The primary passenger on any eligible trip may be invited to bid for an upgrade via email a few days before the scheduled departure. Upgrades are permitted on Eurostar London Routes Services (i.e., routes to/from London St Pancras International and routes between Lille Europe and Brussels-Midi) from Standard to Standard Premier/Eurostar Plus only.
