Canadian airline, WestJet is on a roll. Following the recent launch of its Boeing 787 Dreamliner services from Calgary to London (Gatwick), Paris and Dublin, WestJet is now offering guests travelling across its global network an enhanced range of amenities and on-board experiences on its Boeing 787, 767 and 737 transatlantic services. The airline also says that customers can expect to see further updates continue to roll across the WestJet fleet throughout 2019 and 2020.

The enhanced WestJet experience will begin as passengers board the aircraft, as they enjoy the Boarding Sessions, a soundtrack of soulful boarding music from Canadian Juno award-winning recording artist, Sean Jones. Guests will be treated to original music and classic covers of iconic Canadian artists – like The Band, Sarah McLachlan and The Guess Who – that Jones drew inspiration from for his album. If guests really enjoy the music, the album is available for download and the story behind The Boarding Sessions is available to watch onboard WestJet’s Dreamliners.

“I’m so proud of what we’ve accomplished with Boarding Sessions and grateful to WestJet for bringing this music to life,” said Sean Jones. “Working on this project has been one of the highlights of my career and I’m excited to have built a playlist of my music that will be heard by people not just in Canada, but across WestJet’s global network.”
