Cheap(er) Eurostar tickets
July 15, 2011 4 Comments
I often travel between London and Brussels and it’s become noticeably harder to find the cheaper priced tickets over the last few years. But here’s a trick…
Rather than booking through www.eurostar.com, book instead through www.bahn.de. Select London St Pancras as either the destination or origin accordingly, and then for the other station select Aachen which is the closest German station to Belgium. The ticket can be downloaded online, so there’s no need to be in Germany at any point, just start/end your journey at Brussels Midi as normal.
The difference? I’ve just bought a refundable ticket for €69 for Sunday for a train that is priced at €200 on the eurostar website.

Wonderful tip on trip hacking. I am visiting the Europe in the fall and will add this to my trip planning. I love it when you can find a way to shave a few bucks on travel.
Their price is surprisingly lower. You are great!
Oh thank you so much for sharing this tip! I will be visiting a friend in London and this tip will matter a lot. I can save some money and still enjoy my vacation.
