Same plane return??
Maybe this is a call for the concierge but I thought I would ask here first. I have a 15 minute meeting in YWG tomorrow and fly in on AC294 landing at 11:42 YWG time. My meeting will be swift and inside the security area so I will stay close to gates.
I have booked coming back AC297 leaving 12:30 YWG time.
So my question is this. Is there any website or anywhere that will tell me if the plane I am flying on is just turning around and coming back?
If so I need not worry of any delays from YVR as it will only delay the return making my return safe. If it isn't a turnaround a delay in YVR could put my return in jeopardy. I am using my flight pass so can change YWG-YVR leg if it looks dodgy prior to leaving YVR.

Really a document pickup and short visit. So if it is the same plane reversed no issue at all. But thats the question is it the same plane?

There is a 319 from YYZ that lands at 11:33 and returns to YYZ at 12:20.
Unless they need to swap 319s in YWG for some reason you will most likely be on the same aircraft....maybe even same crew.
The PDF timetable shows flts 294/297 expiring on 9/4. That would also lead me to believe you are on the same fin#.

Thanks Andrew and all for your responses.
Just a note, I am not a drug courier.
I am accompanying my wife and children on the way there to help her as we have a young child. Then decided to combine quick meeting prior to coming back.
