According to the operator, Snap is designed to provide quick and simple access to the lowest fares, offering up to the minute availability from any mobile device, tablet or desktop.  Bookings must be at least 7 days before departure.

Nick Mercer, Commercial Director, Eurostar, says: “Our research has shown that there is a strong appetite for spontaneous travel at great prices.  With state-of-the-art trains boasting 20% more capacity, as well as wifi and onboard entertainment, travellers with a flexible schedule can look forward to a spur of the moment trip at the lowest fare.”
