My first ever trip with Spirit:
Feb 23 NK799 BOS-TPA A319
Feb 27 NK794 TPA-BOS A319
4 AUG DL1762 BOS-ATL A321
4 AUG DL 174 ATL-MXP 767-400
7 AUG W6 4352 BGY-SOF A321 (Wizz Air)
25 AUG W6 4351 SOF-BGY A321
28 AUG AA199 MXP-JFK B763
28 AUG AA199 JFK-BOS A320
Great news! I wish they had done it earlier. I am flying them twice this summer.
In their defense I would like to point out that the fees and rules are listed quite clearly so I would not trust the surprised travellers.
What is the oldest A320 in service and where is it now? Does anyone know?
... oh wait! I can check AirFleets. According to their list it is Air India's VT-EPF, MSN49, first flown on May 19, 1989. I wonder if that information is correct...

Jump to postIs there a way to find out the registration of the aircraft I'd be flying tomorrow, Aug 3 BOS-FCO?
Flightaware does not display the registrations. I thought I might track the incoming flight but it won't help.
