Welcome to Japan on this historic flight. I hope that WestJet Airlines will continue to serve as a wonderful bridge between Japan and Canada, and facilitate positive exchanges between the two countries in the future.

I did the WestJet flight to Rome last year. It's nice to see them expanding and giving Albertans more options. The dreamliners can make Australia from Alberta. How cool would that be.

Until about six weeks ago, I didn't even know this route existed. I have since booked this flight and am looking forward to it!

Thank you for the beautiful video of the 787 wing. It looks so sleek and thin, it's dreamy.

You should watch the UA-cam video by Alex Praglowski. He also reviewed this. You were BOTH on that flight!

[@PilotKev170]

Yes, he put up a great video!

[@GenkisTravels]

まあそれ目当てで見に来た訳だけどなｗ。Ryuさんの活躍を少しでも感じたかったから貴重な映像を観られて嬉しい。
"Well, I came here for that reason, lol. I'm glad I could watch this valuable footage to feel Ryu's success even a little bit."
