    Eurostar offers 3 classes of services: Standard, Standard Premier and Business Premier. All comfortable but different conditions, and prices for each of them.
    Is best to get to the check-in area at least 1 hour prior departure time.

    one of my favourite places in London and not just because I usually stay within a 5-10 minute walk from this station - such an easy jumping off point with the library and British museum nearby, but also Camden and its markets, great pubs and restaurants, and easy to get on the tube with.a few lines connecting at Kings Cross. Hoping to get back to London in December after a sojourn across the Pacific to Japan in September - please keep up the great content and inspiring us all to visit the greatest city on the planet

    I was on 7:01 train on the 10th March, I totally agree train to Paris is so much easier and convenient than plane. Scan the ticket, security check, passport control and to the train only took me 25 mins.
    Start my journey from Leicester 4:39 EMT to St Pancras arrived 6:20 and just so convenient. Staff was very helpful and train was clean, great experience overall. Same day back picking up my motorcycle near Paris via Euro tunnel Le Shuttle from Calais and 35 mins later back to England.

    Just took the 10:22 this past Sunday for the first time. I arrived at St. Pancras far too early. Good to note there is a small sign that informs you when to queue. They wont let you line up early to get through the passport checkpoint (I tried and failed). Watching for the sign with your departure time on it is key. They will not depart until everyone is on the train, so no need to sweat security. They will expedite your passage through security if you are running late. I watched as they aided a few people who were scheduled to depart on the train before mine. (Thanks for the vids. They were quite useful during my stay in London. Heading back there this week. Have to find me a wifey, job, Irish passport or any combination of the three so I can stay. I like me some London. Gotta get out of SCAMerica.)

    Couple of add-on suggestions - listen to folks playing the piano in the departure lounge before passport control (or try yourself !). If St Pancras Renaissance is too expensive, the Premier Inn St Pancras is literally across the road, the air con works (!) and convenient to drop bags if arriving early or leaving late. Also (unlike many other rail fares) return tickets in Eurostar are cheaper than 2 singles.

      @@alexmcwhirter6611 Actually a discount is applied to both tickets if you buy both at the same time, which is a weird way of doing a "return" fare but that's what they do. If you go on Eurostar and test it out, you'll see a return is usually about £20 cheaper overall!

      @alexmcwhirter6611 Před rokem

      @@jamiestone1809 OK. I wasn't aware. What must be noted is that Eurostar considers itself more as a (reputable) airline rather than a humble train firm. Hence the product it offers differs from that of regular train firms. Now that Eurostar has merged with Thalys it remains to be seen if any changes will be made to either firms' product.

    Hi Jess. Thanks for a great video. Quick question, how safe is to leave the luggage at the designated area, I’m afraid that someone may pick up before me upon arrival. Thanks again.

    On my very first visit to the UK in 2014 whilst in London I decided to pop over to Paris for the day, as I thought I may never have another opportunity to see to Paris. (I have since been a number of times) The Eurostar was super simple - centre of London to centre of Paris. Left St Pancras about 0630 and returned from Gard Du Nord about 2030. A couple of years later I did the same with a day trip to Brussels.
    I have since been on the Eurostar a number of times. One tip: pre-purchase your economy ticket online well in advance to get the cheapest price - then on the day of travel ask person in charge on the train about the cost of an upgrade to business. The ticket cost was money spent before your holiday and so the upgrade cost is the only cost on your holiday. I have been lucky with the upgrade cost being not much more than it would cost to buy food on the train.

      I want to try this
      since Business Premier would cost us $1200 more than standard to purchase outright but Eurostar says on their website that they are unable to upgrade to Business Premier at the ticket office in their FAQ :(

    • @aussiebloke51
      @aussiebloke51 Před 4 měsíci +1

      @@jmxtwiztid1 Sorry!! I made a mistake. My upgrade was from Standard to Standard Premier - not to Business. It was still a good upgrade as it included food and more space. The principle of having paid for the original seat months before leaving home and only a small cost from one's holiday money still holds true. Business is still out of my reach costwise!

      @aussiebloke51 no worries, I appreciate the info as it helps us who are looking to book for the first time. It's $400 round trip for us to upgrade to Standard Premier but now we might just book standard and try our luck at the gate. Thank you!

    Hello! Just recently found your page as I'm trying to plan a 17 day trip to London and thinking about making a quick trip to Paris. How is Eurostar in terms of luggage safety? Is that something to be worried about? I will for sure have a 23kg luggage with me. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

    • @loveandlondon

    Hey once again! Thank you for a very cool video! Part of my upcoming travel plan to Europe is to travel on the Eurostar from London to Paris so it's so cool that you showcased this method of travel from city to city! I'm more excited I think to ride the train than to fly LOL. When you get to Paris, do you have to go through customs or passport check again or is that taken care of in London and vice versa? Thank you for another great video and I enjoy your vey informative e-mails as well!!! Be safe and Cheers!

      Hey! It depends, sometimes it's 10 mins, sometimes it's 45. Honestly if you're going to do Paris do at least overnight, one day is 5+ hours on the train plus time at the station/immigration so it's not really worth it, as Paris is big and you'll not get to see very much.
