How to Check if flight has WiFi/Fly-Fi

I'm flying tomorrow, and I don't know what/where to look in JetBlue's mobile app to check if my flight is equipped.

The website has this:
How do I know I’m on a Fly-Fi® plane?
A Fly-Fi® decal will be visible on the outside of the aircraft beside the boarding door and instructions on how to connect to Fly-Fi® will be available in the seatback card. Some routes – such as our NYC-LAX route – will always have Fly-Fi. Although you won't know if the Internet is available on your flight at the time of booking, the day before your flight, you can check the JetBlue mobile app to see if your flight is Fly-Fi equipped.
When I look at my flight/reservation on the app, I can't tell anything. Any suggestions? Thanks!

If you are checked in then there should be a wifi icon next to the flight number.

If you're on an E90 then it will not have FlyFi. If you're on an A321 then it will. If you're on an A320 there is a 98% chance it will, though I got one of the few unequipped planes last month.

So you don't see it until check-in? I have an afternoon flight tomorrow, so still a few hours to go.

Thanks for your response..

Looks like I'll be part of the 2% A320s without Fly-Fi :-(....no symbols anywhere.

They used to post a list of the flights with Fly-Fi daily. I'm assuming once the list got so long, they discontinued.

So this morning the Fly-Fi icon is showing up next to my flight number in the mobile app. But it has an asterisk noting 'subject to change'. Does it always have the asterisk or is it unusual?

Aircraft swaps happen a lot. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.

The first plane went live with the service this morning. And I know because I'm sitting on it right now somewhere between Boston and Dulles.
