## Resource

WestJet flight attendants are voting on a potential strike that could disrupt travel between July 30 and August 4 — and if it happens, you’re urged to reschedule non-essential trips. Airlines and rental cars will be in high demand, and your original flight date isn’t guaranteed. But here’s the twist: if WestJet cancels your flight proactively, you actually gain more rights — including rebooking on another airline, refunds (though experts say hold off), meals, hotels, and even up to $1,000 in compensation. International travelers get even stronger protections under the Montreal Convention, potentially covering lost wages or missed events. So, wait and see — a cancellation might be your best bet for a smoother ride. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
