Hello everyone, my name is Alex, and today I’ve been invited by WestJet for an exclusive
tour of their brand new Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner.
I’m incredibly excited and grateful for the opportunity, and I can’t wait to share
this amazing looking aircraft with all of you!
This aircraft is the first of three Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners joining WestJet’s fleet
this year, tail 901, with the registration C-GUDH, and is named after WestJet’s founder
and chairman, Clive Beddoe.
WestJet will fly these aircraft domestically between their main hubs in Calgary and Toronto
for a few weeks until they start transatlantic routes, with London flights starting on April
28th, Paris flights on May 17th, and Dublin flights starting on June 1st - All from Calgary.
Enough from me - Let’s see what their new Dreamliner looks like inside.
In the Business Cabin, WestJet has 16 lie-flat pods in a 1-2-1 configuration.
This is WestJet’s first time introducing a business class product, and it’s clear
that they’ve put a lot of thought into it!
The Business cabin is, frankly, amazing, and these meals are beautifully presented and look very appetizing.
There’s no doubt in my mind that Business Class guests will eat very well!
Moving on to the Premium Cabin. Here, WestJet has 28 premium economy seats in a 2-3-2 configuration.
On WestJet’s Dreamliner, both Business and Premium are located between the first and
second set of doors, however, the two cabins are separated by a solid bulkhead.
These seats are similar to the new Premium seats that WestJet is rolling out on their
Boeing 737 fleet, with more space and amenities.
WestJet also has a self-serve snack area in the galley between the Premium and Economy Cabins.
Finally, let’s take a look at economy.
On WestJet’s Dreamliner, Economy Class starts at the second set of doors and has 276 economy
seats in a 3-3-3 configuration.
Once again, I have to extend an enormous thank you to WestJet themselves for allowing me
to come along and get such a great look at their new Dreamliner.
I cannot wait to fly on the Dreamliner with WestJet, and I’m very excited to see where the 787
will take them in the future.
Thank you for watching, and I’ll see you next time.
