I always have to keep double checking who transfers to who, so I made this diagram to keep everything straight. Hopefully it's useful for you too!

Yep, I do mention as much in the disclaimers for the site when you put in a flight. It's true that airlines fully have the right to change the aircraft, but they also reserve the right to change basically any part of your itinerary (e.g. move you from one flight to another under unexpected circumstances/IRROPS). I figure presenting info that has a high probability of being correct is better than not presenting any info at all just because of a chance of it being incorrect under IRROPS circumstances.

On the note of high probability: we do use data sources that plug into the GDS booking systems for the flights, so it's not just a historical thing for this site specifically. While that once again doesn't give us a guarantee, it's likely better than relying on previous route aircraft stats.

I think emotive/political language aside, it explains that the 737 MAX was pushed out the door to catch up with Airbus's newer, more fuel-efficient engines. Boeing basically used an existing plane design and jammed the engine in there, and tried to offset it with a new MCAS technology to help with the nose pitch issues. While it's worked most of the time, seems there's some edge cases in that tech that might not have been there had there been a ground up redesign.

I think this twitter thread might provide a more objective take on the same types of content in the article: https://twitter.com/emorwee/status/1770833808222277890

Yea I think this should be possible! I'll add it in.

Yep thanks for adding this clarification! Planes swap out last minute for operational reasons all the time, so nothing is guaranteed until you're physically on the plane.

The details are still hazy but it does seem there was some actual supply chain and manufacturing issues with some of these planes. There's a few people that have done pretty nice deep dives on this, like https://heated.world/p/boeings-big-green-disaster.

If there's enough interest in this I'm happy to oblige!

Yea personally I do believe air travel remains remarkably safe, but for some people it does help with peace of mind. Travel is stressful enough I figure!

Haha thanks to whomever shared this! I'm Shrey and I'm actually the guy who developed this site. I travel a ton (and run a travel company too!) and I kept having friends ask me how to avoid Boeing planes, so I figured i'd make this to help out. Hope y'all find it useful :)
