FromAtlanta, Leonard R said &quot;$45 <i>each way</i>&quot;

BLN that's a roundtrip one day fare. We have debated this issue on another thread...what happens if you don't use the return...if they have your credit card can they charge you etc. The general consensus has been that won't happen. If you read through Paula1470's post on this thread, that's what she did. (It might have been on a thread of hers where this was discussed).

I guess I'm just shocked that there would be no penalty - the price difference is so significant! I'm skeptical!! Do you have a link to the other thread? Maybe I'll start a fresh one and try to get some other folks' experiences.... Hmmm!

BLN, I can't find the recent thread about your question, but I know people are regularly told to buy roundtrip and just throw away the return.

This is a year old thread called
One Way eurostar ticket..? but has some good info

BTW, Vincent's post on this thread is very interesting. He mentions a &quot;party animal ticket&quot; (staying over just a Sat. night) which might be even cheaper than a day return.

Thank you!

#-O , So this is the thread that I was looking for. (I couldn't remember!)

mclaurie, I KNOW that he said it was each way (I don't think I said anything to indicate I thought it was RT) ... thats still a lot better than the $75 each way that I have been paying... anyway, I started a new thread and my question was very nicely answered.

FYI, I e-mailed [email protected] and asked about the roundtrip vs one way price difference and said what would happen if you just didn't use the return... this is what they said:

&quot;If is oftentimes the case, as you recognise, that it is less expensive to purchase a return in the situation described and only use one part of it, instead of a single. There is no obligation to use both portions. I hope this has helped and that you are able to travel with us.&quot;

So, that seems pretty definite - they don't care if you don't use the return. I'm still in SHOCK that the difference is so significant!
