Why would you want to know what type of plane you are flying on?
Many people will want to know what type of aircraft they are flying on for a number of reasons. Nervous flyers often find it helpful to thoroughly research details of their flight, such as the specific plane information. Other people are simply interested in and intrigued by this information.
There are some aircraft that have a 'hype' around them making people want to fly on them. Examples of these are the Boeing 787 Dreamliner and the Airbus A380. There are also aircraft such as the Boeing 737 Max models, that people want to double-check they will not be flying on them.

FAQs
Will the aircraft information change before my flight?
Sometimes the airline will change the plane which was due to be used before your flight. This can be due to many reasons. For example, if a plane is needing maintenance, cleaning or repair, it will not fly and will instead be replaced with a similar plane, but may not always be the same model. Alternatively, there are sometimes weather disruptions which mean the original intended plane is unable to fly.
