Haha thanks to whomever shared this! I'm Shrey and I'm actually the guy who developed this site. I travel a ton (and run a travel company too!) and I kept having friends ask me how to avoid Boeing planes, so I figured i'd make this to help out. Hope y'all find it useful :)

Can this somehow be made a filter option when booking a flight? Like in a browser extension?

This seems pretty useful for me. Out of habit, I have always checked whether I am flying an A320 or a 737 MAX when purchasing plane tickets. The information is usually buried in details, in small text.

Pretty sure you're still way more likely to die in a car accident and several other ways than on a Boeing flight. The fear around this is silly.

Yea personally I do believe air travel remains remarkably safe, but for some people it does help with peace of mind. Travel is stressful enough I figure!

For people on this who are more knowledgeable about both recent incidents and perhaps any details about Boeing as an organization ... do the recent incidents make you skeptical of _all_ Boeing aircraft? Is it only later generations of the 737?

If there's enough interest in this I'm happy to oblige!

Heads up that tickets generally don't guarantee the plane you'll be on, they can change at any time for a bunch of different reasons.
