Business Premier lounges are available to Business Premier travellers and Eurostar™ Carte Blanche holders. You'll find them in our London, Paris and Brussels departure lounges.There’s no Eurostar Business Premier lounge at Amsterdam or Rotterdam. But you can access the NS Lounge at both stations by showing your ticket to a member of staff.
Enjoy complete freedom and flexibility
Find out more about our luggage allowances.We know your plans can change at the drop of a hat, and that’s why Business Premier offers tickets that are fully flexible. You can exchange or get a refund for your ticket before and after departure.
If you’re travelling between London and the Netherlands, you can get a refund, or exchange your ticket up until departure. You can also exchange your ticket to travel on our indirect route from the Netherlands to London. You’ll need to take a Thalys train from the Netherlands to Brussels and change onto a Eurostar train there.
Dedicated fast-track ticket gates
The dedicated Business Premier ticket gates close shortly before departure, so you can make the most of your time before heading to the station.
Simply scan your ticket at the gate, then breeze straight through security and passport control and into the Business Premier lounge.Boarding guarantee
If you’d like to switch for an earlier or later train on the day you’re travelling, we guarantee to find you a seat, even if Business Premier is full.
So if your meeting overruns or finishes early, you won’t need to worry – just come to the station and one of our team will help.Unfortunately, we’re unable to offer this guarantee for trains to and from the Netherlands.
Generous luggage allowance
Whether you're being whisked away for a romantic weekend or exploring the city with the whole family, there's no need to travel light.
Each adult can take three pieces of luggage up to 85cm long, as well as one small piece of hand luggage. Plus, there's no restriction on liquids so you can take your favourite toiletries (and a bottle of something bubbly for the journey).

Take a look at how we’re serious about sustainability.Did you know that your carbon footprint from one flight to Paris is the same as making 14 Eurostar journeys?* That’s the equivalent of travelling with us every day for two weeks.
We’re committed to switching entirely to renewable energy in the UK, France and Belgium by 2030. And we’re already using 100% wind power to run our trains in the Netherlands
