Hoping for some help.
I've booked Standard Premier singles on Eurostar for a party of 4 to Brussels Midi on 7 July on the 12:58 arriving 16:08. 2 blind members of the group can travel to any Belgian station free. The other 2 "Companion" tickets only allow travel to Midi.
So I'm looking to book 2 First Class singles from Brussels Midi to Antwerp Central. Eurostar have advised the 2 Standard Premier tickets can't be used on Thalys services. I've gone on the Belgian Rail website (www.belgianrail.be). However, I can't select any dates for July (7 July in our case). Tried a random date in June and found a fast 16:50-17:45 service with a decent price for 2 First Class single tickets.
Am I doing something wrong or can I not book any tickets in July at the moment?
Not travelled on Belgian Rail before, what is First Class like on their Intercity services? Any complimentaries offered? Also, is the transfer from Eurostar to domestic platforms relatively easy at Brussels Midi? I need to also book disabled assistance for the group for the Belgian trip.
Thanks for your help.
