Ski Holiday Checklist

Check-in at St Pancras International
Follow these simple steps for a stress free trip all the way to the Alps:

  • The first thing to remember is to bring your ticket with you. You’ll need the real thing rather than your email confirmation so that it can be read by our ticket machines. When you book you can choose to print your ticket at home, have it sent to you by post or pick it up from your departure station yourself.
  • You’ll also need your passport. It may strike you as obvious but you’d be surprised how many people forget, and we can’t let you on the train without it.
  • We recommend you arrive to check in an hour before your train is due to depart. That way you’ll be able to avoid any queues and breeze straight through to the departure lounge.
  • Especially for people travelling to the Alps we also allow an extra item of luggage per passenger, such as a pair of skis or a snowboard. That’s on top of the usual maximum of 2 medium-sized cases (85cm at their longest length), plus one item of hand luggage. Once on board, we’ve reserved an area in each carriage specifically for your large luggage, so you won’t have to struggle to make everything fit.
