Identifying aircraft type in advance

[Kolo]

I usually get row 3 and while I love the leg room, sometimes on a short flight (usually HBA-MEL and return) I'd love to watch some news or sport. On the older 737s this is available with live2air but not, of course, in row 3. So if I know it was going to be available I might select row 4 instead.

Is there a way of knowing in advance - at time of booking, or maybe when OLCI opens - which type 737 will be operating the service?

Row 4 won't have Live2Air either due to the row 3 seats in front don't have the screens in the back (row5 and beyond have the screens) I believe if the seat map shows 29 rows its one of the older birds with Live2Air.

If the seat map when booking shows 29 rows of seats, it will be one of the older -800s with live to air fitted. (the new aircraft have 30 rows)

Edit: completely wrong. Nothing to see here.

29 Rows, Brisbane-Mackay VA621




30 rows Brisbane-Sydney va962

Both 737-800s- Seat map is from expertflyer

Thanks Dom. I misread 737NGs post too, which didn't help!

is anyone able to tell me which plane VA328 BNE to MEL is? We are in row 3 and I had assumed we would have no IFE so taking the ipad for the kids but would hate to get on and find everyone has it APART from us (would not bode well for moaning kids). many thanks

ETA: all sorted now.. thanks for your help " you know who you are "​
