Aircraft Type 73H
When looking at availability tool on a JFK-LAX DL is using an aircraft of type '73H'. This is different from the normal 737-800 indication. Does this mean it's one of the updated 738's with AVOD?

Just to manage expectations, based on my experience the 73H designation means new seats/higher capacity, and nothing more. A couple of weeks ago I flew the 73H from MSY-LAX and was expecting AVOD and winglets, but in fact it was a traditional 738, no winglets, new seats (with AC outlets, at least in first), but no AVOD. YMMV.
