Frequently asked questions
Is there any additional assistance offered on the train or in the station?
Accessible travel and reduced mobility: If you use wheelchair services for your flight or require other accessibility services, please note that these services do not continue beyond the airport. Please contact SBB before travel to arrange for the provision of accessibility services for the rail portion of your journey. You are responsible for arranging your own transfer between the airport and rail station. For information on accessibility travel on SBB.
What do I do if I missed my train due to a flight delay?
Tickets can be used on all train departures on the day of validity. More information can be found on the SBB website.
How will I know that my booking details include both the flight and train portions of my journey?
You can look for code AC-9B on your ticket details if your train portion is operated by SBB.
While you can purchase an intermodal connection from Air Canada, the rail service is offered by a third-party transportation provider. You enter two separate contracts: one contract of carriage by air with Air Canada, and one contract of carriage by rail with the operator of such transportation. Please note that Air Canada is not responsible and cannot be held liable for the proper performance of the contract of carriage by rail, which is subject to the liability rules applicable to these transport matters.
You should familiarize yourself with the special characteristics, e.g., check-in times, provisions regarding the re-confirmation of bookings, requirements, and policies regarding the carriage of unaccompanied minors, carriage of animals, refusal of carriage, oxygen devices, operational irregularities, denied-boarding compensation, and free baggage allowance/acceptance, etc., of the carrier operating the rail portion of your trip.
For more details on the rail portion, please consult the Legal information page of SBB. For more detail on the flight portion, please consult Air Canada's General Conditions of Carriage and Tariffs.
