DH and I are planning on moving back to the UK mid September and are exploring our options for getting there. Eurostar was only about £40 each and I looked again and it had more than doubled tried to see if train to Calais and then Eurostar would be cheaper but no such luck.
Not too keen to book it now because our travel date isn't 100% certain (DH needs a visa and application processing times are unpredictable) and we can't afford to lose the money if we can't travel as we need it all for first months rent/deposit until we find our feet in the UK.
We have 4 large suitcases at the moment but may need additional bags if all our stuff doesn't fit. Flying doesn't seem wise because of the baggage fees.
No car, so that's not an option which leaves a Megabus. We would need to leave late afternoon so that leaves the night Megabus which takes an eternity to get to the UK. I really hate coaches and get coach sick- although I suspect this is psychological based on hatred of previous school journeys on coaches-
Does anyone have experience of the coach? Is there another way to get home with all the luggage? Will the prices go up if we book much nearer the time? Dreading it now and weeping in self pity that I didn't just book the bargain eurostar tickets.

To think taking a coach from Paris to London is a horrific idea
