Where The Widebodies Are

[Mattg]

I came across this website which looks rather interesting:

wherethewidebodiesare.com

You can type in any airport and it will give you a list of domestic widebody services departing from that airport. You can also filter by date and airline.

It seems to also include cargo services, e.g. Cathay Pacific's SYD-WTB service is listed there. But helpfully, it also seems to count the EU/Schengen Area as one country for the purposes of finding widebody services which could be helpful if you're travelling around Europe and looking for a "real" J product.

Yes I even found SQ...

Interesting website but it seems to have out-of-date data. For exMEL on 3-Jan-22 it shows these flights all widebody:


I know that all flights to SYD before the 15:45 service have already been downgauged to 737s almost 3 weeks ago as I was originally booked on QF442.

ITA Matrix currently show the A330 flights that match up with QF's website info:

Yeah, it's not 100% accurate but a useful guide, perhaps.

I think the data is cached and updated every few weeks.

I've recently learned that Finnair is now running A330s/A350s on HEL-BRU and HEL-AMS (in addition to HEL-LHR).

Unfortunately the site Where The Wide Bodies Are has gone.

I only used it infrequently, and I expect it had a very small target market.

Shame to lose another handy travel planning resource.

I've used an alternative previously suggested by @henrus:

One of the best ways to search all JQ 787 domestic flights is using ITA Matrix.

https://matrix.itasoftware.com/search

You can enter multiple origins and destinations (so I enter all JQ 787 origins/destinations), then under advanced controls enter aircraft t:787 as the extension code, select "see calendar" and put a start date, finally select nonstop only.


When you press search you'll get results like this:


and when you click on one of the dates you'll see the flight options on that date:



Ignore the prices as they're typically a bit lower...

This HfP article was published yesterday - for anyone in or heading to Europe.

Which airlines have lie-flat business class seats on intra-Europe flights?

Is anything in aviation more fun than getting a lie-flat Business Class seat for a short 2-3 hour flight across Europe? We look at which airlines offer them.

Yes, I did see it (I'm a subscriber). In reality it's only TK, the rest is just the odd route which can (and is) changed on a whim. But interesting nevertheless.

Yes, I was surprised by the number of TK sectors! I guess they’re competing with the ME carriers to some extent, so need a suitable product.
