    Welcome to my WestJet Review! On my WestJet 787 flight from Tokyo to Calagary, I took a closer look at the economy class of WestJet, Canada's second largest airline.
    You can find out how the WestJet economy class performed, what the food was like, what I thought of the WestJet flight attendants and much more in this video.

    About WestJet (from Wikipedia):
    WestJet Airlines Ltd. is a Canadian airline headquartered in Calgary, Alberta, near Calgary International Airport. It is the second-largest airline based in Canada, behind Air Canada, operating an average of 777 flights and carrying more than 66,130 passengers per day. In 2018, WestJet carried 25.49 million passengers, making it the ninth-largest airline in North America by passengers carried.
    WestJet was founded in 1994 and began operations in 1996. It began as a low-cost alternative to the country's competing major airlines.
    About the Boeing 787 Dreamliner (from Wikipedia):
    The Boeing 787 Dreamliner is an American wide-body jet airliner developed and manufactured by Boeing Commercial Airplanes. After dropping its unconventional Sonic Cruiser project, Boeing announced the conventional 7E7 on January 29, 2003, which focused largely on efficiency. The program was launched on April 26, 2004, with an order for 50 aircraft from All Nippon Airways (ANA), targeting a 2008 introduction.
    On July 8, 2007, a prototype 787 was rolled out without major operating systems, and then the aircraft experienced multiple delays until its maiden flight on December 15, 2009.

    The train in the beginning is a through service from the Asakusa Line to the Keisei Main Line to Narita Airport.
    Interesting choice, most others use SKYLINER, Airport Limousine, or Narita Express.
    The flight review itself is useful for Canadians looking for options outside expensive Japanese mainline carriers

      Thank you for commenting. It was just the option Google Maps showed me from our hotel in Narita to the airport... But yeah sometimes I shouldn't really trust Google Maps that much😂😅 My reason for choosing Westjet was because it was an affordable way to travel from Asia to Canada without haveing to go through the US. Thank you and safe travels!🙏😊

    What If Westjet will also fly to Manila And Cebu Using 787?

    • @theRealJohnnyG.
      @theRealJohnnyG.  2 месяца назад

      Technically that would be possible I think as it is within the reach of the 787 (not an expert). I think there is also a demand. But currently the only destinations of Westjet in Asia are Incheon and Narita.

    Thanks for posting this. I live a few hours north of Calgary so wondered how much better the flight from there to Tokyo would be as opposed to Vancouver. Westjet originally started out as a discount airline and they were trained to be upbeat and positive so I'm a bit surprised about the lack of friendliness and junk attitude of those flight attendants, however I would hope for all our sake that isn't the norm now. Safe stay and travels in the future bro.

And their airlines are not good. I just don't understand why the fare of flights to Japan have almost doubled since the pandémie.

    Nice video, but the crew cant help put baggage up, they only get paid when the flight departs and they can risk injuring themselves prior to departure.

    • @theRealJohnnyG.
      @theRealJohnnyG.  2 месяца назад

      Thank you. A few people pointed that out to me now. Staff not getting paid before departure is something I really can't understand, hopefully they will change that in the future. I'll even be happy to pay a few bucks more so that they don't have to work for free on the ground, that's just wrong. But I am not sure wether not helping with the bags is only a Canadian / US thing. In many of my other videos I recorded on European and Asian carriers the crew helps the passengers with their hand luggage.
