Some WestJet passengers are finding success with air travel again after a flight attendants strike grounded flights and travel plans. Nicole Ross was supposed to fly out to Barcelona Saturday, but after her flight got rebooked five times she was finally set to leave Tuesday evening. “It’s been really, really frustrating,” Ross told CityNews, saying her time in Barcelona has been shortened to a single night as a result of the strike. Edmontonian Sarah Kennett was supposed to fly to London on Sunday but that was changed to Tuesday. Kennett is travelling with her mother and stepfather and says she spent $700 among the three of them for accommodations.
