  One minor issue with booking Eurostar tickets on Uber is that IME it does not permit mixed class journeys. This can be frustrating where the price differential from Standard to Plus on one leg is small.

  • mkcol says:

    Can’t you book 2 one way journeys then?

    • Rob says:

      13 Nov13 November 23:45

      Eurostar adds a 15% or so premium if you book two one-ways rather than a return. I have no idea why they do this.

        Bonkers!

  10% off for Trip up to £30 has popped up on a couple of my Amex cards today.

  Trip.com – not to be an alarmist, but if you ever were to read a privacy policy, that’d be the one I’d suggest reading

  • Shanghaiguizi says:

    Agreed blairwaldorf. Chinese run and on a long list of malignant apps and services that I’ll never use or download to any device (TikTok, WeChat, etc)

    • Damian says:

      Trip is Singapore based.

      • shanghaiguizi says:

        trip.com is Chinese owned and controlled. Their registered head office location is irrelevant. Same with Tiktok and parent company ByteDance.

        As blairwaldorf highlighted, read the ToC for such apps. If you’re comfortable giving them all your data and often a backdoor into other apps crack on my friend.

          They also own Edinburgh based Skyscanner

      You’re aware that your air fryer records your phone calls? https://www.which.co.uk/policy-and-insight/article/why-is-my-air-fryer-spying-on-me-which-reveals-the-smart-devices-gathering-your-data-and-where-they-send-it-a9Fa24K6gY1c

      • George says:

        No, my air fryer doesn’t record my phone calls

          No wonder my air fryer broke then. If it was listening to my mum go on about the building work next door to them ad nauseam it probably committed suicide.

    While I dont disagree, what is it in particular thats worse with their policy than others?

    • Shanghaiguizi says:

      13 Nov13 November 13:43

      It’s CCP provenance

  Is Eurostar premier still completely flexible? So with this sale could one just book a speculative ticket for a future date and change as and when one needed to travel.

  • Rich says:

    13 Nov13 November 08:17

    You don’t pay any change fee on any fare now. But you have to pay the fare difference – even in Premier.

  • Alex says:

    13 Nov13 November 11:24

    It’s not a flat price so that you can change endlessly anymore, there are small differences to entice people to travel on the first/last trains for example. You pay the price difference if the new one is more expensive, but you get nothing back if you go for a cheaper one.

  Bagged a £116 return to Paris for a midweek day trip. Booked via Uber, hoping to get the Uber credit.
  Not too bad

  • Alex says:

    13 Nov13 November 11:22

    It took about a month after travel for it to appear for me, but it worked without chasing.

    • Can2 says:

      13 Nov13 November 12:37

      Good enough

• Ash says:

  13 Nov13 November 09:04

  Sale?? Economy is more expensive than it was being advertised last month, on a positive some of the higher class fares are down with the odd cheaper than economy at the same time.

  • RussellH says:

    13 Nov13 November 10:04

    Depends on your dates, I suppose.
    I booked standard for early Feb some weeks ago at £39 each way to Bruxelles.
    Yesterday showing at £27.

    • Danny says:

      13 Nov13 November 10:30

      Good luck with Brussels in early Feb lol

  • Rich says:

    13 Nov13 November 11:14

    Which dates?

    The few fares that I checked have definitely come down by 30% since before the sale. Wide availability at £52 return, which is never seen outside sales.

    Base prices may well have gone up in the last month though

• BA Flyer IHG Stayer says:

  “Remember that Amsterdam and Rotterdam currently require a change of train at Brussels Midi due to engineering work in Amsterdam.”

  Only on the return (and that will change from Feb 10th

  The outbound wasn’t affected by the works at Centraal

  • modestpointscollector says:

    13 Nov13 November 18:36

    I think i’ve broken the site i was looking for random dates in Feb, March and May and there isn’t a single service without a change ont he way out.

    • Rob says:

      It is back to direct from 9th February, this is already announced although tickets are not on sale yet.
