Alex: *buys an economy ticket*
Ed Sims: I need your help fam
WestJet honestly is the best airline to fly in Canada. The BEST customer service, the easiest check in, always clear and able to explain. Absolutely LOVE them.
I disagree I personally think Air North is. But West Jest is definitely one of the best.
All of that stuff is important, however, when looking at flights from Halifax to Calgary and back, WJ is considerably more expensive then AC
@@benslauenwhite4337 a flight from edmonton to kelowna (45 minutes - 1h15 flight) for 400$ with westjet and 650$ with AC. absolutely wild
@@benslauenwhite4337
Not anymore it looks like. WestJet is cheaper by a few dollars and it's direct.
That wing flex on take off. That's the money shot.
Welcome to Ireland! Great to see the new business product - I’m talking my family Dublin-Calgary across that row 1 next Thursday 👍👍
14:44 that fork dropping on the floor had me rolling 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Thats awesome Alex, congrats, what a fantastic thing they did for you. I love WestJet, have been wanting to fly them for a long time.
Wow... what a great back-story on how you picked up that business class seat, Alex! Good for you! These 787's are truly great aircraft. Another great review.
Great trip report! I've never flown WestJet and every time I've been to Canada, I've flown European airlines but I think that this shows true Canadian hospitality! I know they fly seasonally to Glasgow, but I think if the Dublin route proves successful, an Edinburgh route might be on the cards...
I’m an Irish Canadian living in Kelowna, BC. I’m thrilled to be able to fly to Ireland with one connection on my favourite airline! I’ve already taken a WestJet Dreamliner to London Gatwick (premium economy, delightful) and will be travelling to Dublin and Rome this year in Business Class. WestJet is now my preferred carrier to Europe.
Flying on this aircraft is pretty special! I love all the small attention to detail! WestJet has such outstanding hospitality and service and i hope to work for them someday!
I look forward ✈with Westjet airlines 💙especially on their new aircraft 787 dreamliner.
Westjet is the best airline in 🇨🇦👍🏼✌🏼❤you westjet
So happy for you Alex! I'm glad things worked out the way they did and you got a great upgrade (and the extra legroom!). Keep up the excellent work. Really enjoy your reports.
A very special route in my opinion, thank you for this flight report! Greetings from Germany!
Your trip reports are by far, one of my favourites. I can’t wait to try their business class
Your videos are fantastic! And from someone who just enjoys travelling its great to see an upload like this especially during these times of uncertainty of when we'll be able to enjoy the skies again. Thanks again for allowing us to live vicariously though you. Safe travels.
Amazing video! Will be flying return Dublin to Calgary in August in Business. You’ve got me excited for the flights now!
Such an eventful and thorough flight review Alex. You give a really detailed yet interesting explanation and reveal of the complete journey. Hats off to West Jet for upgrading you. They knew that with their excellent new product, you would be the one to show it all off to the best advantage. Well done Alex. Well done West Jet. Cheers, Colin.
Awesome trip report Alex! They're always excellent but this one has definitely surpassed them all! Thanks for sharing your experience on the inaugural
What an excellent review. I am very impressed with Westjet's service and hopefully, I can try them out! Thanks so much.
Outstanding trip report, once again as always!
Good for you Alex...you seem like one of the TALLEST and nicest guys on the Tube...I really enjoy your flight reports and really enjoy a lot of regional reports. Keep it up.
Alex, makes me feel like making a trip with them! As usual a great video thank you.
Very cool what they did for you! Excellent video as usual. Thanks for what you do! My wife and I are planning a London getaway next year, and very much looking forward to Westjet's service out of Toronto overseas. Cheers!
YESSSS QUALITY VID MAN, nicely done!
Lovely video - how marvellous that they upgraded you 😊 so glad you got the best seat on any aircraft- 1A is the dream! Hope you enjoyed Dublin X
This video is your best yet great work!
Great trip report. Becoming a fan of yours!
Really like your detailed trip reports! Nice video 😃
Good review Alex, and you are a man of integrity and honesty, keep up the great work !!!
5:05 WestJet is making me look very good 😆classic LOL
Great job Alex and Westjet sure isn't your typical run of the mill 'low cost vacation carrier'.
Great videos btw, always do enjoy them 🔥🔥🙌🏼🙌🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Alex, you are a rising star in the Aviation vlogger world! You have some of the best videos out there, I think you are even better than some of the big guys out there
Anyone ever notice that Alex's voice audio like the captain's announcements on a flight? I love that, it adds another dimension!
Are you sure about that? It sounded like one of those synthesised robot voices.
A very nice insight into the Westjet service into Ireland. The inflight service is very attentive with nice Canadian touches. I like how your reports are not filled entirely with audio and the viewer can experience the flight :)
Fantastic report as always!
Having flown on the return flight the same day I must say the food options were a little more limited..
But overall it's a great product & I've really enjoyed the pod.
Keep up the great videos!
The catering looks insane.
Keep the great work up.
Great review! Enjoyed watching ☺👍:)
I really love this video. Ahh, I wish I could fly the dreamliner soon :) Great video!
Excellent! Upgrade was amazing courtesy from WestJet and well deserved. Great video, wonderful service. I have also seen other videos, including economy class. So obviously better than AC. I would say that next time I travel overseas, I would even book a connection through Calgary to take WestJet over ACs nonstop service from Vancouver! Nothing better than an excellent short rib!
these are excellent reviews - keep up the great content!
Hello After a long time very nice video.thanks for the video
Great video Alex!
Great trip report. I’m anxious to try Westjet on this route, and hope it is a success for them. Earlier this Spring I flew to Dublin -Edmonton to Vancouver to London to Dublin. Despite being in business class, it was exhausting. Direct flights from Calgary (and Edmonton) are the best.
Great video! Thanks for sharing.
Good morning from the US, Alex. Thank-you for an outstanding flight report on WestJet. You are succinct and objective with your reports, yet concise - the way I really like. Based on your numerous flight reviews, I hope that WestJet will fall within my plans for future travel so that I am able to share your experiences personally.
The most notable thing for me about your flight is the portion of butter you received with your warmed bread. It might be a small thing for some, but that is first class service in my opinion. For years, one of my objectives has been to figure a way to bring additional butter onboard, because I am so tire of the meager portions I have been allocated on past flights. Butter and (good) coffee creamer are 2 of my pet peeves when it comes to comfort foods, despite whatever amenities are offered in business class.
Hopefully, Aer Lingus will extend reciprocal transatlantic flights between Dublin and Calgary, for I would really like to see Calgary expand its direct overseas flight destinations. The airport is just the right size to be an international hub, yet it is still small enough not to be jam packed with passengers. Currently, I consider the Calgary to be a serious contender as a portal to any future overseas flights I might take.
Again, thank-you for your review.
Taking this flight to LA with my girlfriend in January. Super excited
Great video Alex! You’re lucky to be living the jersey life
Great job alex ps luv ur vids
Love the narration
It's just much nicer than just captions
Great video Alex and great job WestJet! I only fly WestJet as I live in Calgary and they are a fantastic airline that makes travelling pleasurable.
this is amazing. And you got aviators.
Glad I could help with the photos!
Holy smokes beautiful departure
My first flight on a dreamliner was one of West Jets!
So cool
The catering looked really good. Seemed like a journey
Awesome video man liked
Well the quietness of this aircraft is almost impeccable.
Great 787 WestJet models
Great job 👏🏿
You are so lucky to be able to do trip reviews. I'd like to do this someday.
First like lol; great video and keep up the good work
Awesome report Alex! Man this makes me want to try WestJet business so bad! Also, you are so tall that your cabin shots seem like they're shot from the ceiling! 😂
Nice pull brother. WestJet set you up good.
Great video!
I wish you have good flights.
New subscriber From Dublin.
Glad I could push you out 7 minutes early :)
Love the 787
So nice to watch a world where no one is masked and afraid of being around others
Thanks for posting this Alex. I would love to fly business class even just once, but sadly at nearly $6000 round trip it's not something many regular people will ever get to experience. I'm also hoping they add more flights to Europe and Ireland in the future. When I've searched it seems they only have flights up until around October. Hoping for Christmas flights in the future.
I ❤ Traveling with Westjet my favorite Canadian airline🇨🇦.
Love this vid thanks Alex can you please do the same with Calgary Paris and Calgary Rome next year
Excellent report! I've been dying to see how transatlantic economy on westjet compares to Air Canada's minimalistic service in terms of catering
Wow! these simulator graphics sure are getting better and better...
Still better than Air Canada! They actually care about you! Great video!
Uchenna Okorie i would like to see west jet fly to Auckland international airport, would be interesting to see the difference in service, I love travelling with air New Zealand personally
Kevin Crawford i was asking that westjet fly out of Calgary to go to Auckland in New Zealand, air Canada only flies to Auckland from Vancouver during the southern summer and I prefer flying air New Zealand then air Canada but if westjet want to do the southern run, I’m ready to pay the big $ to try then out
Great trip report, Alex! I always enjoy watching your videos! 😊👍
This looks great! I wish I could go get a ticket for business!
Aww, PALS! Grateful to be part of that family with my little goblin cat (though we’re not part of Pre Board PALS). 💜💜
You're 6ft 8in!!!! Wow, finally someone to help me choose a flight. I also need the extra room
14:43 the fork drop tho
Great video
Luna: Doggo
Best part XD
Quel beau voyage que votre vie!
That was a class act by WestJet helping you out. I’ve heard Air Canada is the opposite. They see someone boarding with a GoPro or any type of video recorder, they can become pretty hostile. I don’t understand it. If someone is videoing out the window what’s the big deal? I’ve never had a bad experience on WestJet. They actually like their customers. Great vid. As for the cocktails consider it as training. You’re going to Ireland and you need all the practice you can get to deal with the “ creature “ once you get there. Cheers!
Liked and Subscribed for a great video, I saw you arrive!!
I love the video
6 feet 8 inches. Wow you are tall! Great video! I would love to fly business class but it is so much more expensive than economy or economy plus. We have been fortunate to travel on some big airplanes but not business class. One plane we flew on had a upstairs in it with pods but I can’t remember what airline. It’s always exciting to fly off to far away places.
Good job 👍
Good video.The warm bread was interesting as on all international flights only Swissair &Austrian serve warm bread &the crew do multiple rounds with it
All other airlines serve ice cold rolls!
Nice! 👍🏼
damn, westjet does really try to have the best customer service
Any plans for YYC - ZRH on Edelweiss? Would be cool to see the A340.
These 787 seem very quiet . Good video.
Isn't Ireland a BEAUTIFUL Country? I got home from there two weeks ago. My Mother was right, green as far as the eye can see, Greens of different shades. The People are Wonderful as well. Business Class is awesome!
Sorry this took so long to get out! I had a bunch of technical issues, but here is my experience on WestJet's inaugural flight from Calgary to Dublin! I hope you enjoy this very special trip report that's been 8 months in the making :)
And what do you do for a living to afford these little getaways?
Alex Praglowski Aviation I love all your videos!
Alex Praglowski Aviation the only thing I wish they would do is make the windows in business class closer, I can’t say anything tho I’ve never been on the westjet 787-9 but off of videos they look far away
