Which website to tell the tail number of a BA flight in advance?
Hi,
I am sure that I used to have a website to tell me which aircraft we or anyone else would be on a day or two in advance.
Either that website is now different or I have forgotten!!
Probably the latter!!
If anyone can point me in the direction of a website for BA flights that would be appreciated. I think BA Source is only for after the flight.

This information is not reliably available a day or two in advance, it can change at any time before the flight departs, and sometimes the information will not be shown for a specific flight until it is airborne.

You may be thinking of www.flightradar24.com, now reachable via www.fr24.com.

Just don't ask a member of BA's staff as apparently the information is Top Secret
