Eurostar

Hello- We will be in Paris on 5/13- 5/18th for our Honeymoon. We are seriously thinking about a london dy and night on Fri 5/15 back in Paris on Sun 5/17th- should we book the Eurostar from US online or wait till we get there- is it cheaper?

Nice, another train question. I have only done this once, and it was booked in advance. Think about the most you would save. Is it enough to risk not making the trip?

Congrats on your upcoming wedding. I will be in Paris May 31st until June 4th. I purchased my Eurostar tickets on the first day that they where available. From what I understand, the cheapest tickets go first. I personally would not wait.

As you%26#39;ve only a couple of months to go, don%26#39;t waste any time buying the Eurostar tickets. If the cheapest seats haven%26#39;t already gone they will very soon.

Definitely book as early as possible, especially for travel on Fridays and Sundays. Currently there are a few services still at the basic price (about $80 round trip) for the dates you want departing Paris early afternoon Friday 05/15 returning Sunday late morning 05/17. If you want to return on Sunday evening price will be around $50 higher.

Above is a good price for city centre / centre travel and there are no baggage weight restrictions or surcharges. If you wait until day of travel price will probably be around $400 round trip.

Some people actually do London as a day trip, which might be an option, considering you only have 5 days in Paris. Then you could leave your luggage at the hotel and not have to cart it to London and back.

Personaly, I think either way it is going to be rushed. I would just stay in Paris for the 5 days. There is so much to see and do. It is a very romantic city. And you are going to be jet lagged the first couple of days. Are you leaving the U.S. on the 12th? If you are leaving on the 13th, then you probably won%26#39;t arrive in Paris until the 14th.

Whatever you decide, it is cheaper to buy your tickets in advance. Clear you cookies, go to www.eurostar.com, log in as being a resident of the U.K. Check the prices and then compare them with what you were seeing before. It is usually cheaper. A return ticket should be about 58 Pounds ($81 U.S.) You can pick up your tickets at the train station (Gare du Nord).

Congratulations on your upcoming marriage, and have a great honeymoon!
