Not so subtle advertising banner on FT...
 
I was intrigued at the product placement here!

Well, there are sections on cruises, on hotels, so why not on rail travel. In fact, if the site was less US-centric such a section would likely already be buzzing...

Timings and lack of security issues meaning I can see the advantages of using the train.

You are overthinking it. Ads are served up by algorithms, likely no human was involved in showing that ad to you on this site

I know it's all done by computers - it was more the fact that it tickled me that a Eurostar advert cropped up on a FF forum. No overthinking was carried out on my part.

Normally we would send this to the FT Tech forum as it has no specific BA content, but as the OP’s query has been answered anyway we’ll close the thread.

Flightradar24’s ad-serving algorithms are much smarter ...
