Eurostar offering flash sale to Christmas markets - how to get cheap tickets
Virgin to challenge Eurostar’s monopoly with Channel Tunnel services
Eurostar has launched a flash sale offering 25% off thousands of seats on routes from London to Paris, Lille, Brussels, Amsterdam and Rotterdam.
Fares are available from as little as £29 each way, enabling passengers to book budget trips to European Christmas markets.
The sale ends tomorrow, Thursday 6 November, and is valid for travel between 24 November 2025 and 11 March 2026.
The discount applies automatically to adult tickets in Eurostar Standard and Eurostar Plus classes, though some blackout dates and exclusions for child, youth, or senior tickets apply.
Separately, Virgin Trains will soon be able to operate passenger services through the Channel Tunnel, challenging Eurostar's long-standing monopoly, with services expected to begin in 2030.
