TGV tickets now available into early October

I've been checking Captain Train for days, and today for the first time I was able to book online my TGV ticket, Paris to Barcelona. Since I like my comfort, and the trip is about 6 hours, I splurged on 1st class for 109E (about $123 USD). That's a semi-flexible ticket so I have some room to maneuver if necessary. There are cheaper fares available as well, if you want second class without any flexibility I believe that was 49E.

I was quite surprised actually to see the October dates come online so early (I booked for an Oct. 9 departure from Paris). I fully expected to have to wait another 3 weeks at minimum for early October booking.

Thanks for the news, Debbie. It doesn't seem to be a hard-and-fast rule whether tickets are released 3, 4, or even more months ahead of the departure date. It depends partly on the route and maybe partly on the season (e.g, some summer TGV tickets were released back in January or February).
