Airlines such as JetBlue and KLM canceled hundreds of flights, while other carriers like Air Canada and WestJet allowed rebooking. Travellers faced unexpected costs for extended stays, car rentals, lodging, and missed connections, demonstrating how sudden geopolitical events can create unanticipated claims for travel insurers.
