Good news for Canadians travelling to SXM on WestJet. Although there were some flight cancellations, the last couple days, a strike has been averted with an 11th hour deal. https://www.cbc.ca/amp/1.6848875Dr. Phil Sxm

Westjet has permanently cancelled all daily flights from Ottawa to Toronto and other points to the east. They now only have one flight in the evening which means I would have to overnight in Toronto. Instead of my flight being 5 hours, it is now over 30 hours to get to SXM. I am not a happy camper! Westjet is now concentrating on flights to western Canada! They have even cancelled their usual flights to Europe so they are going to be losing a lot of business because of their terrible decisions. I feel they will still be losing a lot of their pilots too as they won't need them any longer. The pilots are still not truly satisfied with the results of their negotiations and will be seeking employment with other airlines.

That might be possible, but it adds an extra $500 on to the price. In November I paid $611 from ottawa to SXM and now the cost is close to $2000! With all the inconveniences of air travel today, these prices are off the charts!
