Boarding the flight on the first day of Westjet (WS) NRT-YYC (Narita-Calgary) direct flight

hello.

​​

I’m going to write about my flight on the first day of the Narita-Calgary direct flight of WestJet Airlines, one of Canada’s national flag carriers.

​​

If used well, I think it can be a good alternative for traveling from Korea to the Canadian tourist city of the Rockies.

​​

It only takes 9 hours to get to Calgary from Tokyo, so I can just watch a movie and take a nap, so it’s great to get there quickly without getting bored.

​​

Currently, ticket prices from Canada to Incheon have more than doubled compared to the average year, so there is merit in terms of price.

​​

GMP-HND (Gimpo-Haneda): You can use KE (Delta ticket) to see Tokyo and then go to Canada.

ICN-NRT (Incheon-Narita): Using KE (Delta ticketing), it would be a good choice to have a plate of sushi near Narita or Chiba and then go to Canada.

WESTJET (hereinafter referred to as ‘Wejet’ – Canada’s second largest airline)

I was someone I really liked, but I was really, really disappointed this time. It was just a disappointment, but since there is no alternative, I will use it again. ㅠㅠㅠ

​​

1) Departure time change after decision on first flight

I understand that this is a route that has been decided upon for quite some time. However, after the flight was confirmed and ticket sales began, the departure time changed drastically. This could be anything.

​2) No check-in 24 hours in advance.

​

I keep getting errors ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

What kind of system is this?

​

3) It was fortunate that I was able to select seats (24 hours in advance) in View My Reservations. Even if there is a check-in error, please reserve your seat in advance.

4) Narita Airport is chaotic!

While I was going back and forth, I completed online check-in, received a boarding pass, and all I had to do was drop off my bags at the airport. I arrive at the airport 3 hours and 30 minutes in advance to get in as early as possible because I have to carefully consider the duty-free shops at Narita Airport.

Ah.. I’m so deeply upset!!!

The Baggage Drop line does not shorten.

No matter how long I wait, it won’t decrease.

Even though it’s not even airport check-in, it’s just putting on luggage tags.

In the end, I was able to enter the airport at 5:30pm for a 6:05pm boarding flight
.

5) I guess they are excited because it is their first flight.

Instead of just being excited, you should have prepared!!!!

It must have been covered by a Canadian media outlet!! I thought it was too quiet.

​

6) The plane is full and there is a delay. There’s no reason.

Can you tell me the usual reason? Blah blah~ It’s delayed another hour for no reason.

​

7) The spacing between seats is wide and the on-demand configuration is good. The model is 787-9 Dreamliner.

The space between seats is very wide. (It’s not a Pico seat) Is it because it’s in the front? It’s too wide. It’s a new plane, so the neck rest and pillow are great.

​

I don’t speak Korean, but there are so many movies that it’s exhausting.

​

8) This is the first route and the crew members are not new.

I am very upset about the flight attendants working.

He continued to appeal that it was his first time, pouring wine and telling the guests, ‘Cheers!’ Shout out. Please don’t just cheat and keep moving. I don’t think any country that works efficiently and efficiently can keep up with Korea.

​

9) Meanwhile, the in-flight meal is very good.

I bought a lot of food outside to avoid eating the in-flight meal, and ate it all while the flight was delayed. But is Waget’s in-flight meal always like this? I liked using the paper box, and the gyudon inside was so delicious that I ate it all. Even the chocolate mousse, which was bad, was delicious.

​

Also, is Widget inherently eco-friendly??

I really liked the wooden cutlery. Oh~~

​

This was served for breakfast before arrival.

At this time, I didn’t know that I would be stuck at the Calgary airport, so I passed without eating.

​

10) Arrival in Calgary and transfer to Edmonton

NEXUS is just a 30 second cut. They told me to scan my passport, but as I took out my Nexus card, my name already appeared on the screen and it asked me to take a picture. Mom, you’re amazing~~

Immigration screening.

When transferring to a domestic flight

I’m not looking for luggage!!!!!!!

They kindly tell me not to collect my luggage and to follow the purple directions .

​

If you continue to follow these purple signs at the airport, you will exit.

Go to the domestic departure, go through security again (there is also a separate Nexus line) and re-enter.

WestJet international flight boarding

WestJet domestic flight transfer

Your luggage will be automatically transferred to your final destination! I’m not looking for luggage.

​

11) Standby is not possible when the flight is delayed.

​

If the system had been to pick up luggage and reship it in Calgary, it would have been easy to standby in case of a delay, but it is said that standby is completely impossible if there is luggage that has been automatically transferred. Air Canada was able to do this. Even though my father had luggage, he stood in front of the gate and the luggage automatically followed the person, but Wezett said that was not possible. ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

​

The WestJet one-way fare was about C$570.

If you like traveling to Japan,

If you don’t think stopover or transit is a hassle,

If you have some time to spare, I think it could be a pretty good alternative.
