Air Transat Strike

[Fouremco]

Air Transat flight attendants have voted to strike as early as January. We have a family cruise in January, with different members holding bookings on WestJet, Porter and Air Transat. Hopefully the labour issue will be resolved by then, or the strike is delayed until after our return date.

Oh dear, direct flights from Halifax to Fort Lauderdale are few and far between.

 

If you are worried, you might want to book fully refundable seats on another airline. If the strike is on in April, you'll still get to your ship without a worry. If the strike doesn't happen in April, you can fly Air Transat and cancel your other tickets for a full refund.
