Inside WestJet's Brand New 787-9 Dreamliner

[@westjet]

Thanks again for joining us, Alex! Your video captures tail 901 so well. See you again soon.

[@michaelrogers1344]

Nice to see WestJet reaching out.

[@chadwatson110]

Very nice! WestJet has an impressive DreamLiner ! Love the layout of the business class cabin!

[@Janellelynnmayo]

Please include a Calgary to Tokyo route with this model!

[@aquamor1218]

YVR to HND or NRT please

[@adampotrykus]

WestJet Can’t wait to try the biz class! Done the premium LONDON - TORONTO @ 767 and the service was fab 787 must be such a step up!

[@Token_Nerd]

Westjet is really upping their game. They should join Skyteam or Oneworld to increase their recognition. They aren’t a LCC anymore.

[@JayJayAviation]

They are still a LCC

[@Token_Nerd]

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.

[@armslides2105]

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.

[@Henri.Virallinen]

Well they are effectively a Skyteam carrier now anyway, even if not officially

[@CJetsPlanespotting]

Oh my gosh, that aircraft is outstandingly gorgeous!

[@steendful]

All I can say is"WOW". That's a dream flying to a dream♡

[@steendful]

I wonder if I can get that plane to take me to Cuba from Halifax in May? It would be the most luxurious 4 hour flight♡

[@wizardgaming669]

I fly both WestJet and Air Canada regularly and am so happy to see this. I won't be forced to use air Canada as often now.

[@353adam]

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.

[@sphartle]

My wife played a huge part in organizing this event, so I love this video so I can see the work she did!

[@MrJonsied]

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!

[@gimics4966]

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 😁

[@suhailshafi]

Absolutely AMAZING product. I am sure this airline will fly high and high with this incredible aircraft !

[@andersdrakkar]

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!

[@MarcvanExel]

The colours of the interior are fantastic. Well done WestJet and Alex for the great video!

[@CharlieND]

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!

[@roxychickw49]

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!

[@lyandancer6031]

How was it?

[@klynnmartin1544]

Can't wait to fly on this plane. Love WestJet!

[@JamesWhiteszln6z]

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.

[@Jman2245]

Ur comment is very contradicting

[@JamesWhiteszln6z]

I have no clue what you’re referring to as contradictory.

[@AlexandreGalinMtl]

The cabin design is simply spectacular.

[@heathergrantham5585]

Phenomenal video Alex! Thank You for presenting our new Dreamliner so well. #ProudWestJetter #Tail901

[@etops3987]

Simply an amazing interior love the colors and the dark colored suites.

[@RVNspotting]

Awesome tour! I'm sure the 787 will be a huge success for them!

[@JudithIrene]

THANK YOU for sharing your experience with us ... very impressive indeed :)

[@paddydowney6269]

Taking my family dublin-Calgary on the Dreamliner business this June; can’t wait!

[@Chr0mePisto1a]

Great video and nice job with the WestJet stuff. Cheers !

[@krisaustria4962]

This plane is so good! That will be my favorite airplane!

[@jaypainespotter]

I just drove past KPAE, 2 more Westjet 787's are sitting at the delivery center!

[@mackenzieb2218]

ahhhh a beautiful aircraft for my favorite airline!

[@ilonka4079]

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?

[@Grey-mo6jw]

Great video!

[@AhmedIbrahim-mv8kc]

Sad it’s not coming to edmonton Calgary is lucky

[@saranshchaudhary5228]

Ahmed Ibrahim fellow edmontonian here and I’m just as dissapointed as you are 😐

[@isaiahkruse7769]

Best video hope to you fly it and maybe I will will get the chance someday

[@realcanadianrailfan110]

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!

[@heidibrunton3303]

Flying to Barcelona on the red eye. Will they be offering breakfast and what choices do we get. Can’t wait for this flight.

[@jaypainespotter]

Great job Alex!

[@ajc5869]

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!

[@ryanbaguna143]

I'm Canadian to and grew also on westjet

[@nhjhbvfggfvcf8508]

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

[@ktbryant]

It's really beautiful! Wish they would fly her to San Diego.

[@Elena-mk6bf]

Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner has 2 layouts. The one with 41 rows and another one with 57 rows. The one in your video has 41 rows?

[@MVHens]

Why did you not test/show the overhead luggage storage and the tray in economy?

[@AlexPraglowskiAviation]

See this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gqu3o6V6e9J_erM

[@wanderer410]

Good to hear how you sound man :)

[@christinegardiner4070]

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

[@tyjoseph7343]

Will you be on one of the inaugural flights? I’m flying out on the 20th! Cant wait to try their new business class product!

[@AlexPraglowskiAviation]

...Maybe ;)

[@alexibm2477]

Hello Alex,I aam Alex,and I am from Mexico,the sad thing is that I couldn´t see the Aeromexico Boeing 787-9 when it came to the fleet in 2016.

[@snowy7317]

Is this going to be flying to London Gatwick

[@heathergrantham5585]

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!

[@billn.1318]

Economy seats have not changed. Since the age of air buses. Only thing that changed is added touchscreen panels for movies.

[@iBrianRocks]

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! 🇺🇸 😊 🇨🇦

[@robyoungquist5803]

Beautiful business class cabin. 👍🏻

[@Zergcerebrates]

Nice interior cabin design and color.

[@kaieteurjohn8133]

I hope the in-flight service will match the beauty of the interior of this airline.

[@nicholasgallant3385]

Really wish I could of seen it!!

[@samuelmaltry6727]

I’m not a fan on 787 but wow looks absolutely stunning great video

[@lyandancer6031]

Can I ask why?

[@brilondon]

Great video Alex. You're very lucky to be able to get a look at the 787-9 like that.

[@Knockoutispc-pg2gy]

And there are grounded

[@bigfellaoo7]

Must go on one of these.

[@lundrat]

Nice video. I guess you were in there prior to the hoards

[@rodhogg8858]

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.

[@gerardacronin334]

I’m looking forward to flying YYC - DUB in that plane! Might even splurge for business class!

[@yvr2002rtw]

Better than Air Canada's low cost division, Rouge!! Avoid Rouge at all costs and go with Westjet to DUB.

[@gerardacronin334]

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. ✈️

[@mohammadF640]

very nice aircraft. however, the colors of the seats look dull

[@jamesbenner1406]

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

[@genechronister7085]

Nice

[@klayed]

very nice

[@barbaragroff7769]

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.

[@AhmedIbrahim-mv8kc]

Westjet should join oneworld

[@raphaelj.o.4628]

Amazing video and Review. Huge Like :)

[@BrownBoyCanadian]

Good give AC some competition

[@simentalsimental1741]

Does anybody know the name of the background music? Sounds like funeral music, I love funeral music. Thanks.

[@adriancasem4649]

I see Dasani. 😱

[@JayJayAviation]

Seat 1K? The 787 has more seats then the A380 in all economy!?

[@ccslai]

Wow...Alex actually talks!

[@idoldigikyryn1253]

When will they replace those old ass planes that have no screens and feel like the planes gonna fall out of the sky

[@rascallygoose4926]

The 737s actually had screens on the seats. But the WestJet app just made the screens obsolete

[@medernach]

Economy seats are regular airplane undersized. On an 8hr flight ... lol

[@iVince905]

Westjet must have something up their sleeve because Dublin, Paris and Barcelona are not ideal business class destinations.

[@juggaajerry]

Barcelona isn't getting the 789.

[@ronmarchetti3790]

6

[@OO-nd2kn]

For planes built for 9 hour plus flights, there not much rom for us regular customers. Too bad

[@samaudits6196]

Orly Oliverio little heavy huh

[@OO-nd2kn]

I’ll stick with Air Canada

[@TWTR4EVER]

SORRY Alex Praglowski Aviation overall a clear picture and adequate narrative but incomplete. You took no time to detail how many lavatories per Class of service and locations and position of serving galleys to determine seat selection. Please update. Thanks.

[@AlexPraglowskiAviation]

A fair assessment! We only had 30 minutes of access so there was bound to be stuff left out. Check back in a few days.

[@TWTR4EVER]

Thank you and keep up the good work :-)

[@davidkelly9817]

I dont understand the obsession west jet has with europe. It is heavily serviced with many airlines that have more frequent flights to more destinations and to be honest I think basing them out of calgary is an exspensive mistake .if I want to fly from toronto or east coast to europe I certainly dont want to fly backwards unless theprice is very good.why doesnt westjet look to asia? For example the phillapines we have so many filapino permanent residents never mind all their temporary workers and no canadian airline flies there?-they have the right to as phillapine air flies daily to vancouver and is planning to increase their service to toronto.isnt there a lot of filapinos in alberta? And no I am not filapino but less focus on europe more on non chinese destinations in asia

[@TheOwenMajor]

Of course, you don't get it, your from Toronto. What you Easterns don't realize is that if people from the west want to fly to Europe we have to go to either Toronto or Montreal. Being able to fly direct from Calgary is much simpler for us. Plus we get to avoid Toronto, an airport which I have never gotten through unscathed.

[@MrJonsied]

Heavily serviced? Out of where YYZ? YYC has only LHR, LGW, AMS and FRA year round nonstop. YYC is underserved. Thats why WS chose it for their initial base. Cant see Calgary Manilla happening. I would guess the first Asian route will be YVR HKG or YYC HKG.

[@namesregine9035]

You think its that easy? Europe is like a 9 hour flight compared to a 20 hour flight. LOL and basing europe flights from calgary (although there are flights from toronto to europe already, just not with the 787s) is the smartest move seeing as how if they were based in toronto it would have to be yyc-yyz-lgw oppose to just yyc-lgw. Also asian destinations would have to be from yvr - any asian destinations.

[@ivegottatightanus8589]

787 is a gorgeous aircraft

[@rtcharge]

Those seats in coach look very hard cramped

[@adel-711]

Airbus planes are better, Seats are bigger

[@armslides2105]

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.

[@OO-nd2kn]

Too bad their service is gone to shit

[@B-kl8vj]

Looks great but the 3-3-3 layout in a 787 is human abuse on a long fligh. I know others do it as well but it takes the dream out of the Dreamliner.

[@EdPMur]

Sad they won't fly it to Montreal😥

[@EdPMur]

@@chadmarkz4334 Why would I?

[@ianhamilton396]

Thank you WestJet....... You're going to make a shed load of money with this product. I'm looking forward to my own run this Summer. Awesome........

[@jesdadotcom]

Never flown WestJet but its nice to see domestic competition for AirCanada. AC has a poor reputation.

[@johnbradley8685]

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.

[@TamaraLR]

Awesome ..🤗. Was wondering if this one would be doing any flights from Vancouver to Kona Hawaii in April?

[@JayJayAviation]

Can’t wait to fly on this in April!

[@henson2k]

God help those in economy please

[@alysoncopeland1438]

Do you know if the Bulkhead seats in Economy have tvs in arm rests?

[@nicolenormand6407]

Thumb up for Alex; Thumb down for WestJet. The economy class is NOT for obese people which is a great percentage of our population. We'll be crammed like sardines in a tin can. The seats' width looks so much less than a regular seat in other airplanes. Imagine being in the middle seat with two huge people on either sides. No thank you.

[@scott250r2]

Bad Ass Boeing rite there.

[@patriwang]

Hey, how come the products look so similar to Air Canada's B787?

[@alg54]

Because Air Canada is the standard Westjet is trying to meet.

[@Henri.Virallinen]

B/E Aerospace Super Diamond, the same seat design as Air Canada's executive pods

[@namesregine9035]

Well to be fair its the competition so obv they have to equalize it. AC standard with WJ service.

[@XJLCA]

Banned. Unsafe.

[@lisamitchell3812]

Thank you Alex for an amazing presentation of our future! We are beyond excited!

[@crisswolff]

Great video, thanks for sharing.

[@brianthepilot1779]

Amazing as always! Cant wait to see the inflight review to come :) keep up the good work!

[@Milnoc]

You didn't try any of the seats? 😁

[@meemers90]

The Dreamliner is my favorite plane out of all Westjet planes

[@jav9888]

This is how a plain review should be done thanks!

[@kf43sukun5]

wonderful video cakepp , fly to bali please

[@benttwiggy5940]

Such a nice and beautiful aircraft, will want fly it one day
