[B]There's another way. Many aircraft have an ID plate installed on the inside of the door jamb. You can look for it while boarding. It will show the "tail number" and the date it rolled off the assembly line.

Years ago, before I quit flying NorthWorst, I was getting on a flight and looked at the door ID plate. Plane was OLD.... I said to flight attendant that the plane was older than she was. She laughed it off.
A few minutes later, she came over to my seat and whispered in my ear... "You were right... It is 5 years older than me...I checked"
