Tips for traveling aboard the Eurostar
- Consider travelling off-peak or during mid-afternoons for fewer crowds and a more relaxed atmosphere.
- Book your seat reservations 4 to 6 weeks in advance if you’re traveling with an Interrail or Eurail Pass, as pass-holder quotas can fill up pretty quickly, especially during peak season.
- Reserve a window seat if you love watching the scenery pass by. You will have the best view of fields, villages, and the entrance to the Channel Tunnel.
- Pack a lightweight bag. While you’re allowed two large items plus one hand luggage, make sure you pack what you need so that handling your baggage is a smoother experience.
- Bring a light jacket or scarf as the coaches can get pretty cold during your 2-hour journey.
