Eurostar Booking from London with a foreign address ;-)
There was an article in the Sundays about the 'pleasures' of booking
using Eurostar.com (and a page on the Man at Seat 61's site) and selecting Spain or Germany as your country of residence and being offered a completely different set of tariffs (much lower) to eurostar.co.uk, including cost effective single tickets rather than their £155 flexible single, which is all you get if you try eurostar.co.uk. I followed all the tips about deleting your internet history/cookies/ files etc and indeed, it did come up with a 'Which Country are you resident in ?' screen. Whichever country was selected seemed to bring up the same set of fares (albeit priced in €s rather that £s). I'm wondering if the site now detects where your ISP is based and prices accordingly. Do I therefore conclude that either Eurostar have closed this particular loophole or at least done this in countries whose ISP it detects as being British ? I have a low cost German dialup number which places my residence in Wiesbaden I shall try out. |
