Hello everyone! 

 

I need some urgent help. I have a Eurail pass, and I need to travel from London to Paris on 31 May. 
I cannot seem to get a seat reservation for my husband and I. 

How can I get a seat reservation? If i were to show up at the Eurostar counters on 27 May when I land in London, can I go to the counter and get a seat reserved since I am unable to pre-book online? 

 

Thank you for your help in advance!

Eurostar has a limited quota and it can sell out weeks in advance. No, you can't buy seats at St. Pancras. No availability on the direct trains so here are your options :

- London - Brussels 06:16 - 09:12 30€

- spend a few hours in Brussels

- Brussels - Paris afternoon train 27€ OR

- Brussels - Lille reservation-free IC trains + TGV to Paris (10-20€) OR fully reservation-free via Maubeuge (a bit longer)

Option 2 :

- London - Lille 19:34 - 22:00 (either 30th or 31st May)

- night in Lille, the next morning train to Paris

Option 3 :

- Flixbus or plane (not recommended)

Option 4 :

- a regular ticket for 250€ (for the few non-sold out trains)

In any case book ASAP.
