I’m Canadian, and I grew up with WestJet I’m so proud of them for growing into the brand they are now and I am so excited where this aircraft will take them in the future!
I also like them a bit but when I went up north to Yellowknife we got delayed 2.5 days and lost our suitcases. But we got to Yellowknife on Christmas Eve and we got our suitcases back. 5/10 experience
JayJay Planes&Things at this point, based on their cabin interior, prices, and business model they really aren’t. They’re now trying to compete with air canada at about the same prices for the same product.
Not a LCC, in aviation they would considered a 'Value Carrier'. In terms of price they are on par with AC on most routes only plus or minus a few dollars. They're new business class product is priced similarly to most airlines crossing the Atlantic and the premium product on the 787, much like AC offering, is over priced. Nobody is going to pay $3k for premium economy when for a few hundred more they can be in business. Both AC and WS have pitched the price of their premium economy really badly, so much so that you can often find a business ticket cheaper than a premium economy ticket on the same flight. This conundrum originally seemed just to be the preserve of AC but now with the 787 WS have copied this aspect of their business. I like WS but I always feel they are trying to match AC but that's the wrong approach because AC are terrible to begin with.
Took this plane from Dublin to Calgary yesterday. Very impressed, not only by the jet and its interior, but the staff on board are so pleasant and the services were great.
Alex, you're a legend! I've literally been refreshing youtube every 10 minutes all day to find a video like this. Great video, I love you got closeups of all cabins to see legroom etc. Cheers!
As an American, I love your wonderful country! I have not had the opportunity to fly in the B787 however I have traveled with WestJet several times. Treated me like family. Wonderful airline.
The legendary Westjet plus a Canadian airline, great job, Westjet if your reading this great job on the business classes very well designed. I hope to see you on the Westjet 787 Dreamliner :) Love you Westjet. Plus I take your airline everywhere we go on vacation. Good luck Westjet 😁
Great video Alex. WestJet is gonna be fierce competition with their 787s. I also think that their business class seats with the drop down partition in the middle is much better then ours and will be appreciated by many travellers. Well done.
What a stunning aircraft! You sure were lucky to tour this beauty! It'll be exciting to see these around more. Although it does bare a striking resemblance to Air Canada's 787 layout, which I enjoyed flying on back in 2016. Awesome video! Keep up the great work!
I've flown Air Canada's 787 business class multiple times. WestJet's appears to be identical except for the color choices. Frankly, so what; it's a fantastic business class pod.
Stunning video Alex! I didn’t expect such a presentation, you made a wonderful video presentation of a wonderful plane and cabin. WestJet did it’s homework and saw you as a great videographer that you are!
Thank you so much for this! I've been looking forward to seeing the finished product for these planes after all of the lead up and they certainly do not disappoint. I'm so happy for Westjet. I actually get the opportunity to travel on one of the new dreamliners in May while they're still on the domestic route, so pumped!
Was it open to the public or just for certain people/reporters/bloggers? A very nice looking airplane. Even economy looks like a decent amount of legroom, compared to other economy products available in the industry. Very nice video!
I just booked Dreamliner row 14th and according to westjet online legend it suppose to be extra leg room but I do not see it in your video, all economy looks the same, is that right?
Beautiful & very comfortable looking interior! Fantastic job, WestJet! If the price is competitively less than flying nonstop to Europe from Seattle, I’d consider connecting in Calgary to fly with WestJet’s 787’s! These beautiful birds were built just 7 miles from my house near Paine Field! You could add a flight from PAE - YYC... that would be a dream connection to Eastern Canada and Europe! 🇺🇸 😊 🇨🇦
is this in just certain areas or is it in the entire plane? If it is just in business or first class I would spring the extra cash just to fly in this type of comfort
You should include more information on the technical aspects of the aircraft. Like engines, fuel burn, cabin pressure, etc. There was lots of dead space in your video where this kind of information could have been given.
yvr2002rtw I’ve also flown on AC’s 787 Max, Premium Economy, on that route. That was far superior to AC Rouge! But I really do want to give the WestJet Dreamliner a try. ✈️
Yes, it is! To start we'll be flying YYC-YYZ then Gatwick (LGW) flights will start April 28th. ...also Paris (CDG) in May and Dublin (DUB) in June! Come fly with us!
Love the business class but the premium class is just too expensive for what they are offering. It seems like they've pegged themselves too much to AC. Over $3k in premium economy to DUB? No thanks.
That’s great but not everyone can afford first class or business class. I would love to be up there but I can only afford economy and that is expensive for me too.
Great presentation Alex, I like the voice over as compared to graphics. Hard to read and watch video sometimes. Just curious about the seat pitch, especially economy. Thank you
