Thanks for making this video , I'm flying for the first time in 30 years and I had never heard of WestJet . I'm going from Las Vegas to Toronto to visit family and they made the arrangements . Glad to know they have leg room , I'm 6'3 .
Are you going to do a video about an airline in NYC soon? I think I just saw you on 34th street. Tried to say hi but was driving! Great videos, by the way!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, that was most likely probably me 😂. I didn’t film any of my flights in n out of New York, mostly since I had already filmed those aircraft, but man, what a small world.
The first few economy rows on the Boeings are Extended Comfort Seats w/ 3-6” more pitch (the 737s have around 34” and the other Boeings, excluding ex-Swoop Max 8s, have up to around 36”) and up to 3” more recline.
OMG you were in Calgary Canada Yeeee Haaaa 🤠. Hope you visit your Canadian friends more often. Love your text talk on this one & I learned about cross wind take offs. Stay safe 😎
Love that you flew them in economy from Calgary. I love to ski -- and have considered flying them one of my trips. This -- and a look at the weirdness of the Calgary airport -- was helpful. Great video as always!
I may be biased as I have pretty much only flown WestJet, with a couple flights on AC, but my experience with them has been great. Their premium seats and treatment is very good, and the 787 is very nice to fly on.
Alaska Airlines sources their seats from a major manufacturer of airline seats called Recaro. Many other airlines use the same seats, and this Westjet plane definitely looks like one of them. Pretty sure I’ve also seen the same seats on United’s A320s.
Great Video and good perspective with your review. Despite you don't drink alcohol or ordered any food, it would be great to mention if they do have an in-fligh menu or options to order other drinks... since I was in Premium class I know they had bubblies, wine and soft drinks in addition to a snack box for that cabin... I had the chance to fly in Premium cabin and economy, and you are absolutely right, the feeling of AS is there... however, I do prefer AS of WS and I prefer WS way over AC. Recently had the chance to fly WS from YOW to YYZ (40min flight) at 6am and let me tell you that I have much better service in WS Premium Cabin than DL from YYZ to ATL (2hrs flight)
My initial impression is WestJet was the Canadian version of Southwest Airlines. But here,you mention first class seating,787's and routes to Hawaii and Europe so obviously the SWA model wasn't working for Canadians.Seeing those FC seats,now you have an excuse to do another trip report on this airline. My home airport being IAH,I believe WestJet flies to Calgary from here--my bucketlist includes flying WestJet to Vancouver via Calgary. I wish more countries would do the US pre-clearance thing,it makes it so much easier for US citizens--knowing French is the second language in Canada,really odd to be deep into US airspace,hearing the FA make landing announcements in French,wondering if that is mandatory for Canadian flight crews? Will we see your trip to visit family in Guanajuato? Interesting,a US naturalized citizen,by way of Mexico,waking up in a hotel in Calgary where French is standard! :)
@jasonmoors1191 French is not standard in Calgary and especially not in a hotel. Hardly anybody in Calgary speaks French as their 1st language. Although French is an official language in Canada it is rarely encountered or needed to communicate outside of PQ, although there is also a large French population in MB.
Can i let you in on a little secret.... If your a Person that fly's first flight out or mid morning or red eye flights,etc never order water unless its bottled or coffee in flight, Think about where the water comes to make the coffee, etc? If they don't pour it out of the bottle water most likely come from the gray tank that you use to wash your hands in the bathroom. Which that to is not safe to drink,etc.
Hey question! During the check in and boarding. Did they ever check your carry on if they meet their size limitations? I have a Monos Carry on Pro Plus which is slightly bigger than most limitations but works fine with United and Alaska. Idk how thatll go with WestJet…
I"m 58,6'1" and can't afford to sit up front--I don't fly enough to earn mileage awards to have a complimentary FC seat--I would consider a domestic premium economy seat though
Westjet airlines cant take you all city like maui ogg and Ohoa hnl and Nevada las and mbj and fll airport and Hawaii and new York and jumba and westjet hometown airports is yyc and Toronto airport and Vancouver too

Boeing sky interior is not standard on the 737 NG’s I assume it costs extra. On the max, it is Standard.
cost savings for sure (i work there)

I actually love seeing the spoilers opening and closing 7:53
I flew on their 787 from Toronto to Calgary in November of 2021 - It was magical :D

How did you change your seat at the last minute like that? Did you just ask the stewardess? I’m going to try that trick!
15:14: I heard that they're transforming back into a LCC again..
Yes they are transforming back to low cost airline again.
You wore Breeze mask 😂 still supporting David Neeleman
Their seats look exactly like Alaska’s…
But better 😂
And the interior
there similar, just a bit different in detail

I think I'll try to fly on WestJet Airlines I've never been on it before maybe I should try it out I do hope it has first class
if you think the calgary airport is bad for the US section, cpme deal with the Edmonton International Airport for the US section.

How long is the flight to Las Vegas how is the trip?
Flew on the westjet 737 and max.
Great airline, the cabin on 787, looks so beautiful, hope to see you trying it soon. Awesome video! ✈️👏🏼
Is west jet any good? I mean its made by the founder of JetBlue
Never drink Coffee on the plane. They have tested the water tanks. Found traces of E-Coli. My mom stopped getting coffee on the plane once i told her
Nice trip report like always. Hope to fly WestJet one day, I've only done Air Canada.
You support thieves do you !? 🙄
Did it piss you off when the taxi guy said that it was good your u to walk in the beginning of the video?
Noticed how it goes CBA and not ABC like US airlines have it
Also never knew that about the spoilers
I stayed at Aria which I can see in the background
Awesome video!
Hello!
Quick question: you must purchase their wifi to access their entertainment catalogue, correct?
No, the entertainment catalogue is complimentary!

The crew has to legally give all safety announcements in both English and French in Canada, as they are the two official languages.

10:43 i didn't know episode 9 of the office was that bad
Great video.
I am from Calgary, thanks so much. In my opinion, what WestJet lacks in beautiful cabins, they make up for with kind flight attendants 👩 👨 🌈 🏳️🌈
From where to where?
The pilot sounds very Canadian 😂😂😂🇨🇦🍁
What exactly does a Canadian sound like ?
This is not a Max, for someone making airline reviews should understand the difference. Which is why you see no sky-line.
Never specifically mentioned this was a max, unless it was by accident… I even mentioned how none of the NGs in their fleet have sky interior
Does Westjet have any 737s (whether NG or MAX) that have the Boeing Sky Interior, but not the bigger Space Bins?
Just the max have sky interior/space bins. As far as I am aware none of the NG fleet have it

Does Westjet have any 737s remaining with the old eurobusiness Premium seats?
Yes, there are still a few left over, especially on the -700s, but they are quickly being retrofitted. I would say the majority now has the new seats.
I wonder if any of the MAXes lack BSI
nope.
Amazing video as always!😸
Hey question! During the check in and boarding. Did they ever check your carry on if they meet their size limitations? I have a Monos Carry on Pro Plus which is slightly bigger than most limitations but works fine with United and Alaska. Idk how thatll go with WestJet…
Did you have any issues with your bags?
@@nicoledburns82 i did not!
@@ericnguyen7554 thank you. I'm flying westjet in a few months and trying to get luggage figured out for carry on.
@@nicoledburns82 yea they were honestly pretty chill!
@@ericnguyen7554 thank you
Great review but this is why I no longer fly economy. I am 66 years old and 6'3" and not interested in the cramped seating. Your funny, Thanks
I"m 58,6'1" and can't afford to sit up front--I don't fly enough to earn mileage awards to have a complimentary FC seat--I would consider a domestic premium economy seat though
How did you find out about the open seat 5 minutes before flying? And how did you change your assigned seat at the last minute? Thanks!!
Looks like 737 max
First! :) Great video once again!
Westjet airlines cant take you all city like maui ogg and Ohoa hnl and Nevada las and mbj and fll airport and Hawaii and new York and jumba and westjet hometown airports is yyc and Toronto airport and Vancouver too
Nasir Road
The 737 is pure misery flying to Hawaii. At least get a window seat so you can lean on the wall.
Not a fan of WestJet. Always the most uncomfortable.
Questionable reg on this bird 🤔
WorstJet😅
As long as its not Spirit Airlines....
