In an escalation of a pay dispute between Sydney train drivers and the NSW government, it has been announced that unless something changes, Sydney trains will stop running from Thursday night until Sunday.

I'm due to fly into Sydney for the weekend but I'm seriously considering cancelling if the trains are not running. I'm plannning to stay in Turramurra and if there are no trains, getting a taxi or rideshare from/to the airport will be frightfully expensive (probably more than what I paid for the flight!), not to mention how long the wait might be to catch one at all.

What do you think my chances are of Virgin waiving the $99 cancellation fee for my Choice fare if I ask (nicely) to cancel or change as a result of the train strike?
