Web site for Thalys train
 
Could someone please send me the web site for buying a ticket from Brussells to Paris on the Thalys train? I can't seem to make SNCB work. Thanks in advance.

While it's not necessarily the CHEAPEST way to get tix, it is reliable if you're trying to secure seats before you depart from the U.S.:<BR><BR>http://www.raileurope.com/us/index.htm <BR><BR>Others may advise you to wait and purchase the tickets in Europe, but that is not always practical in every situation.<BR><BR>

<BR>Uh, Jim...<BR><BR>If you had clicked on it, you would know that the link I provided allows you to book Thalys, Eurostar and TGV tickets in advance for journeys originating in Belgium NO MATTER WHERE YOU LIVE - by internet or by phone BTW. <BR><BR>Why pay the stupid Eurail surcharge when you can go straight to the source??? <BR><BR>While Eurail makes sense for trains that are hard or impossible to book directly from the US (such as overnight trains from and within Italy or Spain), using them for TGV, Eurostar, Thalys or AVE tickets is just plain stupid.<BR><BR>Andre
