Common mistakes
- Not checking the station: Lille has two main stations: Lille Flandres, in the heart of the city, and Lille Europe, a few minutes away on foot. Check which one is on your ticket.
- Forgetting fees: an extra bag or a ticket change can cancel the saving on a low-price ticket.
- Buying late: the lowest prices go first; SNCF Connect advises booking as soon as sales open.
