Eurostar usually runs flash sales a couple of times a year – we’ve got the low down on when they’re likely to happen and the kind of offers you can expect.
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 20% off adult tickets, and sometimes it’s seats for £39 one way.
Destinations usually include Paris, Lille and Brussels, and sometimes Amsterdam and Rotterdam too. To get the offer, you may have to either book a one-way ticket or a return.
The sale is only valid for between specific dates. Depending on the route there could be some dates you won’t 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!
Is there a Eurostar flash sale at the moment?
There’s no Eurostar flash sale happening right now, but when they do take place, you’ll be able to find all the info on this page.
To give you an idea, their last sale – which ran in June 2025 – let travellers bag 20% off one-way tickets on the below routes:
Right now there’s a Eurostar flash sale running, with 50% off one way fares when booking Eurostar Plus or Eurostar Premier to the below destinations:
- London > Paris
- London > Lille
- London > Brussels
- London > Amsterdam
- London > Rotterdam
50% off Eurostar one way in Plus or Premier
How long is the Eurostar flash sale running for?
This sale ends 13 July at 22:59.
Now, this sale ran on one-way tickets only – but it also ran on each of the Eurostar local sites for the UK, France, Belgium and the Netherlands.
So – travellers could get 20% off their journey back, if they booked a one-way ticket from Paris, Lille, Brussels, Amsterdam or Rotterdam back to London. They just had to use the local site (you can switch the language to English, so it’s pretty straightforward).
What dates can I book in the flash sale?
The sale tickets are valid for travel from London between 28 July and 23 September 2026.
The sale is usually valid for travel across a few months, and is subject to availability.
Depending on the route, there’ll probably be some dates you wont be able to travel on, which Eurostar will share on this page.
How do I find seats in the Eurostar flash sale?
The good news is that, when there is a sale running, it’s easy to spot the 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.
Some dates are excluded from the sale, scroll down the page on the Eurostar and you’ll find them all listed there.
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 offers customers 10% back in Uber credits on train, coach, Eurostar, and car hire bookings. This means that if you book your Eurostar ticket through the Uber app, they give you 10% of what you spend back to use on other bookings within the app.
Just remember, your Uber Credits will expire 180 days from the date of issue.
You can also earn Avios points on each train trip if you book through Uber, you just need to link your British Airways Club account to your Uber one.
Eurostar Snap
Eurostar Snap is Eurostar’s 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.
