WestJet 737-800 New Premium Class - Toronto to Vancouver
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 апр 2020
- WestJet is currently in the process of updating its Boeing 737 fleet with a new and improved premium cabin, which they call "Premium". During my last flight to Vancouver for the foreseeable future, I booked myself in this cabin to check out their new offering. While it is leaps and bounds better than the European style business seats found in their old "Plus" cabin, there are some things that the discerning passenger may find amiss.

For those of you questioning my decision to go on this trip at the time that I did, please allow me to elaborate here, as it's hard to do so while keeping the introduction short. I'm a medical student currently taking a break from med school to pursue another degree in computational radiology. Some people I work with were rolling out a computer program that would allow hospitals to efficiently and quickly move patients to other facilities in preparation for the influx of covid-19 patients. This system was not working in two Vancouver hospitals. These colleagues of mine were going to go themselves, but when my friend and I heard about it, we volunteered to go instead, since we had some of our own work to do in Vancouver anyways and this additional task would justify this trip. We chose to go based on the fact that we could afford to self isolate for 2 weeks when we got back (which we’ve finished doing), and because there are no high-risk individuals living with either of us. There is still an inherent risk, but we concluded that with no chance of bringing someone up to speed with the programming and infrastructure over the internet, the benefits outweighed the risks. We volunteered for this and, while our flights and accommodations were paid for, we did not receive any additional compensation for this trip. This trip was not to ensure some company's bottom line, nor to profit any other entity. It was a conscious, well-informed, and carefully made decision to help solve an immediate problem, and ultimately to contribute to saving lives.
I made another video on my return trip going over just how sterile the travel experience is right now, and why you shouldn't do it apart from complete necessity. I encourage you to watch to better understand: ruclips.net/video/wn0bbmxkT9o/видео.html
And will you be donating the advertising payment from this video to some of the charities engaged in the frontline?
Just goes to show how you can't make everyone happy. I, for one, am very grateful for the work you're doing! Keep it up and love the videos!
Sorry "it was a conscious well-informed decision" doesn't address the fact it was contrary to the health direction in BC at the time; a mandatory 14 day isolation was required when you arrived. And, although I'm sure we all appreciate medical innovation, this seems wildly outside of essential travel, particularly given how "late" it appears to have happened. Lastly, you've still decided to create discretionary content that doesn't actually address the reality of the Canadian situation when you traveled. "I talked to my professors..." Cool, but, they're not health authorities. There was very clear direction in BC, and Ontario.
@@DaneNicholson I'm a nurse in Alberta so trust me when I say that this was not outside of essential travel. This has been very critical to the situation at hand. It's been a nightmare to get regular patients especially older patients to suitable facilities. There's so much to think about now.
@@DaneNicholson I apologize if I did not word that in a way to make myself understood. Please allow me to rephrase. A system was rolled out to hospitals in anticipation of the covid-19 patients that will be arriving in designated healthcare facilities. These facilities were, and still are, attempting to offload non-covid-19 patients to other facilities for reasons I think are pretty obvious. This was very time and resource-intensive to do between hospitals on different healthcare systems, it essentially boiled down to phone calls and paperwork. While they could share patient info, they couldn't see each other's bed capacity and resource load. This program was made as an ad-hoc solution specifically for this reality. It frees up admin staff, nurses, and patient transfer services so that they can redirect their time and efforts elsewhere. It also keeps a copy of patient records, who they interacted with, where they were, etc. in case contact-tracing is required later on. This was not "medical innovation" or some unrelated research, the main purpose of us being there was to make sure this system worked with the aging infrastructure of two major healthcare facilities. We went because, out of all the people who knew at the time what the problem was and how to troubleshoot it, my friend and I were the two who were least likely to infect anyone else given our domestic situations. Let me stress that this program was meant to save lives, and from the feedback and smooth running of it thus far, it has definitely contributed to it. We also managed to wrap up some of our own unrelated work while we were there while interacting at a safe distance with only one person, so I would call that a bonus.
You can argue with me over the fact that we didn't self isolate for 14 days after we arrived in BC, and I can understand how you might think there's a valid point there. But ultimately, the risk-benefit equation of the situation pointed very clearly to the fact that there was a lot more to be gained for the harm that could have been done. The hospital staff and admin were happy we went and fixed the issue, we received nothing but encouragement from everyone involved, especially the people it benefited.
Was it bad taste to make a video out of it? I can see how it can be perceived that way, but that's up to my discretion; the general feedback suggests that's not the case. I hope I explained myself, and while I may not change your mind, I hope I made my intentions and thought process clear.
"I fly enough united not to care anymore" savage.
'Not really an issue for me, I fly enough United not to care anymore' the SHADE 😭😭🤣
2:22 This is why you're my favorite youtuber ever 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
2:22 throwing in some after effects skillz
Hey 👋🏻 can't say this enough, you are the best fight reviewer out there. I'm really happy that you're checking out Canadian airlines, most of us can't even begin to think about affording those international business class seats. I follow you on Instagram, and I love your personality, positivity and how much of a hard worker you are, it shows these amazing videos of yours. If you're ever in Halifax, I would love to show you around!
I'm sorry, what's a Halifax? 🙃
@@VicariousVoyager LMAO
@@VicariousVoyager omg lol I know it's a small city but it's really pretty and there's lots to do, I swear!
Actually ........
How about Mr.Voyager gives himself the opportunity to review an actual ''fight'' with his calm and lucid voice as TravelbugLily fervently pointed out.
so which fight are u reviewing next
of course we love the damn graphics
6:20 as an american i love these jokes
ChaseMikks they get old if you hear them enough though.
Bruh he gonna have to lose some weight if he wants to keeping making those. 😂
Those views are truly insane and you're killing it with the graphics lol! Great job and stay safe 👍
2:22 HAHAHAHAHAH I almost died!
Thank you for your service my friend. Without back line people like you we would be lost.
Hey guys, I'll be answering questions on Josh Cahill's Instagram Livestream tomorrow, Thursday April 9th. If you want to ask me how I make my graphics and other irrelevant stuff, tune in at 11 AM EST (15:00 GMT) on either his or my Instagram: instagram.com/gotravelyourway instagram.com/tiezheng
EDIT: Aight you guys were too late the party's over. ✌️
See you there!
Looking forward to have you on the show!
I love the clean map-graphics!
Very comfortable listening to you.
I love the graphics at the beginning!!!!! Such a great touch !
Just stumbled upon your channel (youtube algorithm was on point for once) and I find it very entertaining. Maybe more soothing than entertaining which is great during this quarantine lifestyle. Rest assured I will still watch your videos after all this is over. Keep up the good work and know that your efforts are very much appreciated and giving many people solace.
Love the graphics and the Falcon shootdown. Excellent pause for effect after it. Lol
Always love the way you introduce the airport and transportation in the beginning!! Please do stay safe and well during this period. Hopefully could see your review very soon after the situation has been resolved. :)
Best Aviation RUclipsr Period.
Jacob Mintz Sam Chui bud, guess again!
@@roblong2725 Sam is the worst
Brilliant, once again! Cant wait for the next one! Keep safe
I flew in premium on the 8th of March and I had that exact same meal. It was really good. I absolutely fell in love with that Maple cake, it was the best desert I’ve never had.
Fantastic video again! I remember flying their retro Eco "plus" seats 5 years ago and thought that was super nice already. Now seeing these seats, it is 100% clear that they're miles ahead of their old "plus" (literally economy seats) seats. Great review
Thanks a lot!
Absolutely nailed it man! Another killer report
Really cool footage!
Thank you for uploading!!
The only RUclips channel I find with the best, most exciting, informative airline airplane reviews ever!!! Really fun and crazy sometimes seeing your video! Skr 🤙🏻
Your vlogs are the sole thing getting me through this quarantine.....
Thank you for the graphs, they are very informative.
i see the isolation creeping in to the video editing and i like it.
Thank you for always speaking so clear and not too quickly! Super appreciate understanding everything; so informative as well! Hoping I could do the same reviews you do someday, soon!
Yet again, great sound tracks :)
I predict in a short time, your name will be floated amongst the top when it comes to flight reviewers. I came across your Turkish airlines video not too long ago. The quality of the content was so good, I was shocked that you only had 11k subscribers at that time. Since then I've caught up with you other reviews. Keep up the great work and thank you for your unique style to flight reviews!!
Thank you for your work! Volunteering to do more risky work in place of people who would be more at risk than one themselves is very noble. Also your flight reviews during the pandemic will give a rare insight, which many people will appreciate. It is and will be part of History.
I like your videos, the first one i saw was the flight back from this one. You gained a new subscriber. All the best from Germany. Stay save and healthy y'all!
7:50.....I'm SCREAMING. A1 shade
"... these snack boxes which contained... snacks". Love your voice overs!
There's the endless collection of serious youtube flight review videos, and then there's 2:19. Nice one Vicarious.
Awesome video man! You posting just made my day
Glad you enjoyed it! I see you found your Easter egg 😛
Hello! Just wanted to say that I really enjoy your videos. You have an amazing talent and sense of humour. Thanks for making them!
Great shots out of the window!
love love your channel and your humor :)
Dayum! That part at 8:35 is killing it! Just add some black crop bars and you have the full cinematography experience!
Keep going with your amazing content! It´s always a good support for my procrastination!
3:03 is my favorite shot... Lol... Greeting from Myanmar
I am so impressed by how chill you are!! I have to fly back home in a few days and I am so stressed out. This video helped me a lot, thank you! Hope you stay safe!!!
Don't worry, follow the rules, watch some movies on the flight, and you'll be home safe :)
Vicarious Voyager Thank you so much, it means a lot! Stay safe please and I’m looking forward to your next videos!
Can I like this twice?! So good!
your flight report is very amazing Vicarious Voyager
Another great video. Thanks or sharing.
Great Graphics, commentery & camera work on ALL vid's. Overall GREAT work 👍
Awesome as usual!
Thank you! Very kind as usual :)
Another epic upload from the best avlogger on youtube. Those graphics were sick!
Amazing job! keep it up. You just got a new subscriber
That takeoff footage was beautiful !
Thanks, VV. As always, top notch. The animations, a bit of sarcasem, Millenium Falcon, lavatory tours, height jokes, they all work and make your trip riports the best on youtube, mate. You're setting the bar really really high. Thanks. You're the man!!
I flew their Plus class many times and I'm booked to fly Premium in the Fall so I was looking for a review and came across yours. That was very helpful and informative. I agree with you ... I don't why people attach so much importance to a lavatory but so be it. I don't care why you took the trip or when, that's your own business and all the power to you. Thanks for the report, it was very well done.
This was super entertaining. You are one of the best vloggers.
Great video mate and well done with what you are doing academically !! Not sure about the tray table residue ...uuughh !! Great views on take off !! Excellent idea with the CC opener !! Stunning views en route as well !! Canada is high on my list when all this awful time settles down and I really appreciate your honest and funny reviews. Hope you are well...studying and staying safe. Thanks again mate from Australia !!
You are amazing man. You're attention to sarcasm is really quirky. Very well done. All the best and stay safe!
I love your video!! So great :))
Thanks so much,
Another great video i love your sense of humor keep safe on your travels and best wishes from Surrey in southern England
I really like your humor!
Hey just Started Watching your Videos and i am really enjoing Your vids. Keep up the Great work👍🏻
Thanks for another great video. I love the humour, and the vision. The great animations add to the professionalism, and I reckon more flaming inflight disintegrations will only improve the whole effect. Bathrooms are pretty boring though, even in premium (although CX F is larger and stonier looking so possibly worth it from someone).
It's interesting seeing Westjet follow a similar path to Virgin Australia from LCC to full service, and will be equally interesting to see how it comes out the other side. I don't know whether Westjet's debt load is the same as VA's, but it's a real threat to VA's future.
You always make me smile and laugh. Keep up the good work you deserve it for making my day. Stay Safe!
What the hell? I subbed at less than 1000 subs and now your up to 19,000!!! Congrats man that's a big achievement 👏👏👏
Thank you, glad you’re enjoying my videos!
Vicarious Voyager You could get 100k in about a year. No joke...
the logo covered on the gate number disapeared after 0:12
Great vid!! =)
Vicarious Voyager is the shit. His reports are awesome
15:25 WOW just WOW - have never flown across the Rockies - thnx for these incredible shots 🤞🤞 when we see the backside of COVID that I can make it out to British Columbia 🤞🤞don’t want to end my travelling days by saying I’d only got into BC by a technicality of soaking in the Radium Hot Springs 😂🤣 thnx for another great video 🇨🇦🙏😷
Thank you for the knowledge and the comedy 😂
WOW what a cool video
For those of us who cant travel during these COVID times I really appreciate your work. As it allows me to voyage Vicariously (lame I know, dont hate me because vicariously was really the best word fit here ;) )
NZ crew checking in
Man your vids are the best! Your graphics tho, 😂
Love it
You're funny!!! Subscribing right now ;)
最后一段的BGM很不错 非常享受你的影片 加油 lol ：）
how come this guy doesn't have more subs. His visuals/graphics amazes me
He’s a genius. Period.
As always enjoy the snark
0:02 awkward hands gang, I love it LOL
$700 does seem fairly pricey for a snall meal and a snack box. Glad you did the trip on Westjet for us nonetheless👍
but the legroom and more comfortable seat might be worth it if your business is paying for ticket 🤔 had an uncle for flew regularly in the 60’s thru 80’s from Toronto to any number of large cities in Europe - when as kids we pestered him about flying economy not business - will clean up his language 😉 he said “the front end of the plane touches down seconds before the back end” so why spend all that extra money for a couple of seconds 🤣😂
Dude, your content is incredible...got to k ow more about your job though. Consultant surely?
LBL - Cospe .... such a great track for watching avgeek video !!!!! give me more
6:50
Was there a sale on sneakers the day you bought yours? It looks like your seatmate is wearing the same kicks as you. White sneakers with red laces... is that a popular combo in Canada, eh?
Excellent use of your credit card.
I’m obsessed. Lol.
Once again, you are easily the most underrated flight reviewer out there. I'm glad I've found you.
May I ask what your profession is?
Some sort of medical professional or student
You sir, are a RUclips treasure, we need our society to get over this virus so you can resume regular flying! Thanks for making my day!
Hillarious
Congrats Sir, you just became my favorite traveling asian…
Nice video. What do you use to make the colored lines on the maps?
take care！注意安全
2:11 Where do you figure out which terminal is which? It will help my flight sim stuff so I can park at the right gate

Love your channel! You'll surpass Sam Chui soon enough. And of course you use better graphics - how do you make them by the way?
What camera you used for this video ? it's crystal clear.
here before 1 million subs
TTC - Toronto Tardiness Commission? Haven't heard the TTC referred to that before - but hilarious!! Also - why were you distancing from your camera at the very start of the vlog?
1:14 ....aka 50 % of the reason why I'm here( to see those amazing graphics of airports)
