Finding out a/c type

Hello all, I thought this would be the best place to ask seeing as it's bugging me so much!

Me and the OH are flying with Air France to JFK (hoorah I'm finally going to America ^) ) and I'm trying to find out what a/c type we'll be on and I can't for the life of me figure it out. Doesn't help that I'm doing it from DL codeshare flight numbers which is throwing me off even more!

Is there somewhere I can find out this info? I know obviously it can change and from what I've seen from flight radar they use the 380 and 777 but like I say I'm sat here looking at the inbound flights on FR trying to workout turnaround times to work out outbound a/c type xx(

Any help much appreciated!

Expedia shows aircraft type, just do a dummy booking and home in on the flight combination that matches yours. You can select Delta as preferred airline and that way you'll get the DL options at the top, although it'll say "operated by Air France". You could also look on the Air France site, just locate the flights on your date that have identical times to yours.

Ah so simple, thank you!

Although looks like it is actually Delta although my booking states flown by air france, I guess flown by is different to operated by?!

Not seen "flown by" before, just "operated by" - what is your flight number, date and originating airport?

CDG-JFK DL1023 2nd April
JFK-CDG DL1014 16th April

I just did a search for D1014 and on flight aware it's showing as AF11 on a 777.

Yes definitely operated by Air France. It's a Boeing 777-300 - have a great flight :)
