What A/C did I fly in 1998 (YVR-LHR)
In early 1998 (Jan-Mar) I flew YVR-LHR-YVR on Air Canada. What aircraft would it have been? My mother says it was likely the 744 however I would like to be certain.
Many thanks!

Weren't the AC 744s the combi models, used mainly from YYZ to FRA and LHR?
I remember flying YYC-LHR in the nineties on ancient 747-100s. With Y on the upper deck, while the combi had J in front and upstairs.
I would be surprised if the combi ever operated in the West.
Their web page mentions non-combi 744s, but I suspect these were the CP ones.

I remember flying LHR - YVR on a 343 in August of '99. I believe in 2001 AC was flying 744's as my family were supposed to fly YVR-LHR on a 744 until we found a different routing so that we could get 4 J seats on miles.
