That seems to be true if I use Mozilla Firefox to visit the Eurostar website (won't sell to me more than four months out). If I use Internet Explorer, I appear to be able to purchase all the way out to about August 2008. Although various FAQ sites list 180 days out as the ticketing window. Which is correct? (will be traveling early April 2008)

And I was finding US$51.50 each way London-Paris return the other day when I was searching, but now the best I can find is about US$75.50 each way. Was there some kind of special going on or ???

edit: Guess I found my answer at http://meleterc.com/Page523.html - same day return at US$102 r/t.

Another question. I will be purchasing using a US debit card (ATM card with VISA number). I read somewhere that "virtual" credit cards are not permitted for online purchase, will I be able to use a debit card for purchasing Eurostar tix online.

Thanks
