Ive seen them change equipment on the fly,  so doubtful that it can be predicted or believed.
Can check on FR24 pretty easily, once they load it.
Thanks and thanks. Would there be anyway to tell if it's a retrofitted A320 on FR24? It's not like it has a different moniker or something as far as I could tell..

Flightstats.com usually posts the tail number once it's loaded.
The tail number often changes but it's usually the same aircraft type.

You can see by tail number on FR24.

Sorry for making you spoon feed me, but what does it help me if I have the tail number? Is there somewhere on JetBlue's website or elsewhere where I could see if that's the retrofitted plane or not?

Tickets were booked with no FF# and was in Group 1 boarding group, then put an AA FF# and was bumped up to group 3 on one segment and group 2 on the 2nd why is that?
 It was an iberia flight with no FF and then put in an AA ff#?
 
 Any reason for that? They mad that I'm crediting the miles earned for what's being flown to another account?   

 I guess I should always leave it blank to see what they offer for boarding and then if it's no good or whether it is good  After I get a printable pass I just update my flight with my ff#.

JFK-PRG Via FRA on LH.
Is the FRA-PRG real business or fake?

Its an hour or so flight why would you  care? Can almosr guarantee its blocked middle seat.
Fair warning - Any PMs sent in response to forum posts are fair game for ridicule in public.

I still don't understand why people want to be on plane for more time.

Lol, only like boarding first to settle in and get the over head space without making a ruckus and moving around people's belongings to make space for my own.
  As well should there be an extra seat near me I can start enjoying it causing no one to take it.

BTW being the last one on the plane, gives you the option to choose any available seats (I ones used that to get a seat for my one year old)

Meaning You asked someone who was next to an empty seat to swap a seat with you?

I started making myself comfortable so they assumed that (their extra seat) was one of my seats.

When requesting the mandatory EU compensation from KLM they have the option of getting a voucher for more money than the cash amount, can I use that voucher for anyone or is it only for the passenger that's entitled to the compensation?

How much more are they offering? Cash is always better..

I don't know yet. If I can use the voucher for other people and get full value, it's better than cash.
