Seat 1A old BE A330-200?
Hi guys,
Up until yesterday DL 400 for April 9 showed the new BE and I was seating in 5A.
As luck (or lack of it) would have it, this morning it shows old BE sleeper seats, and I was relocated to 4B. Wanting to keep the window I relocated myself to 1A, but I am not familiar with the aircraft and wonder if there is indeed less leg room in 1A.
Last time I flew that old product I was seating in 5A which had great legroom but it's not available at this point.
If anyone wants to share insight that would be great.
Thanks!

I think there's plenty of leg room. I could still get around the person in the aisle seat when they were fully reclined and sleeping.
I'd actually choose 1A or 1J due to the extra room, in fact.

Amazing, in that there is only ONE 332 in the fleet that has either not been through mods or is currently in them, and ALL of the 333s have been done--or are in progress.
What are the chances of hitting the only frickin one left that hasn't been redone--and will be in mods within the next week or so.
Having said that, since it is what it is, the bulkhead seats (like the 1A you selected) have tons of extra room, and it would be easy to get into the aisle around the person in 1B.

So how do I find the tail number on Flightaware if I know the flight number?

You can brute force your way into it... start with a list of all the registration numbers for the equipment type operating your flight, punch them in one at a time, and see which one is actually scheduled for your flight.
