I'm now looking for our train tickets on Eurostar from London to Paris in July. An interesting thing...it's cheaper to travel as standard fare than it is as a Youth or Senior!
I'm getting 29.50 return for regular fare and double or more for a youth or senior.
Any comments? Advice? I think I'll just book as a regular person!

That's probably right, Brenda. Check out this discussion not too long ago.

We are here now in Paris and the weather is beuatiful.

If you're getting 29.50 - book it quickly!
These cheap fares disappear.

An update...
I booked our train tickets from London to Paris last night on Eurostar! Joanna's Dancing Man
Youth @ £24.50 one way
Senior @ £29.50 one way
Total £108.00 for both return tickets.

So, one more item checked off my to-do list.

I just realized this morning that it is less than 2 months 'til we leave for London. That's a shock! I've been puttering along in low gear, because we've been planning this for so long. Now, I better ramp it up a bit, I think!
