Heathrow to BCN on 26th of Feb returning 2nd March is almost completely sold out despite the fact the fare is £1k+ in ET.
You are absolutely right! TK is known for its exceptional flexibility in changing aircraft types, you sometimes have IST-ESB or IST-ADB (45 minute flights) with 77W's during peak periods or IRROPS, while regularly you would have A319's/320/321/737-800's.
You know months ahead exactly what type of plane BA will have on any route, and so far the plane type I have been on has never changed from the plane type I booked.
