How can I make sure I never board an airplane made by a particular manufacturer?

On a ticket, the flight number can be searched in Google Search and some aviation sites like flightstats.com, give the aircraft equipment model which lets you know the vendor.

Apart from Eurowings, when it comes to short-haul routes (which Austra-Germany is), European airlines usually have either Boeing 737+Embraer or Airbus A320+Embraer or exclusively 737 or exclusively A320 fleets, but not 737+A320.
LH and Austrian have Airbus+Embraer. Ryanair is exclusively 737, Wizzair/Easyjet is exclusively A320 family.
For the "classic" airlines, code-sharing is possible only within an alliance: as LH and Austrian is within Star Alliance, the only other airlines which is using 737 is LOT. So one option is to fly with the LH group but avoid LOT flights (which can be either Embraer or 737), or fly Wizzair/Easyjet – the latter are exclusively A320.

How to make sure I never board an airplane made by a particular vendor?

There are only two options

  1. Stop flying all together
  2. Don’t board if the wrong aircraft shows up at the gate. This may include forfeiting your trip and/or having to buy a same-day ticket right then and there.

Almost all flights will disclose the planned aircraft at time of booking (code share or not), so you can minimize the risk. However, it’s never guaranteed, and there is always a risk of the airline swapping equipment last minute or rerouting due to flight cancellations or delays
