Hey Everyone, what is the cheapest way over the English channel. I'm just trying to get from England to Paris. Thanks!

I guess the cheapest way would be by Eurolines bus, but I was pleasantly surprised by the prices for the Eorostar when I looked into it for going from Belgium to London. It was less than 100 € return, and my friends in London said it was about 85 € return from London to Paris, so that would mean 40-50 € one way. The only catch is, you have to book at least 3 weeks in advance, otherwise it becomes considerably more expensive.

A lot depends on when you might want to travel, and how long in advance you are prepared to book. The UK discount airline EasyJet (online at www.easyjet.com) has a one way fare of GBP 25.99 from London Luton Airport to Paris Charles de Gaulle. This is inclusive of all taxes. Naturally it sells out closer to the date of travel, but just now, for example, it is available in the six months from 1 April thru 30 Sept on at least one flight on all but eight days. Indeed, for most days in that six month period, the GBP 25.99 fare is available on all four daily flights. For reference GBP 25.99 is about €38. Both London Luton and Paris CDG airports are quickly and easily reached from their respective city centres. If you are not in London, but elsewhere in England, you will find 24 other English airports with flight connections to Paris, many just as cheap as that I have given as an example above. I guess if you mention where you are or will be in England, I could be more specific.
Hope this helps.

Hey there,

As Nicky said depends on a lot of factors such as when you want to go, and where in the UK you want to get from.

If you check out of all these and have a play around to see which can get you there the cheapest.

Having a quick look myself the cheapest I found was from Bournemouth - Paris with Thomsonfly for only 14 euros, but that will depend how close you are to Bournemouth to make it worthwhile.
