Eurostar flash sale and summer sale – how to get cheap tickets to Paris, Amsterdam, Brussels, Rotterdam and Lille

A new Eurostar sale has landed, meaning you can get cheap Eurostar tickets at £49 each way for trips in spring and summer, for travel between 18 May – 27 July 2026.

But you'll need to act fast, as Eurostar says these cheaper tickets have limited availability.

We were able to find plenty of £49 tickets on sale, and they weren't all at ridiculously early or late times either. Just bear in mind that you’ll need to book a return to get the lowest prices.

To browse the sale tickets, head to the summer sale page on the Eurostar website.

However, if you’re able to hold off a little longer, it could be worth waiting to book your trip during the next flash sale — we’ve seen tickets going for as low as £27 one-way in previous flash sales.

When is the next flash sale?

Eurostar has not yet announced dates for its next flash sale — only the spring/summer 2026 sale. The last flash sale happened in early November. 

Looking for cheap off-season Eurostar tickets?

If you’re planning to travel sooner than spring, good news — the cheapest tickets available with Eurostar are still in January and February 2026.

There are plenty of Friday and Saturday departures too, so you don't have to travel midweek to get good prices. For instance, we found a £39 ticket to Paris on Saturday 31 January at 6.01pm. You can return on Monday 2 February at 8:32am for the same price, bringing the total overall return to £78.

What is a good deal for a Eurostar ticket?

When we analysed a year of Eurostar ticket prices, we found the average one-way fare to Paris was £79. One week before departure, the average cost shot up to £143. 

Average prices to Brussels were very similar. If it’s not important when you travel, you will always get the best deals on Eurostar tickets by waiting for sales.

Are the Eurostar sale ticket prices a good deal right now?

It depends when you plan to travel — and how soon you need to book.

While the spring/summer sale tickets are reasonably priced at £49, considering they’re available during peak summer travel season, you might get a better deal in a flash sale closer to the time.

The lowest price we've ever seen for tickets in a flash sale is £27 — and the lowest priced tickets in November’s flash sale were £29 each way.

When can I travel with the Eurostar cheap ticket deal?

Eurostar has not announced an end date for the summer sale, but it applies to travel between 18 May and 27 July 2026. Some dates are excluded – check the Eurostar website for more information.

Tickets from London to Paris, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Brussels and Lille are all included in the sale.

Are there any restrictions on Eurostar discounted tickets?

Standard class tickets, such as the £35 tickets available, can be exchanged up to one hour before departure without paying a fee, although you will pay any fare difference. 

Tickets can be refunded seven days before departure, but there is a £25 penalty.
