Simplification. Such is the guiding principle of the new range Eurostar <\/strong>dedicated to business travellers, in place for a few days now. \u00ab Now that the merger with Thalys is complete, Eurostar has listened to its customers' requests to establish a new framework and make its business programme clearer<\/em> \u00bb, explains Sales Director Fran\u00e7ois Le Doze. In fact, this Corporate Programme consists of two tiers, the first accessible from \u20ac\/\u00a350,000 in annual spend across the entire Eurostar network, and the second from \u20ac\/\u00a3150,000 per year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Travellers receive a 5% discount on ticket prices in Eurostar Premier class and a -3% discount on Eurostar Plus for Level 1, supplemented by a dedicated customer service, specific services and additional discounts negotiated on a case-by-case basis for Level 2. Below \u20ac50,000 in annual spend, companies have access to Eurostar for Business, the railway company's corporate portal. \u00ab While companies chased discounts 15 years ago, today they favour ease of use, ticket flexibility, services, not to mention the environmental issue linked to carbon emissions<\/em> \"he adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An API tailored to business travel needs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At the same time, Eurostar is working on making distribution easier for business customers. This is done via Eurostar for Business, which is widely used by SMEs and VSEs, as well as TMCs, GDS Air, and technology platforms that integrate the Eurostar offering into their self-booking tool. Eurostar has also just created its app within ChatGPT in the UK, Belgium, and the Netherlands. Business and leisure travellers can use it to plan their trips by accessing detailed route information, timetables, and fares. \u00ab AI is transforming the way customers prepare their trips. It was important to bring accurate and reliable information to this tool<\/em> \u00bb, explains Fran\u00e7ois Le Doze. A link then allows the internet user to switch to the Eurostar.com website to finalise their booking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Business traffic up by 2% in 2026<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While the sales director did not discuss the global 2026 trends, he welcomed the strong performance of business travel, which saw traffic increase by 2% compared to last year. \u00ab The train has become companies' top priority for transport<\/em>\u00ab, states Fran\u00e7ois Le Doze, who also highlights the appeal of the Eurostar network. The Paris-Brussels and London-Brussels routes are the most frequently used by business travellers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
