Plan your trip
Eurostar trains
Upon booking, clients can select their preferred seat from Eurostar’s seating plan. Our seating plan provides the onboard location of tables, toilets and the Eurostar Café, allowing customers to choose their seats accordingly. Please note that the seat selection option is only valid on routes to/from London.
Now that Eurostar and Thalys have joined forces under the Eurostar name, we’re making some changes to our travel classes. From 4 November, our current classes are becoming Eurostar Standard, Eurostar Plus and Eurostar Premier.
