The WestJet Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner carries 320 passengers across Business + Premium Economy + Economy. Power and Wi-Fi are available on this aircraft. Seats are rated below, so you can see which have the legroom, the window alignment and the quiet — and which sit next to a galley or lavatory.
The seats rated best on this map are 5A, 5C, 5D, 5E, 5F, 5H. Another 46 seats are rated best or good. The map marks 25 seats with extra legroom.
Seats rated avoid on this map are 9A, 9B, 9D, 9E, 9F, 9J. Another 51 seats are rated avoid. These are usually the back rows near the galley and lavatories, or middle seats with no window or aisle.
Yes. The pods lie fully flat and the one-two-one arrangement gives every seat direct aisle access, so nobody steps over a neighbour. It is a proper long-haul product and a different tier from the Premium recliners on WestJet's 737s.
On an overnight transatlantic sector, the wider seat, deeper recline and calmer cabin earn the difference over economy for most of its length. It is a small cabin, so it sells through early on popular routes; book it when you see it rather than waiting.
The bulkhead and exit rows carry the most legroom, with the usual bulkhead trade of no floor stowage during take-off. Otherwise sit forward, take a window or aisle, and stay clear of the rows hard against the rear galleys, which draw noise and queues on a long flight.
Lower cabin altitude, higher humidity and large dimmable windows, which together take a noticeable edge off jet lag compared with older widebodies. Add the quieter engines and it is the aircraft to pick when WestJet offers a choice of jet on a route.
