Things to remember!

  • Ideally use specific station codes when checking availability. If a train does not appear as expected, use MD (move down) to check later availability. For Lon-Par and Lon-Bru availability, always check station codes to ensure you do not book Ebbsfleet instead of St Pancras!                                 
  • Use your Amadeus ‘encode’ or ‘decode’ command to check station codes.
  • Do not book multiple sectors
  • If your passenger requires a fixed ticket out and a flexible ticket on the return these must be booked in seperate PNR's.
  • Combining Eurostar and Air/Hotels - please e-ticket and price separately.
  • You can not book between Lille and Brussels.

Open jaws

Open jaws are not supported.

  • For journeys that involve St Pancras / Ebbsfleet / Ashford combinations, book a return ticket to St Pancras and ensure train stops at required station.
  • For journeys out to one destination and back from another, e.g. London - Paris / Brussels - London a combination of one ways will be required in seperate PNR's.

Multiple passenger bookings

  • All ticket numbers must be finalised before ending the transaction. In order to ensure this happens, use the pricing entry FXP/P1-3 to create one TST for all passengers.
  • Enter only one form of payment to enable e-tickets to be issued correctly, also ensusre that form of payment is not passenger related.
