Eurostar experts-please help!
 
I've looked at Eurostar's website and I've bought tickets before-but.. We go London to Paris on July 31, returning to London on August 18. I'm wondering how long I can wait before buying. The round trip price I got for 2 seniors, 2nd class was about $600. I know you can go for less on the ferry, etc., but it's a day long, rather grueling voyage. Thanks.

You are doing something wrong, on those days the price I get is $330 for 2 seniors

WAIT, don't wait, I have never seen prices go down, they go up.

I got €207 for two round trip Standard Non-flexible tickets for two 60+ yrs old on those dates.

The Semi-flexible tickets are €405, which is just over $600 (USD).

I also got #330.00 for 2 RT tickets. Are you pricing for 1st class? If so it is not necessary for a 2 hr train ride. That's a lot of extra money for a newspaper and a crappy meal.

Made the Eurostar reservations $330 rt - seniors. This is a reasonable price so I'm not buying insurance. The site is really quite easy to use. Thanks, everybody!
