Please visit the official websites of AccesRail and Renfe Viajeros for more information.
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 Renfe Viajeros.
For more detail on the flight portion, please consult Air Canada's General Conditions of Carriage and Tariffs.
