I could stop by in BXL and visit a friend then take a regular train home, but what if I don't even board the CDG to BRU TGV, will they know? It says I need to pick up my TGVAir ticket at the SNCF counter, do they check I actually board the train afterwards?
For 200 miles, I would be confident that they will renew. Even a couple of years ago they were doing it, and now that the crisis and April fool has hit, they will be desperate to attract "loyal" customers.
