Once you have the tail number use the Production List Search on this site to identify the aircraft type.http://www.planespotters.net/Production_List/index.php

It would seem FlightMemory now gives "EconomyPlus" as a travel class option. This is new as of the last couple of weeks. I went back and changed over 90 or so of my UA flights

Guys what is giving me a considerable headache is the lack of tail number information online on non-US flights.
Some of them I have been able to trace back through libhomeradar/acarsd (this is a unix project of amateur flight enthusiasts that pick up plane beacon signals and log them), but there are quite a few tail numbers I can't retrace.
Do you know any other way or would it be worthwhile mailing the airlines with the question to have a peek in their history books?

Isn't there a DOT site that logs the tail numbers of historical flights?
I've never bothered to track tail numbers (enough work to keep up my flight memory as it is!) so I forget what the address is and exactly what data it contains, but I seem to recall discussion on FT about it. It lags by something like 6 months, though, IIRC.

I'm having trouble pulling it up right now, but I think you're thinking of the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) website. Among other things, it does list tail numbers, but only for US airlines, and domestic flights only. It does lag at least a couple months--I think it has data for March or April right now.

Searching for international flights
A couple sites where I've been able to find tail numbers on int'l flights. I think these may be linked earlier in this thread but it won't hurt to share them again...

Kinda curious how many of you all here label your FM entries ... if you fly domestic first, do you label it as First? Or as Business? Because then I fly international business (which is miles ahead of domestic first) and feel bad that it's labeled as a "lesser product" in my FM.
Then it gets complicated because I fly transcons with business classes that are better than domestic first classes.

Incidentally, my brother got me a year of FlightMemory Premium for my birthday. It's pretty amazing, all the extra features are all.

).I wish the domestic carriers would rename their premium cabins to something like "Domestic Sub-Par Business" to make it easier to compare them with real premium cabins, but for now, I do as CMK10 does.

I was pleased to find a site that could esily map flight information.
But the data input is slow! I can type and enter fast but it's the occasional lagtime in processing... after 200 entries - I can see a cool picture -- but I've got another 1500 flights and am not keen on hours of inputting - just not worth it. I've got everything in a good excel sheet (thanks to importing much of the old Northwest worldperks info and reformatting it...), but I'm also not keen on spending over $100+ on just having them 'import the data. That to me is just too much
I just want get a chart and the chart pricing is high but OK, but the cost to import it too pricy - and I'm at the point of looking for an alternative.
Has anyone in the community seen any other entity that can map this and possibly produce a high-end pdf or jpg?? I've looked through this thread and seen some - but are there any that do the charting as a service?
Thanks!
