| Can I book online? |
From Ashford, yes, but from St Pancras, no. Online you can currently book travel only from Ashford, but not from St Pancras (phone Crystal instead if you want to book travel from St Pancras). The reason for this is a technical hitch in the booking system, which Crystal are working on a solution for. Although St Pancras is given as an option, if you select it no holiday results will appear. Please note that the Crystal site asks you to choose your "Preferred airport", but "airport" also includes railway stations. The search results refer to train journeys as "flights". We've highlighted to Crystal that this is a bit unclear. |
