I travelled to London last weekend. Unexpected. Left on Sunday morning to come back on Monday night.

So, the day before, Saturday, I checked the prices online at Eurostar, expecting it to be insanely expensive. But hey, a trip to see my partner is worth it...

Much to my surprise, I found a rate for 160 euro, return ticket in first class, or Leisure Select.

Not too bad eh? Especially not when you book it 12 hrs before departure! And I must say I do like the service on board the Eurostar.

If you can travel to London at 80 euros for a return in standard class, go for it! But if you know you won't have time for dinner like when you are travelling in the evening or late afternoon, well then by all means, it is worth checking out the Leisure select rate.

Free champagne, a small but good dinner, wine, beverages...

Guess what, the girl at the travel agency, didn't know that sometimes first class tickets for Eurostar can be cheaper than standard tickets...

I love Eurostar.
For me, living in Brugge, it does mean an extra hour on the train to Brussels-Zuid but it is worth it. 1h51 later and you are in the center of London.

Euro-u are a-star!
