It’s here! The latest Eurostar flash sale – meaning you can bag yourself tickets to Paris, Lille, Brussels, Rotterdam and Amsterdam for just £35 each. We’ve even found a hack that means you’ll recoup an extra 10% back as well!
What is The Eurostar Flash Sale?
The Eurostar sale rolls around a few times a year. So, when a flash sale happens, it’s good to jump on it before all the cheap seats get snapped up!
The offer during the flash sale varies. Sometimes it’s 30% off adult tickets, and sometimes it’s seats for £35 each way.
Destinations include Paris, Lille and Brussels, and sometimes Amsterdam and Rotterdam too. To get the offer, you may have to book a return ticket (rather than one way).
The sale is only valid for between specific dates. Depending on the route there are some dates you wont be able to travel on, you can check those dates on the Eurostar page.
It’s first come first served, but it’s a great way to bag a bargain trip if you’re quick!

How do I find seats in the Eurostar flash sale?
The good news is that it’s very easy to spot these cheap fares. Eurostar have created a very helpful price calendar that clearly shows when you can bag the cheapest price.
All you need to do is head to this page and scroll through the calendars to find the best prices in the Eurostar flash sale.
Remember: you may need to book a return journey to be eligible for the cheaper fare!
Can You Use Your Railcard on a Eurostar Train?
Unfortunately, you won’t be able to use your Railcard on the Eurostar as the journey takes you out of the UK. However, it is possible to travel on Eurostar using an Interrail card, though you will still have to pay to reserve a seat for £27.50 each way. So after factoring in the price of your pass, this Eurostar flash sale is a pretty good deal!
However, if you do need to get a train to London first, you should definitely take a look at what Railcard works best for you.
Other ways to save on Eurostar travel
Uber
Uber were offering customers 10% back in Uber credits on train, coach, Eurostar, and car hire bookings. This meant that if you book your Eurostar ticket through the Uber app, they would give you 10% of what you spend back to use on other bookings within the app.
However, the terms of this deal say it finished on 31 December 2024 but it is still showing in the Uber app… We’re going to do some asking around, but if it’s the same price as booking direct, it may be worth a punt.
Just remember, your Uber Credits will expire 180 days from the date of issue.
Eurostar Snap
In 2024 Eurostar brought back Eurostar Snap, their offer on last-minute bookings.
With Eurostar Snap you get a discounted fare for last minute trains – you can get up to 50% off the price of your train. However, whilst you can choose your departure date and destination, you won’t know what specific train you’re on until 48 hours before departure!
This means the offer won’t work for everyone – it’s designed to help Eurostar fill seats that would otherwise go unsold. But if you’re flexible on travel time, it’s another way to bag a cheaper ticket.
