I flew on a 787 from Honolulu to Tokyo in 2017. That was one of the most pleasant experiences I have ever had in a commercial jet. Very roomy and comfortable.
Great 👍 WestJet on starting to using Boeing 787 Dreamliner just like Air Canada, already uses Beoing 787-8 and 787-9. I flown on Hainan Airlines between Calgary and Beijing China 2017 on a 787 Dreamliner and it was comfortable plane ✈️ to be on for trip to China 🇨🇳.
I was disappointed when my direct flight from Saskatoon to Toronto was changed to go to Calgary. However, flying back to Toronto on this new Dreamliner was well worth it!! Such a smooth experience!
Hello Westjet, my name is Lucas I’m 9 years old your airline is a legendary airline to me your 787 Dreamliner changed my life I haven’t bin on it. But i hope I will be on the 787 Dreamliner the seats are very very well designed. I am Lucas Ha, a Canadian boy a 4th grader. I take Westjet thank you for changing my life.
Hi Lucas, We're happy to hear that you like our Dreamliner. We think it's pretty cool too. Hopefully you'll have a chance to ride on it one day. If you're ever booked on a flight on the Dreamliner, be sure to let us know. Hope you have an awesome week!
ONT is a small airport where nobody would fly too... I think LAX is a good airport to fly to. Besides, who would fly on a huge plane like this to a tiny city in California ? It would be useless.
He forgot to add in, that they start Domestic flights between Toronto and Calgary using WestJet 787 sometime in mid February 2019, before Calgary to Europe flights in Summer 2019.
SUPER excited about this! We are busy immigrating to Canada, and we purchased our first ticket with Westjet to get us from Toronto to Calgary. We are hoping to find a good flight with Westjet from London to Toronto too! Awesome work and super excited about the direct flight from Calgary... 👏🏻
When I toured the Boeing factory the first Dreamliner wasn’t even off the production line yet. They were literally still putting the plane together when I was there!
I’ll be in premium in August! Can’t wait... first ever non economy flight and first ever long haul flight as an adult (I went to the US as a kid!) and also first ever trip to Canada!!
It looks great! I wish you had more direct flights out off Atlanta (I am unfortunately not Canadian) I flew from ATL to YYC with you guys and it was superb.
I am excited to try this Dreamliner comes Sept.. going to London Gatwick direct flight.. woohoo!! fortunate enough to have book my flight during their winter sale! Hoping their meals will be awesome as well!
Meals will be included on all 787 flights across the Atlantic, regardless of cabin flown. Each seat will also have a blanket and pillow. @@andreamendes8145
On narrow body aircraft that's the case, but on wide body aircraft like the 787 Dreamliner, the entry door is part way down the side of the aircraft, so anyone flying in the Economy cabin would turn right and walk directly into that cabin, while guests sitting in Premium or Business would turn left to get to their seats.
Like most 787 with 3-3-3 seat economy configuration it must be an unconfortable sardine can. It's called Dreamliner just because it makes profit for the airlines.
Great choice of aircraft. I'll be checking for connections at Calgary from the US southwest. Air Canada had some of the best fares to Europe with a connection in Toronto. If I recall it was a Jazz CRJ from Phoenix to Toronto, as well as a United 737-800 landing in Toronto yet offering great fares onto Paris or London on the same Air Canada flight. I hope WestJet will test the same market
CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!! I know Southwest is looking to fly over to Great Britain with their new MAX’s, I know they keep themselves on the 737, but would love to see them get 5-10 787-8’s to scurry over the pond, but it would mess with their business model, but I think it would be worth it for them.
Took 18 people from IAH to Winnipeg and back a couple of months ago and I was very impressed with your airline. We were on older 737 and it was nice compared to SWA.
They are greedy and 2+4+2=8 while 3+3+3=9. I flew in one of those 3-3-3 787-9 SardineLiners and it was the most unconfortable plane I have flown in 25 years.
@@brucebaker3523 maybe for economy, but the thing is, business class makes the most money per square foot/unit, and it is thus the most profitable part of a plane. So as a person who flies economy most of the time, I feel you, 3-3-3 is not the nicest, but in the case of an airline that could be facing bankruptcy --because airlines are not that profitable-- it generates more money, (while business generates more) and it is essential for the Boeing 787 dreamliner to be profitable.
If you identify as cattle, you will continue to be treated that way. Alternatively, you can strive to move up in the world to sit in business class. I just suck it up and travel to get business done. You decide what you will become.
Given I no longer fly AC, this is welcome news. The hard product is awesome, looking forward to the soft product and service. Will give it a run this Summer. Congratulations WestJet!
Listen handsome man, how on earth can you promote 3-3-3 cabin on the 787? It was designed for 8-abreast. When you sat in the seat talking about legs pace, did you see your shoulders sticking out? Sitting shoulder to shoulder, unless with your partner is really uncomfortable on a long-haul flight. Will avoid any airline with a 9-abreast dreamliner on long-haul.
It was designed for 9. You think Boeing specifically designed for less seats for airlines that want a return on investment? Just purchase a business class if you want more space but don't expect a cheap fair but a first class experience
No, if Boeing was smart enough, they would of designed the 787 fuselage wider like the Airbus 350. The new 777x will have thinner walls inside, because most airlines went from 9-abreast to 10-abreast making the 777 also very uncomfortable for long-haul nowadays. The majority won't fly business as most of companies don't pay this anymore so don't say stupid things like buy a business class. There is such thing as being reasonable, knowing that people getting bigger, it is questionable how far seat width should be reduced.
I can’t stand everything about commercial airline travel. The tight seating, the noise, the clear air turbulence, the danger of fire or crashing, the expense, the high altitude radiation, and the security screenings just to name a few. I will only fly if I absolutely have to.
