## Resource

WestJet’s preparing for possible labor chaos this weekend—and they’re giving travelers a lifeline: free changes or cancellations for flights booked by August 4. While cash refunds won’t be offered (since labor disputes fall outside airline control), you’ll get rebooked on the next available flight—or with a partner airline—within 48 hours, or a refund if that’s not possible. Keep checking WestJet’s travel advisory page and review your insurance or credit card perks, as some may cover disruptions. If you booked directly with WestJet, they’ll email you; for third-party bookings, contact those providers. Air Canada is also stepping in to help rebook travelers not yet accommodated by WestJet—or you can buy a new ticket through them.
