 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi all,
I was about to book my Eurostar tickets for this coming winter when I got one of the Ski Club newsletters where they mentioned Eurostar discounts (I think that statement was return tickets starting from £120)
So.......do anyone have any experience of the discount -- is that just a headline to entice people in and there won't actually be any seat available at that price?
Thanks
