Finding a rego for UA NRT-TPE

Torin Wilson · #1 25th January 2009, 01:34 PM

Hi all,

I flew UA853 NRT-TPE last night, and in the rush I forgot to check which aircraft I was on.

Does anybody out there know an ACARs list or something where I can find the rego?

Thanks heaps

neither of those could be considered 100% correct, UA usually change a/c in Tokyo, when I was on UA 803 from IAD to SIN we switched 777's at Narita.

Monty, I would read this ACARS as N798UA operating the SFO-NRT sector, and N788UA operating the NRT-TPE sector. Both these flights were on the same day and with UTC times, this would be 2238 EDST for N798UA.

Thanks for the help guys.

Flew N218UA back to Narita, the star alliance 777 and then got NW to Seoul/ICN. Such a contrast of airlines!
