VIA 1 class
Your first choice in southern Québec and southern Ontario.
You're a demanding traveller who, for business or pleasure, travels to or from Windsor, Toronto, Ottawa, Montréal or Québec City. VIA 1class is naturally your first choice, since it offers everything you expect from a first-class trip - except the high price.
Available on most trains in southern Québec and southern Ontario, VIA 1 class gives you the space, comfort and atmosphere you need to sit back and relax or turn your travel time into a productive working session. Also included in the price of your ticket: A delicious three-course meal.
All trains between Montréal and Québec City now use the new Renaissance coach cars, whose superb comfort will delight you. You can read as much as you like, snooze or even use our pay-per-use wireless Internet service (Wi-Fi access is available on all our trains in southern Ontario and southern Québec).
The Panorama lounge is the first of the privileges you enjoy in VIA 1 class. When you arrive at the station (in Québec City, Montréal, Dorval, Ottawa, Toronto, Kingston or London), go straight to the elegant Panorama lounge. Pick up your tickets, then relax in a roomy armchair until departure. Soft drinks and the day's newspapers are available - all free of charge, naturally. In Montréal, you can also relax in an electric massage chair.
You will be notified when the time comes to board the train (you are entitled to priority boarding). Please note that at Dorval station, you must pick up your tickets at the ticket counter before going to the Panorama lounge.
You'll find the spacious and stylish VIA 1 cars conducive to relaxation. Settle in your generously cushioned seat, recline it, stretch your legs and sit back, enjoying all the room you have.
To help you work better, there's a tray to accommodate your laptop computer. No need to worry about battery life: you can plug in to the power outlet provided.
Most trains in southern Québec and southern Ontario operate LRC cars. The colour scheme and lighting in the VIA 1 LRC car create a distinctive, soothing atmosphere that our customers greatly appreciate.
On some trips between Québec City, Montréal and Ottawa, VIA is now offering passengers the luxurious VIA 1 Renaissance cars. These new European-designed cars are the pride of VIA Rail.
Better still, holders of VIA 1 class tickets travelling in Renaissance cars also enjoy exclusive access to the VIA 1 lounge. Rivalling our sumptuous Panorama lounges for comfort, these cars give you something that no other mode of land or air transport can: the chance to leave your seat and stroll to the lounge to meet other passengers in VIA 1 class. And while there, you can help yourself to fruit juice or soft drinks. Alcoholic drinks, also free to VIA 1 class passengers, are served by the attendant at the service counter.
You'll be served a delicious meal, included in the ticket price. Follow this link to find out more about our wine list and the menus available.
Passengers on the morning train start their day with a generous breakfast including fruit salad, juice, eggs, light pastries and tea or coffee. At noon and in the early evening, we serve you a delicious three-course meal: appetizer and varied main dishes, with dessert and bread. Aperitifs and wines accompany the food. Then, let us spoil you and start your evening with an after-dinner liqueur.
Sometimes during peak travel periods, your main course selection may not be available. We thank you for understanding.
If you are leaving from Montréal or Toronto, let us carry your baggage to the train.
If you are travelling in Southern Québec and Southern Ontario, it is possible that your train will not have a baggage car. In this case, we ask you to limit yourself to two articles of baggage. Follow these links for information on carry-on baggage on trains without checked baggage service.
