Practical Information for High-speed Train Travelers

Luggage guidelines for high-speed trains between Paris and Brussels. Below are key points on carry-on, checked-size items and special deliveries when traveling on international high-speed services:

Luggage Allowance

Passengers may bring carry-on bags and larger items. Typical operators allow two pieces of luggage plus a small item such as a laptop bag. There are no strict checked-luggage weight limits for standard high-speed tickets, but larger items should fit in racks or designated areas.

Storage Facilities

High-speed trains provide overhead shelves and luggage racks at the car ends for suitcases. Keep valuables with you; larger suitcases are stored near doors or at carriage ends and must not block aisles or emergency exits.

Rail travel on high-speed services connects central Paris and central Brussels directly, reducing transfer time compared with flights and offering faster door-to-door times than most long-distance buses. Buses provide lower fares but much longer journey durations and fewer departures. Flights have shorter airborne times but require airport transfers and check-in, increasing total travel time. For city-center to city-center travel between Paris and Brussels, high-speed rail is typically the preferred option.

Plus, it’s a greener choice, reducing your carbon footprint
