We classify all conjugacy classes of 3-braids that are related by flypes on representatives. Among them we determine which classes have representatives that admit both (+) and (-) flypes as an effort to search for a potential example of a pair of transversal knots that are topologically isotopic and have the same Bennequin number but are not transversally isotopic.
