Westjet is to Air Canada what Virgin Atlantic is to British Airways or Virgin Australia is to Qantas.
In short, they are the upstart cool new-comer wanting to give the incumbent national carrier a run for their money. Westjet recently invested in some brand new 787 aircraft and launched new international routes with a brand new business class product. I was lucky to fly on one of these routes on a recent work trip. Yes I paid for this ticket in full and no I didn’t get a freebie from the airline. They didn’t even know I was coming - that said the Cabin Service Manager did recognise me in the departure lounge and welcomed me on board which was lovely.
So what were they like and are they up to the standard of Air Canada?
This Westjet 787 business class flight review covers my journey from Toronto to London Gatwick on the new Westjet business class product. This trip report is biased in that they are my views and my views alone - you may have a different experience but from what I saw I think you’ll love flying Westjet.
So let’s fly…
Route: Toronto (YYZ) to London Gatwick (LGW)
Length: 3,570 miles, 6:28 hrs
Flight: WS3 Seat 4D
Aircraft: Boeing 787-9 registration C-GUDH (Jan 2019)
When: 22 Nov 2019

I do exactly the same when I travel and almost consistently get good experience in return. Cheers.

I have memories of flying WestJet in their early years when they flew old, leased 737's where each plane had a different livery, and the flight attendants and other staff made us all feel special. Glad to hear that even though they've gone uptown with bigger planes and long haul routes Westjet still puts the customer experience at the top (right behind safety.)

Just nothing to fault and everything to commend. I saw another comment that WestJet only started a BC this year. Just yet another example of how an LCC can teach the legacy airlines some lessons, and to come up with this new product 100% spot on the first time is a great achievement.

@yvr2002rtw 4 жыл бұрын

Somehow it seems like that WestJet is trying hard to lose its humble LCC roots and is trying to be one of the full service carriers. This all start some years ago when they migrated their Passenger Services System from Navitaire to Sabre Sonic and signed interline agreements with various carriers.

This is WS finally providing a decent alternative to Air Canada into a UK gateway airport. The hard product has some similarities to the AC biz cabin minus the crumbs stuck in the seat and general filth. The cabin crew seem friendly which is refreshing compared to the (usually) indifferent AC personnel. Very much worth considering for my next flight through Europe in February.

Love WestJet! Hardly an upstart airline, as it has been serving Canadians with a smile now for 22 years, but certainly a recent entrant into the transatlantic market (flying 737s since 2014) and Dreamliners since 2019. This is WestJet’s first year with business class and they are really trying to make it memorable. I recently travelled from Calgary to London Gatwick (return) in Premium Economy and the service was equally personable. WestJet is now definitely my preferred transatlantic carrier. My one disappointment with the Dreamliner is that, to accommodate all that headroom, the overhead bins are too high for me to reach!
