Can I change my reservation after purchasing a ticket?

Asked 5 months ago
Yes, it is possible to change a reservation after purchasing a ticket with Via Rail Canada. However, the specific conditions that apply depend on the type of ticket purchased. Generally, flexible fare tickets allow for changes without incurring a fee, while other fare types may have restrictions or charges associated with making changes. To modify a reservation, customers typically need to log into their Via Rail account or access their ticket details through the Via Rail website. This process will usually guide them through available options for modifying their itinerary. It is important to note that changes must be made before the scheduled departure time of the original train. If a ticket is changed to a different route or date, any fare difference will be applicable, and depending on the alteration, additional fees may also be incurred. For the most accurate and detailed information regarding your specific situation, it is advisable to check the Via Rail Canada website, particularly the section about ticket policies. This way, you can find the most relevant information and make any necessary adjustments to your reservation smoothly.
