Euro Train Discounts? Brussels to Paris...
Hello guys!
Just looking for advise here. The train has an AF codeshare, are there any discounts or cheap ways to do this short train trip?
Thanks!

Heh, your airline ID and €4 will get you a shot of espresso at BRU...train discounts, not so much.
Two possible ways to do this more cheaply. Walk up fares are slightly cheaper for TGV trains with a connection at Lille Europe than direct Thalys trains, and it takes about 2 hours instead of 1:20. A far better deal is to buy your ticket online ahead of time (tgv-europe.com) - with enough notice or at off-peak times you can get no-flex fares on Thalys for as little as €40.
FYI, most direct trains to Paris depart from Brussels-Midi. It's about a 20 minute ride from the airport.
