Hope you enjoyed this amazing winter train experience! Additional information FYI: Numbers of seats in the dome car reserved for Prestige class passengers vary throughout the day & days. I think however, the very first row seats were always reserved. During the Peak season (generally May-October), sleeper class passengers can only access the park car during specific times, so check ahead! There are a few more outlets spread out throughout the train besides the park car, which can get a bit competitive! Eastbound trains (Vancouver -> Toronto) were always cheaper than Westbound trains (Toronto -> Vancouver) when I was planning, but I don't know if this is always the case throughout the year. I came across this great opportunity while editing Around America videos and I thought I'll upload this first while things are still fresh in my mind! Now I'll get back to Around America videos (and my Korean channel too for those watching both😁) Let me know if you have any questions 😁😁
the lounge in vancouver is really nice, took this trip in 2002, they did have the outdoor lounge then, indoor did not look like this one, the food was one of the best parts of the trip, via is far better than amtrak. glad you enjoyed, I had a roomette for the whole trip
Nice commentary and I like your humour. When we travelled from Toronto last May the Rockies were mostly hidden by wildfire smoke, so thanks for the landscape views (in between the billions of trees! and the frieght trains!)
Via Rail assigns your berth upon purchase of the ticket. I heard you may be able to switch to lower or upper for free by calling them but haven't actually tried (there's a fee to change online)
