Eurostar launches January flash sale with £35 tickets to five cities in Europe
EUROSTAR has released its cheapest £35 train tickets in its latest sale.
The international train operator connects the UK to a number of destinations in France, Belgium and the Netherlands.
And their latest January sale has release tickets for just £35 each way, the cheapest they ever go.
Sometimes hitting hundreds of pounds, the discounted fares are on sale until next week.
The London to Paris route has the cheap fares if travelling between the dates of January 14 and April 3.
The dates also work for trips from the UK to both Lille and Brussels.
If wanting to head to the Netherlands, you have a slightly smaller window for booking £35 tickets.
London to either Amsterdam or Rotterdam is the cheapest when travelling between January 14 and March 28.
Brits will have to change trains, however, if heading to the Netherlands before February 10 due to ongoing works.
The sale lasts until January 9, although the cheap tickets are often limited to are likely to sell out before then.
One-way tickets on its trains are selling for just £35.
And there is a small catch, with some Friday-Sunday dates not included in the offer, being the busier route for Brits wanting an easy weekend break abroad.
And for a number of dates from now until March, no trains will run from the UK to the Netherlands so passengers are urged to check ahead before planning a trip.
However, if you can get away in the week you could go to Europe for just £70 return without having to hop on a plane.
There are no strict hand luggage restrictions either, so you can bring a suitcase with you, without extra costs.
Any liquids (or bottles of wine from France) can also come back with you without having to follow the 100ml rule.
If you can’t decide on where to go, the Sun’s Head of Travel Caroline McGuire has revealed why she loves Paris.
