VIA Rail Canada is having a last minute sale for those of you who are still trying to plan some romantic getaway for your significant others, and still be able to save a little (remember the big day is now two weeks away tomorrow!) This deal that they are offering will give you, on select one-way fares, up to a 55% discount from the regular economy fare; or if you’re travelling business class within the Windsor – Quebec City corridor and equal savings.

There are of course restrictions as to when you must travel and where you are travelling to, as is normally the case with trains, planes and automobiles deals. For the 55% off discount on economy fare tickets, you must book your travel at least 3 days before you intend to leave and it has to be between February 2nd-28th. The economy fare tickets can be across Canada and must be booked between January 30th and February 9th.

Essentially the same rules apply for the VIA Rail business class tickets, except that it is only valid within the Windsor-Quebce city corridor and dates of travel must be on a Friday, Saturday, or a Sunday.

I was able to find a one-way fare from Ottawa to Montreal on Valentine’s Day weekend for just $37.63 – and if I wasn’t too picky about the return ticket (e.g. coming home on a Tuesday versus a Monday) I could swing the same price!
