Eurostar with 1st class pass - advantages?


Mick Allen

Are there any advantages buying a 1st class pass regarding coming back to the UK on Eurostar?  I’ve seen that using the standard pass only gives you access to certain tickets, which once they’re gone, they’re gone.  How does that work with a 1st class pass?

it works the same. the only benefit is that you can use with an first class pass also Standard Premier Class of Eurostar for 38€. This means more seats that you can use. With an 1st class pass, you are allowed also to use 2nd class (on Eurostar: Standard, reservation 30€ London-Paris/Brussel and 25€ from/to Amsterdam)

Same-but with another type of accomodation=more luxury., and more to pay for it also If that makes it more easy to get or even harder I have no idea-you can check it for yourself on b-rail or b-europe. ue google to find link-or scan here for that of anna B fra Sverige.

There is a limited number of pass holder seats on the Eurostar and on popular departures and during high season those sell out weeks, and sometimes months in advance.

The best place to see the availability of passholder seats on the Eurostar is 

https://www.b-europe.com/EN/Booking/Pass#TravelWish

Press "later trains" and eventually you will find the next available connection. 

 

If you have a mobile pass you need to generate a Pass Cover Number in order to make the reservation at b-europe. You do that here in the PCN generator:
