Here is an overview of the different comfort classes of Eurostar trains in order to better understand their differences and the services dedicated to each. Have a nice trip !
The Standard Class
This is the class offering the best rates but with inflexible exchange and reimbursement conditions, especially for promotional rates. With the exception of promotional fares, the ticket is only exchangeable until departure for a fee and by paying the price difference between the two tickets.
The Standard Class looks like the 2nd class of our TGVs with squares and duo seats side by side. The comfort and legroom is also similar to our TGVs.
Electrical outlets are available in car 5 and 14. However, with the arrival of the new Eurostar trains, electrical outlets are present in all cars!
At no extra charge and without weight restriction, adults can travel up to 2 bags or suitcases and 1 small piece of hand luggage.
Check-in closes 30 minutes before train departure.
The Premier Standard Class
It is the intermediate class offering more comfort and services like the 1st Pro TGV. Tickets are non-refundable but can be exchanged until departure for a fee and paying the price difference between the two tickets.
Travelers benefit from a welcome when accessing their car.
The seats are wider and more comfortable and the cars are more cozy and hushed. Each passenger has an electrical outlet and benefits from a choice of magazines as well as a cold catering service with drinks served to your seat.
At no extra charge and without weight restriction, adults can travel up to 2 bags or suitcases and 1 small piece of hand luggage.
Check-in closes 30 minutes before train departure.
It is possible to mix your journeys by taking, for example, a one way trip in standard class and a return in standard first.
