Getting from London to Paris
Is this difficult to do? I've seen airfare deals to London lately, but none to Paris. I was thinking it may be more economical to fly into London and just take a train to Paris? I'm just wondering if this is feasible, or will it end up costing the same as flying anyway?

Look into prices on the Eurostar which is the direct train from Waterloo station London to Gare du Nord station Paris.<BR><BR>More direct, check in time only 20-30 mins before departure.<BR><BR>Kavey

Alternatively, try checking out pan-European airlines. www.easyjet.com, www.ryanair.com, www.buzzaway.com, www.go-fly.com for some really cheap fares.

Take into consideration that the train drops you in the "city center". If using a plane, you will have to take into consideration transportation into the city.

Chris, I did just that last March. Found RT airfare thru Travelocity for $378 Cincinnati/London and paid RT $158 via Eurostar London/Paris. Found that the total was definitely cheaper than flying directly to Paris and got to see 2 cities to boot!

Geting from London to Paris is not difficult if you plan ahead. The Eurostar is very quick and goes through the Chunnel. We went First class from Paris to London and were required to buy a round trip ticket. A big waste. However, the accomodations were great and the meal was not bad! Whether you go economy or higher, you are responsible for your luggage. Be careful how much you bring-no one to help you. I agree with the comment that you go from 'city center' to city center' when you travel by train. A real advantage, in my opinion. The trip to Heathrow will cost another $40-$50 and the trip from Charles DeGaulle will be the same, if you fly. Don't forget that!
