Difference in aircraft type between seat selection and flight status
Dear all,
I will be flying from BRU to T5 this Thursday on BA403, the seat selection has been showing a 21B aircraft type for many months. Today I checked the flight status for the same flight and it is showing an A320.
Is this a bit of advance warning that there will be an aircraft change or it could be some type of known issue with the flight status?
Thanks in advance!

Not sure what your question is...
21B is an internal code for an A321, perhaps it has been switched to an A320 (you don't indicate which 'model') because there is no need for the larger A321.

Hi LondonElite,
I only see what is in the second screenshot - no specific A320 model.
My point is, which one is correct or if the aircraft has already been switched, how long will it take for the seat selection to reflect the change. I have me and my wife in 1A / 1C - I would like to be able keep that if possible if there is an aircraft change Looking at the loads I see CE pretty much full to row 7, so I was presuming the loads would be similar further back too, and therefore it was a surprise they would switch a busy flight with a smaller aircraft.
