Travellers with upcoming WestJet flights should be aware that travel insurance purchased after the potential strike dates were announced will likely not cover disruptions caused by a work stoppage. Experts indicate that most travel insurance policies require unforeseen events to be the trigger for coverage; a known, potential strike negates this. This means policies bought *after* the strike announcement won’t protect against cancellations or delays. Passengers hoping for coverage should have purchased insurance *before* the possibility of a strike was public. The situation highlights the importance of understanding policy terms and conditions. This limitation indicates travellers may need to rely on WestJet directly for rebooking or refunds should a strike occur.
