Beware of Code-Shares!

Airlines often have agreements with one another to co-market flights. Flights that are code-share, have 2 (or more) flight numbers; one for each airline participating in the code-share. When you book one of these flights, you'll often see "Operated by" in your itinerary. Whoever the plane is operated by determines which airline's plane will actually be flying the route. For example, you may have booked a United flight that says "Operated by US Airways". If this is the case, you'll want to look at the US Airways menu for your airplane.

Where can I find aircraft type on Expedia, Orbitz, Travelocity etc.?

For Expedia:

• After you've entered your desired travel dates and times, a list of available flights will appear. Click on the Preview Seat Availability link under your preferred flight.
• The Seat Map page will open, showing you the available seats on the plane. Directly under the seatmap is a text summary that details the route, airline, flight number, and plane type. Match up the airline and plane Type with the SeatGuru menu system.
• If there are multiple of the same plane type in the SeatGuru menu for the airline you are flying, try to match up the seating plans (i.e. exit rows locations, bulkhead locations, or row numbering).

For Orbitz:

Where can I find my plane type on the airline's website?

Usually, the aircraft type or 3-digit code will display for every available flight the airline provides for your itinerary. Match up the plane type or 3-digit code with the SeatGuru menu system. We place the 3-digit code for each aircraft in parenthesis following the airplane name and model. For example: Frontier Airbus A319 (319).

Another place to look is the Flight Schedule. Most airlines publish a flight schedule that can be viewed online, or downloaded to your computer. Typically the airline will list the 3-digit aircraft type for each flight. Match up the Airline and 3-digit number with the SeatGuru menu.

Still can't find your plane type?

You can always call the airline or your travel agent directly.
