The Deal of the Week features VIA Rail, the focus of the Travel Show this week. If you have been encouraged to consider a long-distance rail adventure with VIA, check out their Discount Tuesdays. Each week they post some great deals on the classic routes for those who can be flexible with their timings.

So, for instance, this week I noted a departure on the transcontinental “Canadian” for the four-day trip in Sleeper Plus Class that had been discounted from $1,269 to $752 – that’s a whopping 40% reduction! Go to www.VIARail.ca to see what’s on offer next Tuesday!
