Still WORTH IT in 2026? Review WestJet Business Class 787-9 YYC-NRT
Fly with me on WestJet Business Class aboard the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner on a long-haul flight from Calgary International Airport (YYC) to Narita International Airport (NRT) and find out: is WestJet Business Class still worth it in 2026?
In this detailed review I cover the entire experience including the WestJet Elevation Lounge, the Aspire International Lounge, the 787-9 reverse herringbone lie-flat seats, in-flight dining, amenities, bedding, entertainment, and overall service on this transpacific flight to Tokyo.
I also directly compare WestJet Business Class vs Air Canada Business Class, including the shared Collins Aerospace Super Diamond seats, pricing differences, and whether WestJet offers better value than Canada’s largest airline.
If you’re considering flying business class to Japan, deciding between WestJet vs Air Canada, or wondering whether upgrading from economy or premium economy is worth it, this full flight review will show you exactly what to expect on one of WestJet’s flagship long-haul routes. ✈️

outside of the mattress cover miss, the product looks great overall. did you check if the divider really slides down? I was on an AC flight one time and it nearly caused a fight with my partner because the divider wouldn't slide down (it probably wasn't intended to 😏). thanks as always for another detailed review, showing both lounges was a nice touch, especially with the 10 dollar shower 🙅🏻♂️🚿💰❤
My favorite AV Youtuber still hasnt bought new shoes. 😂
Thanks Isabella another flight enjoyed with you.
👍👍👍👍
I probably would never fly this route, but I watched the whole video because you are great!!
Here in Bangkok Air Asia does 28 inches and little recline. I tolerate it as most flights I took on Air Asia, or Nok, were seldom more than an hour. I did try their business DMK-PVG once but the seat was too short and I'm just under 6'. That was a bulkhead too. Never tried WestJet only Air Canada business Vancouver to BKK, the only non-stop NA to Thailand. Pretty good.
I Havent experience Westjet jet. Great video and info
It’s a really good price. I guess that’s why they charge for showers. 😂
Another informative video….
What has been your best flight from SFO to Thailand ?
Bonkers pricing! Looks quite decent,though. Shame I will never get to try it…
This is exactly the video that I was looking for and more.
Great video. That price was excellent. I'd pay that any day.
That’s a really good price as it looks to be double now. Great review, seems very comparable to AC’s Signature offering minus the mattress pad but having the metal napkin holder
Wow that was a great price. I am surprised at only 16 business class seats. That is low compared to other airlines.
I flew WS Calgary to Incheon in business last year. The price was very good, but I thought the rest of the experience was pretty sub-standard. The seat was fine, but the food was not good (apart from the salmon starter, it looked and tasted like an elementary school dinner, and the pre-arrival meal was tasteless), and the drink selection was shocking (apart from an OK cognac). Service was OK, but very hands off (all though I don't really mind that). I suppose it all depends on what you fly business for. But as you say, the price is pretty appealing. Thanks for a nicely presented video.
