Can anyone comment on where the easiest place to spot the tail numbers for Korean Air flights (I will be flying on A330-200 and B777-300). Unfortunately, for the A330 flights, it will be at night, so I wanted to know ahead of time where it might be best to look.

I was going to check using flight24.com (http://data.flight24.com/flights/ke6/, http://data.flight24.com/flights/ke5/ respectively), but it seems the data is a little off and it might not be accurate (at least with the times, and ke6 shows it stopping over in LA, which it doesn't right now)?

I remember looking at my older flight pictures, and even taking pictures of planes (Singapore Air), I found I could not see the tail registration numbers at all (bad angle I guess. I guess it would be best to try and look at the plane from the side if I can?). But i wanted to start keeping track of the tail numbers if I could.

The best way I found to know the tail number is to look at the front landing gear and there should be the last few digits of the number printed on the plate where the landing gear meets the fuselage. This is normally visible from the airbridge or even from the waiting area nearby the gate.

Just go to the Korean Air Cargo website. Click the flight operation status tab on the left, and then they will show the tail number(HL number) of entire flights for the date you select.
Here's the link.
