What is Snap Eurostar?

The Snap Eurostar service was relaunched by Eurostar on October 17, 2024.

The Snap Eurostar service - offered by Eurostar - allows you to travel between London St Pancras and Paris Gare du Nord, Lille Europe, or Brussels-Midi at a lower cost: on average £60 for a round trip.

The only condition: be flexible with your departure times. Indeed, this service allows Eurostar to improve the occupancy of its trains, so your schedule and seat in the train are communicated to you only 48 hours before departure.

How to book a ticket?

  1. Log in to the Snap Eurostar site via your Facebook, Google, Twitter, or Eurostar account.
  2. Choose your origin/destination (one-way or round trip), as well as the number of passengers included in the booking.
    1. A booking is for a maximum of 4 travelers (over 16 years old), who will all travel on the same train - but not necessarily in the same carriage!
  3. Select your departure date, and indicate whether you wish to leave in the morning or afternoon.
    1. You can book Snap Eurostar tickets up to a month - and as little as 7 days - before your departure date. Morning trains run between 5 am and 12 pm, afternoon trains between 12 pm and 11 pm.
  4. Confirm your booking and keep your confirmation email safe.
    1. If you encounter any issues, do not hesitate to contact the Eurostar teams for the Snap Eurostar service via their Facebook and/or Twitter accounts!
  5. 48 hours before your departure, you will receive your train schedule by email. You can choose to print your tickets or receive them by email to have them directly on your phone.

The Snap Eurostar service only offers tickets in "Standard" class - these tickets are non-exchangeable, non-refundable, non-modifiable.
