What about the train-ferry combination that many recall fondly from their childhoods? Well, though it’s budget-saving, this option is too time-consuming today, so better leave it to your memories. Since the UK is not part the Schengen Area, passengers need to go through passport control prior to boarding. Air trips Though flying between London and Paris is by no means recommended there are still a few people traveling between the two dynamic cities by air. A very low one-way fare is possible through advanced booking, but of course it’s rare, and that doesn’t include the taxi and rail fares traveling to and from the airports. * One-way fares from Paris can be as low as 49; * From London, Air France flies with fares as low as £39(46), and British Airways as low as £48 (56). Rail trips The only direct train between London and Paris is the Eurostar, which travels 15 -17 times per weekday. Eurostar’s 2015 edition trains can make the journey in two hours at speeds of up to 320 km/h. Besides, they offer good seating space. * Fares begin at a reasonable £58(68), round trip; * The earlier you book, the more you save. Bus trips The bus is by far the least expensive and longest way to travel between Paris and London. Eurolines and OUIBUS are two major bus lines traveling between the two capitals. The journey takes between seven and nine hours. Both lines advertise free Wi-Fi. * One-way Eurolines fares begin at 15; * One-way OUIBUS fares begin at 15 too, but early bird sales can even lower the fare. 1. Which way is probably the cheapest for a round trip? A. By train-ferry. B. By air. C. By rail. D. By bus. 2. What special service does the bus trip provide? A. Free booki
