Mid-haul A321s on European routes
Is there a convenient list of which European flights are (or typically are) operated with mid-haul A321s and therefore have the option to book the lie-flat seats in Aerspace? Can't find anything on search.

Current schedule, the equipment used is shown when booking under flight details in the search screen. These operate 7 days but confirm first that A321NEO is shown and you get the correct seat map with 2+2/1+1/2+2 layout

LHR DUB EI155

In the summer schedule expect a few more to appear,
EI202/203 DUB MAN comes up as NEO on some days

I took EI154 yesterday morning in AerSpace. With 3AK and 5AK booked already gone at time of booking I had gone for 2H. The purser must have spotted me taking a few photos when I got on so when 3A no-showed he suggested I hop on over. I did not need any persuading

They're long-haul A321s (A321neo LR) but they are only ever scheduled on the shortest of short-haul hops (LHR, CDG only)!

MUC and MAN are penciled in for Summer '23.
The 321NEOLR has lower landing fees than the 320CEO at many airports so the destination choice may be influenced by this
