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.
