点评:We took our first Via Canada train trip from Quebec City to Montreal in April.
Online ticket purchase was easy and we received our ticket via email. We purchased the Escape fare which was the lowest, non-refundable class and included free baggage for a limited time. Instead of going with the default seat selected by the website, I checked the train direction of travel (as noted on the reservation screen) and made sure our our seats faced forward.
When we arrived at the Gare du Palais it was 45 minutes ahead of the train departure as recommended. However, I think 30 minutes or less would have been sufficient.
The queue to check in went fairly quickly and we got pulled aside to have our bags weighed. It was below the max weight plus it was only a 24" suitcase which was well within the accepted bag dimensions. Not sure why us when others with much larger suitcases were just waived through.
Inside the train seemed quite new and our seats were comfortable. They had a decent recline and a seat tray in front for food or computer use.
We had our tickets checked a couple times during the trip by the conductors.
Food and drink carts periodically went through the car so there was always an opportunity to buy something if one did not pack their own.
The train departed on time and it arrived a little after the scheduled arrival time. This was due to two stops for traffic that were announced.
Based on this experience we would travel on Via Canada again.
翻译:4 月份,我们第一次乘坐 Via Canada 列车从魁北克市前往蒙特利尔。
网上购票非常方便,我们通过电子邮件收到了票。我们购买了 Escape 票价,这是最低的不可退款舱位,并且包含限时免费行李。我没有选择网站选择的默认座位,而是查看了列车行驶方向(如预订屏幕上所示),并确保我们的座位朝前。
我们到达 Gare du Palais 时,距离火车出发时间提前了 45 分钟,这是推荐时间。但是,我认为 30 分钟或更短时间就足够了。
办理登机手续的队伍排得相当快,我们被拉到一边称重行李。它低于最大重量,而且只有 24 英寸的行李箱,完全在允许的行李尺寸之内。不知道为什么我们被允许通过,而其他带着更大行李箱的人却被允许通过。
火车内部看起来很新,我们的座位很舒服。他们有一个不错的倾斜度,前面有一个座位托盘,可以放食物或电脑。
在旅途中,乘务员检查了我们的票几次。
食物和饮料车会定期经过车厢,所以如果你没有自己打包,总有机会买点东西。
火车准时出发,比预定到达时间晚了一点到达。这是因为宣布了两个交通站点。
基于这次经历,我们将再次乘坐 Via Canada 旅行。
