What is the good website to book eurostar ticket?
I need to book a seat from London to Amsterdam. On http://www.eurostar.com, I could select only till Brussels. How to chose connection from Brussels to Amsterdam? Is there a eurostar train from Brussels to Amsterdam ?
Is the “Non Flexible“ type good for me as I am taking 1 way ticket?
Thank you
Eurostar does not go to Amsterdam.
Have you looked at cheap flights ? They can be had pretty cheap,, try looking at Easyjet and Ryanair.. there are quite a few more though.
From Brussels to Amsterdam simply take the regular inter-city trains. There is at least one train an hour and advance reservations are not necessary- or possible. Fares are about 30 euros. But if you don't want to spend a few hours sightseeing Brussels,flying might be a better choice. Like Easyjet via Gatwick.
Do you know if easyjet can be booked on American credit cards? I have been warned before against it
US cards work fine on the Easyjet site.
"Non flexible" means that your ticket is only good for a specific date and departure time. It is non-exchangeable.
One more choice for London-Amsterdam is train-ferry-train. If you take the overnight ferry, you save the cost of one night in a hotel. See here.
If you buy the ticket off of nshighspeed.nl the Eurostar ticket is good for the route London to Amsterdam (or any other city in the Netherlands).
From the website:
"Seven times per day, Eurostar brings you to London. You can now buy a return ticket for as little as € 99,-! A Eurostar ticket is valid from any station in the Netherlands."
The one way tickets are around 50 euros when bought in advance and that includes the Brussels-Amsterdam ticket.
You only have to choose a connection time from Brussels to Amsterdam if you are taking Thalys. Plan on taking one of the inter regional train and you can hop on one of the hourly trains.
Do you have experience with London-Amsterdam "train-ferry-train"? Where do we book from? site says ticekts can only be delivered to London address.
Kavita,
You can book over the phone. Here's a quote from the site:
"If you're from overseas (USA, Canada, Australia etc) then you cannot book online unless you have a suitable UK address to which tickets can be sent. But you can book by telephone with National Express East Anglia (the UK train operator involved in this service) on +44 870 40 90 90, and ask to pick up your tickets at Liverpool Street station. If this number doesn't work, try +44 1603 214 505, which is Customer Services, ask to be put through to their telesales department. Lines are open 08:00-22:00 Monday-Friday, 09:00-18:00 Saturday & Sunday, UK time."
