Do Eurostar/TGV prices increase during school holidays?
We're considering going from the UK to the South of France via Eurostar in August.
On their website, only travel until April is available. The prices for that are reasonable (as are air fares in April).
Do Eurostar/TGV prices increase in school holidays, as flights do?
Best Answer
Yes, of course, the prices are increasing during busy periods. So you can expect higher prices during the week ends of beginning/end of holidays. This is the magic economic effect of the offer vs the demand. Higher demand means allows them to increase the price...
This is the same of hotels and flights as you have seen...
Still, if you book in advance, the price difference with non busy periods won't be too significant.

Do Eurostar prices change daily?
Price won't go down. Prices go up when the seats at the price you see now get sold. Eurostar tickets actually go on sale 6 months in advance when the cheapest tickets become available (a lot cheaper than \u20ac84, however much that is in \xa3 !!!)What time do Eurostar tickets go on sale?
According to the rail advice website The Man in Seat 61, the cheapest tickets can be found between midday Monday and midnight Thursday, and between midday and midnight on Saturday. Most Eurostar tickets go on sale up to six months before departure so keep this in mind when planning your trip and try to get in early.How far in advance can you book TGV trains?
