuting, taking a vacation, or even if you just want to go shopping for a day Eurostar can meet your needs. Their convenience, affordability, service, and speed speak for themselves.
