Is there a way I can search (not just see after finding flights) for flights that use a particular maker's aircraft, say if I want to avoid or have a particular affinity to one of the major makers?

This question is similar but ended up (3 years ago) with a suggestion on viewing the aircraft types after completing a search, which makes it quite tedious.

It should be possible to make a list of airlines and use checkboxes on the search page to include only appropriate companies- but many companies (as just a couple of examples, Cathay Pacific and Hainan Airlines) run a mixed fleet directly or through their subsidiary connector airlines, complicating things, without even getting into codeshares.

Edit: Nate has pointed out a similar question with an answer that works for this situation.

  • @NateEldredge No that's to find a particular type of aircraft, for example if you wanted to fly in an A380 for some reason. – Spehro Pefhany Oct 18 '17 at 05:46

    But the accepted answer shows how to search for flights operated by one of an arbitrary list of types - so do a search with a list of all possible Airbus types (there are not that many) and you have what you want. – Nate Eldredge Oct 18 '17 at 05:50
  • @NateEldredge Oh, you're right- that IATA code list does the trick. Apologies. – Spehro Pefhany Oct 18 '17 at 05:55
  • Airlines swap equipment assigned to a route, so a B777 currently serving that route could be replaced by an A330 if demand drops. Seems that would lead to upset travelers if they deliberately choose a Boeing flight and got an Airbus. –  Oct 18 '17 at 10:38
