As a self-professed adventure-addictthe idea of a spontaneous trip to the continent is my idea of heaven. But due to the fact that last minute getaway prices usually sky-rocket (and that I used every morsel of my annual leave allowance in the first three months of the year), spontaneity has had to get a whole lot more… planned. But not anymore, because everybody’s favourite international locomotive has entered the chat.
Now, admittedly they can’t do much about your holiday allowance, but if it’s the last-minute prices that are stopping you from romantisising your life and hopping on a spontaneous train to a far off city, then this will be right up your street track. Eurostar is back and up to their old tricks; offering quick, easy, and affordable trips to some of Europe’s most iconic cities through their rail-y great service, Snap. Back by popular demand, the tailored service offers last-minute city-breakers the chance to hop on the Eurostar to Paris, Brussels or Amsterdam for a hugely discounted price. Up to 50% off, in fact.
How does Eurostar Snap work?
Designed for spur-of-the-moment travelers, Snap allows customers to simply select a train date and destination, and leave Eurostar to take care of the rest. Eurostar will choose the best train time available for your departure date, sharing the details with you just 48 hours beforehand. The best part about it (apart from the sheer excitement of having an ad-hoc adventure) is that you get the trip at an exclusive discounted fare of up to 50% off.
You can select your departure date up to 14 days in advancebut if you’re feeling super spontaneous, you can wait until the day before you wish to travel. Eurostar Snap is a way to ensure no seat is left empty, ensuring that each journey is as eco-friendly as possible. Travelling by train emits on average 90% less CO2 than cares and a whopping 95% less than planes, so Snap isn’t just good for your bank account, but your conscience, too.
It sounds snap-solutely brilliant to me…
