Ac 856 YYz-LHR-Delhi is a 74E service (747-400 combi) that is the only certain day that a 400 flies!

Jeff- AC868  dp YYZ 0900 ar LHR 2110 B767-200 AC856  dp YYZ 1915 ar LHR 0650 B747-400 Combi are the flights on Dec 27.  Since you’re starting in Brandon I assume you’ll be on the later flight eastbound.  Westbound on Jan 03 there is only 1 flight: AC857  dp LHR 1300 ar YYZ 1545 B747-200 Hope this helps.

Most likely a 747-200 or even a 100. Whether the 747 is full or a combi model I do not know. (combi = cargo pallets instead of seats in the back 1/3 of aircraft). AC has both on the 200 model. AC has a few 747-400s but I beleive they are used on the Pacific routes. They are all combi (eg: low PAX capacity, high cargo capacity)

When the guide does not specify what 747 then the airline varies their service depending on aircraft availablity. I know that a few times a week they offer a 74E service (747-400 combi) service.
