Eurostar


is
changing
its
three
classes
of
travel
from
November,
when
they
will
become
Eurostar
Standard,
Eurostar
Plus
and
Eurostar
Premier. 

Passengers
in
the
first
two
classes
will
be
able
to
exchange
tickets
until
one
hour
before
departure,
and
claim
a
refund
until
seven
days
before
the
journey.
Premier
Class
passengers
will
be
able
to
claim
refunds
until
two
days
after
the
booked
departure.

It
will
be
the
most
flexible
tariff
ever
offered
by
Eurostar,
which
began
in
1994
and
merged
with
Thalys
in
2022
to
become
the
Eurostar
Group.
In
spite
of
the
merger
two
years
ago,
Thalys
has
maintained
a
separate
system
of
classes
until
now.
It
was
also
announced
last
year
that
the
Thalys
brand
was
being
replaced
by
the
Eurostar
name,
although
the
continental
routes
based
on
Paris
which
Thalys
operated
are
continuing.

Bookings
for
the
new
classes
opened
yesterday
for
travel
from
4
November
but
the
new
flexible
conditions
have
started
to
apply,
except
in
Eurostar
Premier.

Eurostar
chief
business
development
and
integration
officer
Matthieu
Quyollet
said:
“Eurostar
is
setting
new
standards
for
international travel
by
providing
the
greatest
flexibility,
clarity
and
comfort
to
customers
looking
to
enjoy
Europe
in
the
most
sustainable
way.
The
new
aftersales
policy
across
all
of
Eurostar’s
travel
classes
means
that
all
customers
can
now
take
advantage
of
more
flexibility
and
choice
than
ever
before.’
