It’s usually cheaper to book in advance. In particular if you want cheap seats on the Eurostar you have to books months in advance.

- gpvos 3mo agoThe Interrail reservations/supplements are fixed price (or for some SNCF trains there are two price levels as the train fills up). But their number is limited, so in a way the advice is the same.
- andrewshadura 3mo agoNot for Eurostar. Interrail seat reservations are often more expensive than a new ticket.
- gpvos 3mo agoI've taken Amsterdam-London with Interrail many times, usually €35, sometimes €57, often sold out. So yeah, two price levels; Eurostar is basically SNCF.
- andrewshadura 3mo agoI've had on multiple occasions Eurostar reservations cost more than 300 €. I didn't buy them, of course.
- gpvos 3mo agoThose were normal reservations, not Interrail ones, which I explicitly was talking about, trying to get the conversation back on track to Interrail which is the subject of TFA. Those high prices are what I meant with "sold out" above; in that case you get the prices for normal reservations listed instead of the Interrail ones. They are usually marked as such, though, e.g. on RailEurope it'll say "Rail Pass doesn't apply for this trip". Pretty big difference.
- arjie 3mo agoEurostar Snap used to be cheap as balls. 19 quid. Though going there it seems that it's no longer available https://snap.eurostar.com/uk-en https://snap.eurostar.com/uk-en What a pity. Lots of fun weekends in Paris on that when I was younger.
