stevehnz Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 (edited) In 2014, my eldest son & I flew Cathay Pacific to the UK & back. Upon out return, I looked our flights up on Flightradar24 & was surprised to see we'd flown the HKG-LHR-HKG legs in the same aircraft, a Boeing 777-300ER, B-KQA I think, & this is what I'd like confirmed or corrected if possible. 3 years later, not having a paid subscription to FR24 or any of the similar websites, I can no longer look our flights up to confirm this so I'm hoping that someone who does have a sub might be able to help out on this if indeed this is possible. Our flights were Hong Kong - London, flight CX257 on the 17 September 2014 & return CX 256 on the 12 October 20. I've recently become keen on the idea pf airliner modelling after seeing some of the wonderful efforts to be found in these pages & fancy a Zvezda 1/144 777-300 with some 26decals for the scheme current when we flew, it'd be nice if it carried the righr rego too.

stevehnz Posted September 17, 2017 Author Share Posted September 17, 2017 Nobody out there in flight tracking? I've amended the title to hopefully be more descriptive of what I'm after. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brown Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Oops, sorry, missed this one Steve. Gimme a mo and I'll have a look. Rick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brown Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Ah, doesn't look possible for FR24. I can only go back 12 months. I can't find it on Flightaware, Planefinder or ADSB Exchange. Sorry Steve, you could be out of luck. It does, however, seem to be a common route for that aircraft. Rick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul J Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 On one of the "flight radar" type sites you can go back a long time but you have to sign up and subscribe! Not sure which one though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted September 17, 2017 Author Share Posted September 17, 2017 Thanks guys, Rick, at least you've confirmed I've possibly got the right one. Paul, that's what I'd kind of figured, so hoping to find one such profligate keen type among the members of this site. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted September 17, 2017 Author Share Posted September 17, 2017 I've been having a look at FR24, even a business account only gives a years back searches. Flightaware appears to offer searches by year & /or date but for a fairly exorbitant amount for what I'm after so it may be that my quest is not realistic via this route. maybe an email to Cathay Pacific might get me there. I'm surmising that KQA was the plane we flew as its the only CP 777-300 I've got saved in my photos folder. I distinctly recall that just after the flights FR24 showed we'd flown the same plane both directions. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brown Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 You're right about the Flightaware Pricing Steve. I'm one of the guys who feeds them data and they want a huge amount, even from me! Cheeky lo. Good luck. Rick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted September 20, 2017 Author Share Posted September 20, 2017 (edited) Sorry I didn't see this before Rick, I've emailed Cathay Pacific, the acknowledgement said I should receive a reply with in a fortnight. Hoping. Steve. Edited September 20, 2017 by stevehnz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve. Hi Steve, Apologies, I don’t lurk here too often and have only just seen this. I have access to flight records for only Heathrow, but they go back a few more decades. ;-) Your inbound flight was on B-KQN, but you are correct, you returned on B-KQA.
