*Winnipeg-Churchill: Please note that there is no meal service in Sleeper Plus class. Take-out style meals available for purchase on board.

Please note that your baggage allowance will be specific to the fare type you have selected.

  • Should you exceed the authorized baggage allowance (in number, size and/or weight), or if you have not declared/prepaid for the additional item included in your allowance (if applicable), VIA Rail cannot guarantee boarding of all items, as baggage space is subject to availability.
  • Each baggage item must be identified with your name, address, telephone number and e-mail address.
  • Maximum baggage dimensions include wheels and handles.
  • Any baggage weighing more than 23 kg/50 lb will not be allowed on board the Corridor trains.
  • Each passenger is responsible for their own baggage. Please only bring baggage that you can carry and store unassisted (under the seat in front of you, on the overhead shelf or in the towers).
  • For security reasons, checked baggage is not allowed on board without its owner.
  • If your trip was booked before June 10 and you are unable to change your seat or add extra baggage to your reservation online after this date, please contact VIA Rail customer service at 1-888-VIA-RAIL (1-888-842-7245) or TTY 1-800-268-9503 (persons who are deaf or hard-of-hearing).
