When i have used the Dreamliner on long trips from Vancouver to Asia, i have noticed i don't get as tired on this plane. They keep the humidity higher, and the air pressure better. Ex: instead of feeling you are at say 10,000 feet altitude, you only feel like at 6,000 ft. Makes a big difference. My figures may not be right, but you get the idea. It is about the same service, except there are two meals. Thanks for bringing back good memories.
Alex, I've watched my fair share of TH-cam aviation videos and I find your videos quite impressive! This was a masterclass of great videography mixed with enough entertainment to keep it interesting. Well done and thank you!
I flew on the WestJet 787-9 Dreamliner to Maui from Calgary in November 2019 and it was one of the best planes I've been on in my life. A really nice aircraft.
The best thing about the London to Calgary flight is that it takes off and lands at reasonable times. Compared to the all night Calgary to London. But I wish it went to Heathrow because the Piccadilly goes straight to our usual hotel quick, cheap and easy. We were thinking next fall but maybe this Oct or Nov might be a plan.
Hey Alex: This is your usual, very professional review. I have followed you since day one and apart from only a couple of early glitches, your videos are great to follow and I alway look forward to seeing them. Thank you for this one that was enjoyable and informative. Cheers, Colin.
Thank-you for sharing your flight experience with us, Alex. You certainly had the right seat for being so tall. Of course it is a shame that folks congregated in your space while waiting for the lavatory. I had a similar waiting experience for a flight from Brussels to JFK. The L-1011 had a broken refueling gizmo. We did board about 3 hours early, and I was able to watch the refueling crew use a hose to refuel via the wing top fuel access point. To keep everyone happy, the flight attendants started adult beverages flowing. As many have stated, that was an awesome bridge from which you could view the aircraft at the gates. If I ever have to fly out of Gatwick, I will be sure to build in time to do some plane spotting from there. It was nice that you were able to view Greenland as you chased the sun home. It is so much easier for me to cure jet lag when flying west for some reason. Again, thank-you for the video. I look forward to viewing your next post.
11:49 I'd have to agree with you. When I flew the exact same flight both ways in August 2019, I was thoroughly impressed with the complimentary meals on both flights.
I flew to and from Gatwick in March of 2020 (excellent timing I know) and I had the exact same service. The delay is common as I was delayed for 2 hours on my return flight as well. Its nice to see service like that on a building airline like WestJet. Can't wait to see how it improves.
Great vid. Based in YUL, I worked LGW for two summers (2014 and 2019) as an engineer for a Canadian airline. Good airport and great city. Can't wait to be posted back there.
I flew with Westjet from London to Ottawa via Halifax. Great flight,best price, and the food was good (butter chicken). That was on their 737 Max. My flight was october of 2019.
In 2019 when I went from yyc to Glasgow airport, my family had the middle seats with extra leg room. People always stepped on our feet and walked in front of us to get from one isle to another. It was quite satisfying when they got in trouble from the flight attendants
nice video. You narrate nicely and show lots of interesting aspects of a stopover. I live in Calgary but have not been on a plane since 2005. I am currently disabled and just think it would be to much of a headache to try to fly. So for people like me, your videos allow us to live vicariously thru your videos, and it feels like we are right there with you enjoying the flight. Thank you very much
p.s.- I dont know if westjet is paying you to say only good words. But that meal in economy looks rather disgusting, so when I heard you praise the food, I thought for sure they were paying you to make this video
@@jamesbrunette3093 in my experience the food in economy class usually looks disgusting but actually tastes pretty alright. So I wasn’t too surprised when he said that the meal was good.
Its interesting how alex called a 5 hour layover long cuz i had to spend 9 hours in Amsterdam with 0 delays at all. That was enough time for 2 787-9s to arrive and turn around, both to Mexico City, and then even more time for our plane to get a couple of new seats. I did get some nice pictures of aircraft near our gate. It was something i will never forget
Thanks for the great video! I was curious to see just what Westjet's Transatlantic economy service is like! Very impressive! At least they give you the choice of having a pre dinner beverage before the meal service, unlike AC, which I find very tacky! Also, the meals look a lot more appealing. I will definitely give Westjet a try next time!
Great video. Just a general comment. I never will understand why airlines started charging for exit door seats. I used to be for ABP's that could help in a possible emergency if crew became incapacitated.
@@JM-lg6qe What do you mean? I'm genuinely curious, I haven't heard of any major scandals, and aside from ripping you off on a short haul flights, much the same as aircanada their pretty good.
Couldn't agree more about them being the best Canadian airline. My family avidly uses aeroplan and thus air miles - we have a ton saved up, and so we almost always fly AC. Westjet has always been a breath of fresh air - always felt less cramped, cleaner and overall, I just felt way better about it compared to AC. When AC introduced Rouge, that's what immediately sold me on Westjet. Rouge really isn't much cheaper compared to the old AC flights, and any routes now served by Rouge have no standard AC service.
We are just looking at booking flights for Vancouver with West Jet, after seeing your review, am so excited to fly with them now, thank you for your video.
I've made the mistake of booking the front row of economy on a BA 787 (9 across just like WestJet). The already narrow seat from the 9 across density was even narrower due to the table and TV taking up armrest room. Last year I was lucky enough to fly in economy on a JAL 787 where it's only 8 seats across. So much better!
It looked a hell of a lot roomier than that awful 777 10 seats layout. Nicely done Alex I am also a WestJet fan. I am pleasantly surprised that they sort of managed to hang in during the Covid years. Gosh, speaking about unfortunate timing. The people I know that work for WestJet are very proud that they are, and I wish them good luck and an A+ for tenacity. Thank Alex for making me forget for 16 minutes and 2 seconds that the world is on fire. Greetings from YVR
Excellent video, Alex! I loved the skybridge which the planes taxi under. Incredible, and unusual close-ups of the Norwegian and WJ planes passing under! Awesome! I can only think of PHX (Phoenix) as another airport with that kind of bridge. I miss flying....I haven't flown since 2006! 😢
That's cool that they give you a voucher if the plane is late. Taking this plane Toronto to London in Sept. 2021 I will also be in economy. Great review
Awesome video mate !!!! Westjet is awesome, had a great experience on there 767 series when they were flying it for the first time from YYZ to YYC !!!! Very friendly service, there flight attendants are the most customer friendly that I have experienced !!!! Cheers !!!!
Brilliant video just what we needed as my wife and I are flying out to Calgary then finally Saskatoon on the 25th This month with first time for me on West-jet normally Air Canada 🇨🇦 cheers 🍻
I enjoyed this video enormously. Very impressed with Westjet and also the narrator.I will definately give them a try when restrictions have been lifted from Gatwick to Toronto. Thanks again sir.🙂
Now that I live in Switzerland again, next time I wanna visit Calgary I'm gonna look into going through Gatwick and fly Westjet for the big leg of the trip! (Unless Edelweiss brings back the direct ZRH-YYC route, then I'll prefer the direct flight ;-)
@@Guerry-3 just to add to this, I've flown both and actually prefer Edelweiss. I prefer Air Canada over Swiss as well for international. Somehow that one time I did fly Swiss, I just didn't like it. Maybe I'll have to give them another chance :)
@@iogurtli Thank-you for your recommendation. From reviews, I received the impression that Swiss's service, etc. was just short of Lufthansa (my choice for European travel from the States). I have often thought of using Air Canada as second choice for flying to Europe.
Had a similar experience with delays when taking TS outta gatwick. Spent nearly all day at the airport lol. Though while spotting I was able to find my gate by chance before anyone else.
First off, excellent video man! As a fellow YYC’r I am pretty excited to fly this route once things calm down. I always saw it pre pandemic but never had the time or money to really go. Seems like WJ does a pretty good on job long haul. I flew YYC to YOW and back a couple weeks ago on some sort of 737NG and the cabin was way too cramped, not enough over head bin capacity, late (due to unforeseen mechanical problems), and boarding was disorganized both times. I think both times they were overbooked.
I am glad you had a decent experience with WestJet. I flew from Edinburgh to Calgary (via Halifax/Toronto). It was a nightmare trip. I was sent to the wrong gate by the agent.. almost missed my flight after asking everyone who looked like an employee where my plane was supposed to be (thanks to last-minute departure gate notifications.. like WTF?) No one told me I had to download the WestJet app for inflight entertainment, so no movies for me. Tried to download the app by paying for internet, but the bandwidth was so slow, I couldn't download the app in time before the paid half-hour expired. Food was only for sale on the plane; they ran out of everything mid-atlantic. Had to clear customs in Halifax.. almost missed my plane yet again. No time for a meal there or in Toronto due to tight timings. I flew Condor to Europe on the way there.. and wished that I had used them for the return trip as well. WestJet is no better than Air Canada in my opinion. Maybe it's different now, who knows.. but it left a permanent bad taste in my mouth for WestJet.
@6:55 spoiler auto bias up for flap deployment. Because of the tight tolerance between the spoiler panels and flaps, the spoilers are biased up when flaps are selected from the up position to prevent damage to either the flaps and spoiler panels.
Would love to see an updated version of this trip now that we're post COVID and now it seems that Calgary flights from London are only going from Heathrow!
I've been through and around Gatwick dozens of times and you hold the best opinions of it by far! The gap between the north and south terminal is annoying for me but I'm sure you'd find many things to enjoy about it. The other decent thing about the airport is it's easy to get to by train. And to top it off you got to see LCY and what looked like LHR traffic on your way out?
I love how they have that dedicated little mini train between the two terminals at Gatwick. As for getting to London itself, I always take the "ThamesLink" train to St.Pancras station.
There's a reason the paid upgrades are really expensive - its the UK Air Passenger Duty that costs 170 GBP for anything above economy - an additional 96 GBP above economy.
One thing, maybe not all that important, but I think that you also had the windows that have the liquid crystals, where you can push the buttons, and darken the windows. First time I saw those was in 2018, Air Canada 777, from Vancouver to Ichon, South Korea 😊
Once again another great video. Westjet looks like a really good airline.. Hope you make it to Phoenix this week for the airliner's International convention.
Watching this video makes me think back to when I went on first airplane in 12 years a few weeks back when I moved from Calgary to Halifax and watching this video makes me miss my experience flying and the amazing city Calgary. Otherwise, amazing video man!!
I actually have always enjoyed time spent in Gatwick and Heathrow, what awesome places to people watch world traveller's coming and going. I thought your inflight plane info was very useful especially regarding seat selection as a strategy to get more space for less $. I also enjoyed your seat screen detail and utility info vs just drooling over the inflight food service, which in economy, is never rarely worth writing home about.
Every year I go to France, and when we fly from Paris back to Montreal, if the flight is delayed, we are for sure missing our flight back to Quebec. We always have to almost sprint to the other side of the airport just to make it, even if the flight isn't delayed
Hi Alex, it's my first ever viewing of your videos and I instantly like it so much that I did not do any fast forward. Really professional yet enjoyable. Subscribed.
That's nice of west jet I've only had one flight out of 12 prior to boarding a domestic flight they held us behind the gate for 35 mins after the set time to board other then that there really good and friendly 👍
My wife and I will be rebooking our UK vacation at some point, and Gatwick will be our destination (planning on WS there and back). I'll look forward to spending some time on that bridge doing some spotting of my own!
$50 dollar vouchers? For a 3 hour delay? Westjet is so nice. For the same delay, Air Canada gave us $10 at YVR, not the best place to spend 3 hours waiting (maybe I don't know where to look though).

Hey Alex Praglow✈ski Aviation Have A Wonderful Flight
Very nicely done. Good video, informative, well-written, well-delivered narration. And the skybridge footage was neat!
Nice 👍 WestJet 787 economy class service looks alright✅! From Edmonton Canada 🇨🇦.
Bridge over taxing lines is amazing! Wow
I’ve read from others that this is a phenomenal flight.
I love Westjet's logo of a Maple Leaf ! Too bad no other airline thought of that.......wait a minute.....
Glad to have found this channel. Such well made videos, thanks.
Super great report.
So clear and perfectly informative.
Loved it 👍🙂👌
One of your best videos! Very informative as always. Yes, the airport skybridge is really cool.
Another awesome video Alex! Awesome footage from the bridge.
Every year I go to France, and when we fly from Paris back to Montreal, if the flight is delayed, we are for sure missing our flight back to Quebec. We always have to almost sprint to the other side of the airport just to make it, even if the flight isn't delayed

Love your thoroughness.

I flew this route about a million years ago on Canadian airlines. Westjet looks a lot more comfy.
Great trip report Alex! Would love to fly the WS787 one day, and that bridge is probably even better in person!
I have a picture of the plane you flew on! I took it as I was taxiing in a CRJ from Calgary to San Francisco.
I'm watching your video, simply because the flight at 3:08...is mine lol
Very good video. I was very impressed with the meal esp the S.P. Looked wonderful.
That's nice of west jet I've only had one flight out of 12 prior to boarding a domestic flight they held us behind the gate for 35 mins after the set time to board other then that there really good and friendly 👍
My wife and I will be rebooking our UK vacation at some point, and Gatwick will be our destination (planning on WS there and back). I'll look forward to spending some time on that bridge doing some spotting of my own!
That chocolate pudding is the same we received in biz on AA from Venice to Philadelphia this past summer lol.
Yes, the 787 is a nice aircraft. I've flown on several Hainan airlines 787s. Haven't had the chance to fly on any other 787s.
Thanks, I am going to Rome July. Thanks for the advice
The cabin is pretty with those colors!
$50 dollar vouchers? For a 3 hour delay? Westjet is so nice. For the same delay, Air Canada gave us $10 at YVR, not the best place to spend 3 hours waiting (maybe I don't know where to look though).
OMG, i love the dreamliner wing flex. Very cool video.
Thank you for the video.
Glad to hear you won't be flying Transat again
Great tip report. Thanks Alex.
I have to go to Gatwick now just for the skybridge
definitely will give it a shot from toronto to london when things are back t normal
