Today the Express Deals page is blank. Any ideas what Via is up to?

Probably just down momentarily for updating and they are updated daily.

Yesterday (Mar 31) I checked and only Corridor Deal were available. Today.....lots more including the Canadian.

If you are looking for somthing in particular, you have to check daily.....then grab it!

Sorry, but I'm drawing a blank. :lol: :lol:


If you looking for deals involving VAN, there ain't none :giggle: :giggle:


Perhaps all the Canadian deals were grabbed up already. The last time I looked, a week or so ago, there were plenty of deals available. I am hoping for good express deals in the Fall.

Sue,

The price you see is the price per person. For example I picked a trip on April 3rd from Toronto to Vancouver. The first page showed a price of $581.10 CDN. That's the price for 1 person. When I move to the next screen and select 1 adult & 1 youth (since your daughter is 12), I find that each of you must pay $581.10 for a total of $1,028.50 before tax. The taxes add another $133.70 bringing the grand total to $1,162.20 CDN. Conversion to US dollars could result in a higher price or a lower price depending on the exchange rate at the time of booking, along with the fee charged by your credit card company.

There is no extra "railfare" like at Amtrak.

Also note, you cannot exchange or get a refund on these tickets, so be sure that you can take the trip!

I'm confused about the express deal. I I want to travel with my 12 yr old daughter and I select a cabin for 2. I pay that price. Is there a "rail fare" like Amtrak? It must cost more than the price of the cabin for 2.
Sue

Via prices cabins on a per-person basis. Via does not have separate rail fares and accommodation charges like Amtrak.

On the Via website, select the train and accommodation you want, select the number of adults and number of "Youths" (for Express Deals, the price adult and youth prices are the same), and the pricing page will show the price per person and the total cost.
