Easy way to see whether flight is A320 or E-190?

I couldn't find a post for this on the forum, or the Jetblue site, but apologies in advance if I've missed something obvious.

Is there an easy way to see which type of aircraft will operate a particular flight, without making a dummy booking and getting as far as the seat selection page? I've looked in the on-line and off-line timetables, but they don't mention the aircraft type.

This has been brought up in conversations before. Most of us do bring up dummy reservations to check to see what type of bird they're flying on that flight. The other option is going through flightaware.

I'm hoping that when B6 fully switchs over to the sabre booking system that there will be an easier way that surfaces shortly there after.

FlightAware will show you what HAS operated the flight, not necessarily what WILL operate the flight.

You really need to search the schedule to see what is likely to operate the flight. A shameless self-promoting plug for http://tools.wanderingaramean.com/timetable.aspx. It is free and you can limit the search to just jetBlue if you want. The results show the scheduled aircraft type:
Code:
Timetable -- JFK-BUF for date: 201001140000 on carrier JetBlue Airways
Carrier|Flight|From |To   |Dep. Time|Arr. Time|Schedule|Equipment|Duration|Exceptions|

If you search on Kayak and then click the "details" link on the specific itinerary you want, you will be able to see what kind of equipment Jetblue is using for each flight. Very easy.

It looks like the sabre conversion will be starting soon. I got a note saying that Trueblue / reservations will be unavailable from 1/29-1/30 to begin transitioning to the new system .
