WestJet’s new airplane is called the Dreamliner 787.
The new plane features daily flights between Toronto and London, U.K.’s Gatwick Airport. Flights for the new plane launched today and we’ve already spotted some pretty good deals for travel starting April 2020.
The Dreamliner 787 departs Toronto every day at 8:45 p.m. and arrives in London, U.K. the following day at 9 a.m. It features 320 seats, in three cabins: Business, Premium, and Economy, which features free food and drink, and on-demand in-flight entertainment.

Air travel keeps getting more expensive. If they don’t get you with the airfare or taxes, they punish you with higher checked luggage fees. As of October 5, WestJet and Air Canada economy travellers will pay $30 for the first bag and $50 for the second bag. This compares to previous fees of $25 and $30. Those with flex fares pay no fee for the first checked bag and $50 for the second.

According to Lauren Stewart, WestJet spokesperson, the increase in baggage fees will “offset higher costs in today’s challenging and competitive market, while continuing to offer competitive prices for” guests. Their excuse is that charging more for optional services, such as checked bags, they can continue to maintain lower fees. When did checking a bag become an optional service? In addition, travellers will pay $75 for overweight and oversized bags.

Air Canada also claims their fee increase maintains competitive ticket prices and note that it’s the first increase since 2014. These new baggage fees apply to flights across Canada, to and from the U.S., Caribbean, and Mexico. Air Canada Economy Flex and Economy Comfort travellers continue to check in their first bag free of charge. The fee does not apply to Altitude Prestige, Elite, and Super Elite members, Star Alliance Silver and Gold members, and Air Canada Vacations packages.
