IMPORTANT REMINDER

Printed tickets are no longer considered FLWN. Where an e-ticket shows OPEN status, a revalidation and reissue can be processed on Amadeus. Alternatively, the traveller can exchange their ticket at the ticket office, or for a free exchange they can use the e-ticket machines.

When changes are made by eurostar4agents these are not reflected back into your GDS. Please do not add in any GK or PK sectors as this causes the booking to corrupt.  If you need to have a note in the booking of the change, just enter these as a remark.
