10 Good Reasons to Travel Eurostar:

Speed

Eurostar travels at a speed of up to 186 miles per hour, this means travelling from the centre of London to the heart of Paris in just 2 h 15 min. In that time frame, air travellers will have just arrived at the airport, checked in and will start boarding their flight.

Convenience

Eurostar travellers avoid airport to city centre long and costly transfers as they arrive at the very heart of their destination. Both London Heathrow and Paris Charles de Gaulle are located about 16 miles outside the city centre and we all know airport transfers can be pretty expensive.

Environmentally Friendly

Over the last ten years Eurostar has carried more than 75 million travellers. If these people had chosen to fly rather than take Eurostar, the short-haul airlines would have had to fly more than 400,000 carbon dioxide producing planes! All Eurostar trains and terminals are non-smoking. Read more on our environmental initiative…

Ease

Travellers with little baggage, like day trippers, can check in with Eurostar in only 30 minutes (and Business Premier fast track is even quicker)! Airline check-ins vary from 1-2 hours for international flights with added security measures being implemented. Beat the lines, skip the airports.

Punctuality

Eurostar's on-time performance averages at 91% comparing favourably against airlines on the route.

Availability

Each 18 car train carries up to 750 passengers - double the capacity of a Boeing 747. With up to 16 departures a day, that means over 10,000 seats to Paris daily; with a time and price to suit everyone's needs.

Awarding Winning Service

Eurostar has been voted best rail service in the world at the World Travel Awards for the last eight years.

Dedicated Travel Classes

Never before have short haul journeys been so pleasurable. Travel Leisure Select and enjoy a three course meal and wine served at your seat, included in the price of your ticket. Beats a pack of peanuts on the plane any day.

Freedom to Enjoy

Travelling Eurostar is an experience in itself, from appreciating the views of the landscape to getting up to stretch your legs and meeting fellow travellers. Eurostar wants travellers to enjoy their journey as much as their destination.

Value for Money

Eurostar fares are all inclusive of taxes and you don't need to add airport transfers on to the Eurostar price either, that's value for money!
