BA - Travel Insurance Valid During Strike?
The good news is we're going on a last-minute safari. The bad news is that I unwisely booked the LHR-NBO portion of our trip on BA (because I got a good deal on Premium Economy). The travel insurance company says that because the labor dispute is a "known event," we will not be covered if we can't get to NBO and we miss all or part of our safari. Now that there is an injunction against the strike, does anyone know of a travel insurance company that would cover additional expenses caused by cancellations or delays?

Update
I was able to change our tickets for the earlier flight with connection; we would have to wake up extremely early. That was the only way to do without re-arranging hotels ect.
On the bright side, the same agent changed our returning flight from London to the airport closest to our hometown (I do not have to drive 1.5 but only 35 min.!) originally I decided against it because of the price difference $250 a ticket.
Keep in mind for those of you who still need to change your tickets -- I was on hold for more that an hour. Be patient! Put the phone on speaker and clean your bathroom (that's what I did!)

They put me on Lufthansa for the segment Prague-London (with connection in Frankfurt). That was the only morning flight.
We wanted to spend whole day in London (re-visit the city where we lived for 3 years and see some friends) and fly back to the US the day after. My DD1 has a full day schedule and made people stay in town for her ROYAL visit!
