why would you want to know the aircraft anyway?

You sure? That looks like an Airbus to me..?
Why not? It intruiged me and if I book I'll obviously want to know so I can fiddle around on SeatGuru.

Could still be an ATR-72 operated by someone else on Air France's behalf under a code sharing agreement or such like. Where are the flights between may I ask?
Could be a myriad of reasons. Personally I like to know what I'm flying on but that's because I'm really comically crap at flying. It's comical because I fly so much. Knowing what I'm flying on helps me know what to expect.

think so.. it could well be renamed airbus cant it? i mean the only info they give is "Air France AT7" which is not really a manufacturer of the aircraft it self?

Each flight has an equipment code which helps you identify the plane used - all flights have this. The equipment code of this flight is AT7 - this definately means something to somebody in the know, I'm hoping one of those people might read this thread

Well according to Air France's website when booking directly through them, it'll be an ATR-72. Possibly operated by Air France Regionale, which to keep things interesting, is operated separately from Air France itself, even though it's a wholly owned subsidiary.

I'd rather fly there via australia than on ryanair...
Personally always use KLM when I can.

So, an ATR-72 it would appear to be. Just try to make sure it's not icy when you fly eh?

Not just anal with the 5 then Fox?
I would be going with Ryanair, even though they are pretty terrible. Ain't worth 5 hours of my life!
