Hi all!

Is there a way/place where I can find out what brand/model plane is
(usually) used to service a certain flight number? I booked my
holiday, and am curious what kind of planes I'll be flying in... ;-)

Regards,
Evert

oh my, I'm having flashbacks....I used to work for a major computer
company (now extinct, but aren't most of them?). They handed me
the pocket version of the OAG, a company Amex car, and a portable
terminal with built-in modem and said "Go Forth and Make Money for Us".
Wonderful 5 years of my life, spoiled me, fer sure!

Always a laugh to be stuck in an airport, surrounded by the "suits"
and here's this 20-something girl wearing jeans and a tshirt pulling out
the OAG...All of a sudden, I had *lots* of friends!

Of course that was many years ago, and far too many pounds ago...

Now, we all just pull out the cell phones...

A great website, with lots of info. But... I'm having trouble finding
the page where I can enter my flight number(s) and get a plane model
returned...

Hmm, does this also do non-US flights? I tried KL0809 & KL4122, but
neither give any result...

OK KL0809 is a 747 (Mixed Configuration) (COMBI)


and KL2144 is also tagged as HM149 which is listed as a

Boeing 777-200 flown by Malaysia Airlines
(with two different flight numbers)
7Hour 30min flight
