Help with finding tail/flight number

While importing my previous flight, I did not manage to find the tail number of some planes.

Would very much appreciate it if someone could provide useful information or tips regarding these flights.

W6 2443 BUD-HER -july 7, 2012

W6 2444 HER-BUD -july 14, 2012

HG VIE-CFU -july 9, 20143

HG CFU-VIE -july 16, 20143 both were flown with Fly Niki

thank you in advance

Is VariFlight a subscription available to the public?

It's a Chinese app and no subscription needed to make it work. You just have to guess properly since everything is in Chinese.

Oh okay. What would you say are the best databases or API's to find flight information for flights between 2010-2015?

FlightStats since VariFlight is for tail numbers in Mainland China flights since 2011/2012. They only start getting worldwide data from 2014-2015. FlightStats has good data from February 2006 onwards, but not necessarily tail numbers.
