    Airline websites usually specify what aircraft are (typically) used on each route.

    Try the KLM site?

    Are you flying Paris Cape Town direct or via Amsterdam. If you are flying direct then I suspect you are on a code share and flying Air France?

    I actually messed up as i hadnt seen the itinerary in a while,

    Flying Amsterdam to Cape Town,

    And the return is Johannesberg to Paris,

    From what i've gathered it is the 777-200 i think,

    Have a closer look at your itinerary as KLM do not fly JNB to CDG. You will be either on Air France or Kenya Airways. Kenya Airways fly B777-200/300 but via NBO.
    Possible part of flight numbers 994, 997, 461, 112. The last two are KQ or Kenya Airways.

    All KLM aircraft carry the name and logo of Air France. Long haul and KLM have MD11's, 747-400, 777, A330. The A330 is used on the AMS LHR AMS route and sometimes replaced by the MD11 or 747-400.

    If you have booked it and have your reservation number you could check viewtrip.com which lists what plane will be used, nut this depends on whether the agency/site you booked with updates to this site.
    Usually the airline you booked with would list the plane type when you check the itinerary online

    Thanks,

    Just noticed the flight number is AF 0995

    So clearly an Air France flight from JNB to CDG just like you said.

    So it's most likely to be a 777-200/300 then?

    Thanks for all the help people, now to check some pictures out :)


    Hrm, scratch that, from the AF wiki it seems they use either the A330-200 or A340-300
