It turns out that a return Eurostar ticket between London and Paris is only slightly more expensive (£2 more) than a single ticket at my desired time. I decided to travel one-way on Eurostar because I already have transport arrangements to take me back to the UK from Amsterdam.
Scenario 1 (Eurostar return):
London-Paris-London - £58
Amsterdam-Paris (to catch return Eurostar journey) - £24
London-final UK destination - £22
ESTIMATED COST: £104
Scenario 2 (Eurostar single + airline back to UK):
London-Paris - £67
Amsterdam-Final UK Destination - £37
ESTIMATED COST: £104
Scenario 3 (Eurostar 'return' + airline back to UK):
Eurostar 'return' ticket - £58 (including the leg I won't take)
Amsterdam-Final UK Destination - £37
ESTIMATED COST: £95
Here's my question: If I decide to take scenario 3, i.e. not to take the return Eurostar train, will it be a problem for me if I wish to make a future booking with them? A non-refundable ticket shouldn't be an issue given that the price differential between the one-way and return ticket is small.
Take option 3 and miss the return. There shouldn't be any problem with that at all. Sometimes but not always missing the outbound can void the inbound but if you miss the return unless I'm wrong you should be fine. Certainly no problem booking with them in the future.
