![[PROMOTION] Save up to 40% with VIA Rail](https://pointshogger.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/VIA-Rail-768x265.jpg)
As we approach Canada’s Thanksgiving (every second Monday of October), VIA Rail is calling it Canadian Black Friday!
Passengers can save up to 40% off bookings made between October 3, 2023 and October 10, 2023. It is simple enough, on the next booking, enter the discount code: CANADA
VIA Rail usually runs a weekly Discount Tuesday promotion whereby certain tickets go on sale for bookings made within a 24-hour period every Tuesday. This offer is taking a pause until January 10, 2023, while a children promotion will run until then.
Travelling by train has always been my favourite ways to travel. I would love to see continue to expand its network and services to make it more accessible and affordable.
For today, we are going to discuss VIA Rail’s discount options when travelling with children.
It has been over 2 years since my last update regarding VIA Rail’s loyalty program: VIA Preference. Also, if you have read my other train related posts, you’ll know that I am a huge fan of trains… yes… even more than the plane when factoring the overall experience. So I always have fun writing about Canada’s primary passenger rail service!
With international travel restrictions tightening up, travel within Canada might be the way to go? Today’s post will update the features and benefits of the VIA Preference program. But also, introduce Rail passes, which I may look into writing an more in-depth post about it in the future. Let’s kick things off with one significant change to VIA Rail’s loyalty program, the expiry policy.
