Very likely, standard seats with middle seat blocked. If the seat numbers are ACDF, this is it. ABEF are "proper" european business seats.

Not sure if this is the correct thread, but I'm going to give it a shot. THis is my first time flying Turkish.

I am flying TK 34, route IAH-IST. I am booked in 12C. On the TK seat map for the 777, economy starts in row 11 and shows nine seats across. On Seatguru, row 11 is listed as Economy Comfort (rows 11-20) with a 2-3-2 configuration. I'm confused.

Any idea what's going on? I did a few searches but wasn't able to find anything. Thank you in advance for any help.

Seat Guru is not reliale, there are several versions of the TK 77W and I believe CC is no longer served on that route, as such you are in a regular economy seat with no more comfort class product on board but a bigger J cabin.

Which A320 regs have a 2-2 regional business class product?
Just trying to figure out my odds on my next IST-CDG flight.

Awesome thanks, looks like none of the newer ones are deployed to CDG :/

Question re: TK equipment
​I have a question re: TK36 from Montreal to Istanbul: does the flight use an Airbus A330-300 aircraft, or does it use an A330-200 aircraft? The website simply says "Airbus Industrie A330" and I understand the better business class is in the former (330-300).

Thanks.

Montreal is definately served by A330-300. The better variant in TK's configuration!

I know you never know with TK,

But can anyone confirm the hardware used for a couple TK flights on Sunday.

Flying CPH-IST (TK1784) departing (12:30 local time) Scheduled at first as the 333, but have a feeling it is the 332 now.

Flying IST-BKK (TK0064) departing (19:50 local time) Scheduled as a 333, just want confirmation

Flying J, hence my wanting to know.

Regards

Daniel

Looks like the A332 for TK1784, still better than SAS "biz" I guess
No change for TK64

Turkish 737
Flying biz from Istanbul - Almaty tomorrow on a 737 (it doesn't say which version) but does anyone know if they're doing lie flats or not? It's a 6 hour flight so it's not that long but would be nice since it's over night

It's definitely not lie flat, you only get that on long haul aircraft but this flight shows the B737-800 with 4 rows of business. So chances are you will get the proper biz seat (similar what you might get in the US in first)
