Don't worry about your luggage
We know skiing holidays involve lots of luggage and we’re here to help. You don’t need to pay any hidden fees to bring your luggage on board – it’s all included in your ticket price.
We’ve got plenty of space for bigger bags on board. On Eurostar Standard and Eurostar Plus adults can take up to two pieces of luggage (up to 85cm long), one piece of hand luggage, and skis or a snowboard. If you’re travelling in Eurostar Premier, you can bring the same items, but with three pieces of luggage instead of two. Check our luggage allowances and our rules on sports equipment before you pack.
There’s no weight limit on your luggage. All we ask is that you’re able to transport your bags safely on and off the train and that they’re stored out of harm’s way in our dedicated areas. And don’t forget to label your luggage clearly, too.
