The Airline

About WestJet

A comprehensive look at WestJet's premium cabins, service philosophy, route network, and what makes them worth flying.

Airline overview

Founded in 1994, WestJet is headquartered in Canada and operates to 104+ destinations across 80+ countries. The fleet is built around Boeing 787-9 for long-haul operations, with additional narrowbody types on regional routes. WestJet operates independently of major global alliances, with select bilateral partnerships for codesharing.

The business class experience

WestJet Business features Lie-flat with direct aisle access (787). Seat width is 22 inches and fully extended bed length is 78 inches — comfortable for passengers up to about 6'3" (190cm) to sleep fully flat. The seat layout on WestJet's long-haul widebody aircraft typically offers direct aisle access for every business class passenger, so you never have to climb over a seatmate.

In-flight entertainment is delivered via Seatback touchscreen IFE. Dining on WestJet: Canadian cuisine, Alberta beef, BC wines. Baggage allowance in business class: 2 × 32kg checked. All flights include amenity kits, premium bedding, and priority boarding/baggage handling.

Lounges and ground experience

At the home hub: WestJet Elevation Lounge (YYC). At other airports worldwide: Contract lounges at partner airports. Lounge access is included with your business class ticket — you show your boarding pass at the lounge entrance and receive food, drinks, WiFi, and dedicated workspaces until boarding time.

On the ground at departure, WestJet business class passengers get dedicated check-in counters, fast-track security lanes where available, and priority boarding. At arrival, baggage is tagged with priority labels and comes out first — typically saving 15-30 minutes versus economy on heavily-loaded flights.

What travelers say

“Excellent 787 product from Calgary. Good alternative to Air Canada. Alberta beef and BC wines on board. Friendly Canadian service. Codeshare ties to Delta, Korean Air and Air France-KLM extend the network well beyond WestJet's own routes.”
