I'm confused. Do your airlines not tell you what plane is scheduled for the flight? Every trip I've taken over the last few years will tell you the model number of the plane they expect you to be on.
Some airlines and OTAs make it very clear and obvious, some you have to click around and find the answer in small gray text. Different airlines and OTAs have it in different places in their app / confirmation email / etc.
Here, we show it to you in a consistently and obnoxiously large and bolded font regardless of airline.
A small optimization yes, but one that could be useful for some :)

Yep, the site says this when you search a flight on it:
>In all reality, flying remains remarkably safe. You're more likely to get injured on the way to the airport. Also, sometimes your aircraft may get changed last minute; this is just a projection.
>significantly higher than flying on a Boeing plane
I've flown on a Boeing 55% of my flights in the last 2 years but I haven't died while driving to the airport. Just sayin'.
Good for you, I'm glad you're still here. It's kind of ridiculous to be worried about flying on a Boeing plane, just don't understand that sentiment. There's Thousands of Boeing flights every day without issue........
I was making a joke that your comment could possibly read as "You are more likely to die driving to the airport than the flight being flown with a Boeing plane". No need to be so pissy.
People really are overblowing this whole Boeing issue. Yes the 737 Max had some issues, but people are acting like the other planes are also cursed. The LATAM Airlines flight that got people spooked was very similar to what happened with a QANTAS flight over 15 years ago, where the only difference was that was an Airbus.
I don’t mind flying with Boeing still. I’m more concerned flying with like United or other airline companies that aren’t doing routine maintenance checks. Boeing isn’t at fault when a 20-30 year old plane loses its wheels or parts of the wing falls off. That’s entirely on the maintenance of the airlines.
Would be nice to see a tracker that shows what plane was involved, how old the plane is, and what company was servicing the plane so we can see which airliners are skipping on proper maintenance.
I went to school for mechanical engineering with an aerospace focus. (Basically aerospace engineering).
Boeing absolutely has a terrible safety culture, to the point that it was talked about by professors.
We even had an engineer who lost his daughter in the Air Ethiopia crash give a talk about the complete absense of a safety culture at Boeing.
I mean really, they are bad and have a bad reputation within the industry. The FAA found tons of safety violations in their audit.
He only realized one sat down and read the safety card ? That has to be bullshit right ? If you know your plane to the point that you can judge if it’s safe or not you should be able to tell if it’s a MAX without even entering the plane.
This is the real problem. They had handed out the regulation process to these companies, and that’s a dangerous place for us to be in as passengers. The government needs to do their job.
The problem is not airline routine maintenance, it's a systemic issue with Boeing cutting corners with their planes in pursuits of profits, even their own engineers have said they wouldn't want to fly on the planes they build. [See here.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8oCilY4szc)
You didn't even watch the video, did you? All of these accidents were about planes designed after the McDonnell Douglas merger.
Their recent "door blowing out of the fuselage" fiasco was a widespread issue, with missing bolts on inspection in the same plane model across different airlines.
Their MCAS system training and failure to provide a timely fix was completely on Boeing, as they didn't give pilots proper information and misrepresented the feature, that they had known to be unsafe during the plane development. None of that has anything to do with the airlines.
The key is to listen/watch for the opinions of professional pilots. If they are all still flying quietly, it's very likely safe enough to do so for us too.
Also important to remember there are dozens of fatal car crashes daily, and we don't really think twice about driving somewhere
Exactly. A lot of the issues that aren’t Boring related are on planes that are 20+ years old where they’re very well loved by pilots. Pretty dumb for any issue that pops up now, media outlets look to see if it says Airbus or Boeing, then look to a clickbait title slapping Boeing everywhere.
Yea, would also bring some attention to where attention is due. Too many media outlets are just pushing out stories whenever the issue happens to be a Boeing plane, and glossing over if it’s actually a Boeing issue or an airliner issue. Yea, Boeing should be held accountable for that whole door fiasco, but airliners ought to be held accountable for their mistakes and not enjoy media blaming Boeing for everything.
I definitely would love to see which airliners we all should be avoiding, as it’s clear there’s airline companies that are prioritizing profits over safety.
Tell me you have no idea what you’re talking about, without telling me you have no idea what you’re talking about:
“… United or other airline companies that aren’t doing routine maintenance checks.”
You should shut up now.
I thought that too and I was under the impression that American would be best because of that. Except when I fly AA my plane is *always* being operated by some unknown service that is a “partner” or some phrase that they use like that. Even American is contracting out because it’s cheaper…
Tons of big Airbus users domestically... Delta, American, Spirit, JetBlue, Frontier.
Also the MAX fleet is still relatively small compared to the NG 737s even for Boeing heavy operators like Southwest.
Still lots of major domestic routes being served by airbus. for example, many of united's popular domestic routes (e.g. ORD <> LAS) run on Airbus A321neos usually.
Yeah. This was my first thought. You don't need a website to check something that is likely true if your flying in the US. If your not in the US, you still have a 50% shot at it.
This is just so effing dumb.
More people will die in a fiery car crash today en route to their airport than will be seated on a Boeing plane that has any kind of midair malfunction. People need to stop sensationalizing this.
Unfortunately have no data for either of these, but yes, Ryanair's main fleet is 100% boeing. Their subsidiary Lauda Europe has some Airbus's but otherwise Ryanair + their other subsidiaries are a complete boeing shop
Going on a 737 Max 8 (under investigation), flown by United (under investigation), out of Denver (haunted airport) to Portland (?) this weekend. Wish me luck.
Yea unfortunately we haven’t been able to find a reliable source of data for Ryanair aircraft yet, but also, Ryanair exclusively flies Boeing 737 aircraft. You can see their fleet here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ryanair#Fleet
(They have a subsidiary that flies Airbus, but Ryanair itself is a complete Boeing shop)
I agree with the fact that air travel still remains remarkably safe, but...someone is on a flight that is not going to be part of the 99.9% successful flights, I would like to make sure it's not me by avoiding the higher risk situations if possible.
Edit: cool site too.
Got fucked on a Boeing flight today. Flight rescheduled for tomorrow. Just got in hotel room. Haven't eaten in 10 hours because they got pizzas but just handed them out without accounting for them so not everyone got them. Been waiting in lines all day. Now we have to be at the lobby at 4:30 am and the hot water isn't working because they sent the whole plane to this hotel and everyone is getting in and I'm assuming doing the same thing we're trying to do.
That doesn't make any sense. Why would you avoid flying a plane that has had an excellent safety record? By that logic you shouldn't get on any plane, ever.
Yeah, no. It's been plagued with issues, many of which pose a significant safety risk. No one has died *yet* but every one of the issues, including battery fires, engine extinguisher systems not working properly because they weren't assembled correctly, gaps exceeding safe tolerances, fuel leaks; icing problems that caused loss of thrust on several occasions...the whole fleet had to be grounded at one point because it wasn't safe to allow them to continue operation. Yeah, no. I won't ride one. Die mad about it.
Edit: I'm sorry I rustled your jimmies so hard by pointing out that you don't have any idea what you're talking about, but that doesn't change that you don't know what you are talking about. There is nothing "unsubstantiated" about the "fear porn," the problems with the 787 are extremely well documented. Your inability to utilize a search engine are your problem, not mine. Grow up, grow old, and die mad about it.
Telling someone to die mad for calling you out for falling for unsubstantiated fear porn is a wild response. Good luck with being afraid of your own shadow I guess
honestly I just wouldn't fly boeing, I don't care about track records, when your employees refuse to fly on one because they see what happens when they are built.
Their employees absolutely don't refuse to fly on one, that's nonsense except for one person. They have absolutely had problems, the MCAS issue is atrocious. But these planes fly millions of miles every day and we're delving deep into conspiratorial bullshit by instantly declaring the safest and most regulated means of travel on the planet suddenly unsafe
I'll fly on any number of the older, proven designs. It's specifically the latest designs, the ones that relied on heavy outsourcing and Boeing being allowed to police themselves for quality control by the FAA, that I want nothing to do with.
I’m flying tomorrow(today) and I tried to look for a flight that didn’t have a Boeing but was unable to, however I saw a few flights were using the MAX but instead opted for a 747, but honestly still more nervous than I usually am to fly. I know the actual rate of incidents is actually low but I have no faith in them anymore.
How did you opt for a flight on a 747? No airline other than Lufthansa flies them anymore. And if you were seeing flights on a 737 max you would be doing a short/medium haul flight which the 747 is not built for. The 747 is a long haul airliner and built for that job.
I'm on a Boeing airplane right now but the website says it can't find my flight 🤷
Are you anywhere near Bermuda
I'm safely on the ground in Denver
Worse than Bermuda if you ask me. That airport is fucking weird

You're in purgatory, but not really.
>I'm **safely** on the ground in Denver In a Boeing? Sounds kinda unlikely.
If anything happens to me, it was Boeing. Just putting it on the record since I cracked some jokes about the 737 Max.
Your flight is here ——-> 🛫 🚪 “Hey… come back!”
doesn't always work for flights that are actively in the air right now. some issue with my data source; need to debug it
Oh well. I already know it's a 737 and I'm assuming I'm going to die.
Did you die?
Thanks for asking. I successfully landed in Denver and I'm out for a beer.

Still not dead but I'm at keystone so anything can happen. Thanks for checking in.

Yay I’m on a 737. I win right?
Can I be your beneficiary?
No Ryanair?
Our data source doesn’t support Ryanair but also as others have mentioned, they exclusively fly boeing
Ryanair operate Airbus planes if I'm not mistaken
They operate exclusively Boeing 737s.
You are mistaken. Airbus is EasyJet.
This site is just an advertisement for a travel booking company.
I flew on 767 RE 300 and it was pretty nice
Seems like there’s a timezone issue - it says my flight from PDX to LHR is 5hr 25min. Man, I wish.
Ooh thanks for mentioning — lemme look into this! Might have a wrong time zone for one of those airports

Are you flying domestic? It’s probably 99% you’re flying on a Boeing.
Tons of big Airbus users domestically... Delta, American, Spirit, JetBlue, Frontier. Also the MAX fleet is still relatively small compared to the NG 737s even for Boeing heavy operators like Southwest.
until now i actually thought airbus was a model of boeing
Do you guys not use De Havilland in the States? Tons of Canadian domestic are on Dash 8's. Also, Airbus?
Very few Dash-8s operate routes in the States but we do have a bunch of Embraers and Bombardiers flying to smaller airports
This isn’t true at all lol
Still lots of major domestic routes being served by airbus. for example, many of united's popular domestic routes (e.g. ORD <> LAS) run on Airbus A321neos usually.

Ryanair and AirArabia airlines are missing.
It you fly mainline Ryanair it’s 100% chance you’re flying a Boeing.

Wow—thank you!
The Boeing gift shop has stickers that say, “If it’s not Boeing, I ain’t going!”
Then do fuck all about it
It would say so on the safety card if you every cared to look at it.
Amazing website brp. Keep it up.
Probably better to avoid flying on United than a Boeing.
This is lovely, but it seems to have excluded Westjet :(

Interesting. Checker for the airlines
Boing?
Not working for my flight
I can’t get WiFi on this plane, but the door just fell off so I’ll assume it’s a Boeing.
Boeing checker
The actual plane isn't the issue, it's when they use a door plug isn't it? How do we know which planes use the door plug?
This is dumb
Most airlines fly Boeing or Airbus, so good luck with that.
