Thank you for the suggestion/feedback, this is something the BA Moderators and Ambassadors are discussing.

- go to thebasource to find out IFE standard in the Fleet section.
- go to the Dashboard for the wifi status.
It's not perfect, not least as here when there is last minute change since Flightradar isn't a perfect data source. You can also look at Expertflyer and work out the frame type and thus work out the likely IFE and wifi status if you know your equipment well enough (or search the relevant FT threads).
[There is an offline discussion between Ambassadors / Mods on how to handle this going forward].

on BA, I have no idea, on UA the flight details has the tail ID (or some goofy UA number which can also easily be looked up) as soon as the aircraft is assigned to your flight - typically 48-72hrs before the flight
Not sure if EF would provide that data
