TK flights not available despite showing on ANA, AC and UA?
Tried to book a Turkish Airlines flight that is showing available on ANA's, Air Canada's and United's websites, ICC says it isn't. Checked various dates & spoke to 2 agents. Is this something new, a glitch or an old hat I didn't know anything about?

I had this the other day: ANA showed TK avaialble LHR-IST-BKK 2px in C; The agent saw them too ; reserved them but then said they had dissapeared; They then dissapeared off ANA and I thought some one else had nabbed them. However they reappeared 1 day later and the same thing happened all over again. Third time lucky and I managed to get them.

Similar, booked a GRU-IST-LGW about the same time period so if the problem is occuring it's a recent development (Note at my time period, over Christmas, only the LGW flights had seats and not the LHR but two agents got confused and must have been searching for LHR as couldn't find seats)

I've just been checking LON IST CPT which is available in I class and shown on UA AC and ANA award availability but ICC can't see it so I asked them to check the whole month of June and July just LON IST in any class and they can't see anything so seems that TK has switched them off!!
Seems like 31May will come early!

Hi, just called the ICC to get a flight from IST to KIX in October. The flight according to kvstool is available for award ticket but the guy in ICC says he can only see LH flights. Thats really strange. I thought we anyways cant book LH flights since end of April anymore ?! Will try again tomorrow ...
