Eurostar Boarding Timeeurostar boarding

Boarding on Eurostar train is called 20 minutes before the departure of the train and there’s a pretty strong gate rush. You can walk in 10 minutes prior to boarding just to avoid rush.

Seating Plan

For Leisure class, the seating is 2 on one side (or 2×2 facing each other at a table) and 1 on one side (again, sharing a table). The seats are very comfortable even though they don’t recline.

MealsEurostar Meals

The meal menus are passed before Ebbsfleet International, about 20 minutes south of London. Breakfast is a choice of two (which includes low fat, low salt, kosher, vegetarian, etc). A cheese omelet with chicken and herb sausage and sautéed potatoes, or an organic breakfast fruit load with air dried ham, cheddar and grapes. Both were accompanied with yogurt, bread and pastries, and a container of Tropicana orange juice.

When the train comes out of the tunnel the announcements are in French, and then followed by English. The train arrives in arrives in Paris at Gare Du Nord station right on time in 2h 15min.

Travel Experienceeurostar travel information
