One of the things we have in the roadmap is a 'does my flight have club suites?' alert to tell you if the situation changed - and we'll get to this in due course if people think it is useful!

But I'm also wondering if we can opensource/crowdsource a dashboard on the empirical data we are beginning to collect...it's a fairly simple check based on seatcount for a seatmap that has been called by a user, where the operating airline is BA and the aircraft type is 788 - it would be quite easy to built a reference table that simply had flight_number, from, to, isClubSuites/isNotClubSuites, lastObserved. And then a simple web page to display the data.... I don't know how much data we would need to make this 'useful' but happy to share anonymised data if people can make use of it....

thoughts?

(happy to be open enough that our vision is we'd like you to ultimately use (pay for!!!) our platform and get a whatsapp alert that your flight changed from old CW to Club Suites or vica versa!!!!!)
Sounds interesting but it has a very limited life. All 788s will be fitted or under fitment by October 25 an then 789s will go through a similar process completing in Spring 27 with A380s being fitted through 2026.

im about to do a YouTube video on this subject and there are two questions. What is my flight scheduled to be operated by? And then, What is risk of a aircraft change between booking and flying?

The risk in the second question depends on so many factors and future allocation is not easily predicted by past data.
