Morning all,
Got a relative flying home today from Phoenix, just wondered if anyone can tell me what type of aircraft this flight will be?

Cheers

Thanks Dnomyar.

I've even managed to find the route of the flight on FlightAware.com, pity it doesn't show the actual progress though! Would assume it's somewhere over the North Atlantic at this moment...

Edit: correction, just found a slightly different page which DOES show actual progress, speed & altitude. 35000' at 481kts over Canada- what a useful site!

Dilligaff - that's brilliant!! How did you find that out? You must have access to 'inside information'!!

Can you tell me anything else about the flight??! (Interesting or otherwise!!)

You are correct Rich I do have access to inside information. I am sitting at a PC deep in the bowels of BA Engineering at LHR. Afraid I cannot give any more info, people might get upset.
