Any booking search engine that allows to book a/c types as a preference?

Never seen one Jeremy, but if I ever found one I would use it!

Me either and me too.
All I want is to get a on a T7 in the states without paying up the *** on trips that I already have to take anyways. It shouldn't be that hard - I have to fly SEA-ORD and back twice this year...early August and early September. And then SEA-BOS. There's lots of theoretical opportunities...
Heck I've even tried routing myself through Canada - SEA-YVR-YYZ-ORD: $750 RT - my fiance said no when we could go SEA-DFW-ORD on AA for $322.

I imagine United must cycle a 777 to either IAD, DEN, or ORD every once in a while as to change the aircraft operating to NRT, no? It's worth searching for.

I just found one - the DFW-ORD run.
UA runs a number of domestics into ORD from SFO, IAD & DEN. But I couldn't get them to load. I also tried ORD-LAX, LAX-ATL, MIA-LAX, IAH-EWR, ATL-JFK...but kept coming up empty...plus I don't want to route too far out of the way (as I search Canada).

UAL cycles a 777 ORD-IAD. My buddy just flew it yesterday.

AA will be upping one of their JFK-MIA flights to a 777 over the summer. SEA-MIA-JFK-BOS? Think of the miles!

Right, as they do with the 767 as well. I flew on a 763 from LAX to ORD in August. However I forgot to add that I was referring to the SEA-NRT route. I imagine there is a domestic 777 rotation out of SEA every once in a while?

The best you can do is request that all your flights be on jets. I think Priceline does this.

Booked! DFW-ORD & ORD-DFW on AA T7's. Now it's just time to cross my fingers and pray they don't switch the type out.

I doubt they will unless the seats dont fill. Hope you get a special 777 they have.

For future reference, you can select aircraft type when doing an advanced search on Amadeus.

Cool though not much of a help since it isnt a U.S. carrier.

Amadeus is a search engine...
