WestJet Strike Leaves Canadians Stranded | Toronto News

WestJet flight attendants ended their strike with a tentative deal, but travelers are still reeling from the fallout—hundreds of flights canceled left families stranded across Iceland, Scotland, and Mexico. The Santos family in Iceland faced sky-high hotel bills despite WestJet’s promise to cover costs, while the Peace family in Scotland was split up and hit with $2K–$3K in extra expenses after poor communication and failed rebookings. Meanwhile, the Lucas couple from Calgary couldn’t board their new flight due to visa issues for the wife, who’s Mexican, and keep getting cut off by customer service. Advocates say passengers should buy their own tickets and demand reimbursement—or risk legal action. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
