Overview

  • WestJet is retrofitting 43 all‑economy 737‑8 MAX and 737‑800s with a three‑tier cabin that adds 12 Premium seats up front.
  • A 36‑seat Extended Comfort section sits behind Premium with extra legroom and a cabin divider to distinguish the space.
  • Economy switches to ultra‑slimline fixed‑recline seats that enable one additional row and offer tiered seat‑location choices from back to front.
  • High‑speed WestJet Wi‑Fi presented by TELUS is being installed across these 737s for completion by year‑end 2025, with access free for Rewards members.
  • The first refreshed jet enters service in October 2025 as WestJet moves to standardize interiors from Swoop and Sunwing acquisitions while retaining some single‑class aircraft to keep fares low.
