Had family on AA2309 yesterday from DFW to ORD. It was supposed to be a MD-80 departing at 1:20pm. It then got delayed to 5pm and was switched out to a wide-body.

All the logs I found still show that the MD-80 flew it, but it was definitely a wide-body. A FA mentioned to my family that this was the plane coming from NRT that went through turbulence and was being re-positioned to ORD (which is why they switched out the MD-80).

Given the flight log posted above, these are not the same planes. Anyone know the back-story of this plane used yesterday?
