A Complete Guide to Eurostar Luggage Rules: Luggage Limits, Size Restrictions, Storage Areas & Luggage Delivery Services

Eurostar connects many major cities across Europe and is one of the most popular transportation options for travelers exploring multiple European countries. But as international travelers, we often carry more luggage than local passengers. 

Today, we'll take a look at Eurostar's luggage guidelines and some simple anti-theft tips, so you can travel with less worry and focus on enjoying your European adventure. 

Luggage Allowance  

Eurostar offers three travel classes: Eurostar Premier, Eurostar Plus, and Eurostar Standard, each with different luggage allowances. 

Eurostar categorizes luggage into luggage and hand luggage. Hand luggage includes smaller items such as backpacks, handbags, briefcases, laptop bags, and similar personal items. 

Eurostar Premier

• Three pieces of luggage + one piece of hand luggage  

• Strollers are allowed free of charge  

• Children may bring one piece of luggage + one piece of hand luggage  

Eurostar Plus & Eurostar Standard

• Two pieces of luggage + one piece of hand luggage  

• Strollers are allowed free of charge  

• Children may bring one piece of luggage + one piece of hand luggage  

If you need to bring more pieces of luggage than your allowance, you can purchase additional luggage allowance through the Eurostar website. 

Additional luggage options include standard luggage, oversized luggage, bicycles, musical instruments, and sports equipment. Prices vary depending on the type and size of the luggage.  

What Luggage Size Do Eurostar's Official Dimensions Correspond To? 

For routes to and from London, each piece of luggage may be up to 85 cm in length. For other routes, the maximum length is 75 cm. There is no weight limit. 

To reduce the number of luggage pieces you need to bring, consider pairing a spacious, easy-to-organize 28-inch suitcase with a 20-inch front-opening suitcase. 

The front compartment can hold medication, chargers, water bottles, headphones, and other essentials, making them easy to access during your trip. This combination is convenient and helps you stay within the luggage allowance.

Designated luggage storage areas are available near the carriage entrances and are suitable for larger 28-inch suitcases. 

The overhead luggage racks can accommodate smaller bags and may also fit larger luggage depending on its size.

Worried About Losing Your Luggage? Anti-Theft Tips 

If you're concerned about your luggage being lost or accidentally taken by another passenger, consider choosing a seat closer to the luggage storage area so you can keep an eye on your suitcase. 

If you can't get a seat near the luggage area, it's also a good idea to check your luggage whenever the train stops at a station to make sure it hasn't been accidentally moved or taken. 

You can also use a tracking device such as an AirTag and place it inside the dedicated AirTag pocket built into Acer suitcases. Even if your luggage is accidentally lost, you can use your phone to track its location in real time, significantly increasing the chances of recovering it and giving you greater peace of mind throughout your journey.
