WestJet scores 72 out of 100, which is good, and sits 5 of 18 on the board. Nobody publishes per-tail data for this fleet, so this is a number about the airline and nothing narrower.

100 of 193 at WestJet's own last count, 9 Oct 2025, and it has published nothing since. The 39 Encore Q400s have nothing.
Every aircraft WestJet flies, by system, priced. The rows add up to the published ConnectScore, and the top row on its own is the next-gen number. The build fails if they stop adding up.

139 aircraft with a published system, plus 54 left out of the denominator instead of assumed into it, for 193 in total. Every system on the fleet is named and the counts are not published, so the score is a range. Points are shown to one decimal place; the unrounded rows sum to 71.94, which rounds to the published 72.
Four things, in the order they become useful. Every one of them is available at tier C, which is the tier this page was derived at. Anything this fleet cannot support has been cut from the list.
Aircraft assignments firm up roughly 48 hours before departure and they can still move up to pushback. Whatever this page says today, the answer for your flight is more settled then.
WestJet publishes an amenity marker against each flight in its own booking flow, and that marker is about the aircraft now assigned to it. It is the closest thing to a per-flight answer this fleet has. The airline is asserting it; nobody has verified the install.
Roughly 52% of the fleet carries Starlink today, so a different departure is a real second draw. Whether that is worth doing is a question about the change fee on your fare, and it is cheaper to know the answer before the gate than at it.
Nobody has load-tested a full cabin on any of these systems, so a good score is not a promise about the hour you fly. Downloading the deck is the move that makes the odds stop mattering.
WestJet has Starlink on 100 of its 193 aircraft (52%) as of 2026-07, so it is better than a coin flip. Its ConnectScore is 72 out of 100, in the good band.
On WestJet it is free onboard. ConnectScore multiplies the fleet share by a free-for-you factor, so a paid or unconfirmed free claim scores lower than the same fleet given away free.

Everything on this page comes from what WestJet has published about its own fleet. Nobody has published what it was like in the seat. If you flew WestJet this month, thirty seconds here is a data point nobody else has.
