Boarding is not the first opportunity to know this - the flight plan has the tail number on it.
Apps such as Flighty (and I'm sure others, possibly even those without subscription) will provide access to those well ahead of time and notify you about changes.
It is unfortunate that "changing the plane type" is not grounds to change your ticket however.
- alkonaut 7y agoIf there is a late change of plane (final hours before flight is pretty common) due to technical problems or whatever, then that info may be accessible but it’s not very useful. It is useful for changing plans if the plane changes days or weeks before departure, but as you say it’s not ground for cancelling or changing your ticket, so buying new tickets every time one sees a 7M8 pop up is going to be really expensive with airlines that have many of them. I guess the better idea then is to avoid those airlines entirely, but that might not be possible at all destinations.
