Flew KUN-IST yesterday (route is VNO-IST but VNO airport is closed for a month). 737-800 with proper business.
Most pax seemed to be O&D in the C cabin.

Looking to book TK 608 from NBO-IST in business class, A330-200. Seat guru says there are four versions, one with full lie flat seats, others with angle flat seats. Has anyone flew this segment, any input RE: business class seats.

Hi all
Is this rule (from wiki) still valid?

TK82 BOS-IST Premium Economy?
Flying this route next month (9/17), and back in October +/- 23rd. Would like to upgrade to premium economy for cash, or Business/First for Aeroplan or Aegean points. Don't see premium economy on the seat maps, and wonder if an upgrade to flat bed could be done with points, travel booked by employer's travel agent.
Anyone know if/how this could be done?

I´ m flying TK1636 MUC-IST on Oct 22nd. Airplane shown on the Seatmap is a 33T with 18 J-Seats. I couldn´t find a proper version of this on seatguru or google. Should I stay away from Row 1 because of the bulkhead or does it offer more space?
Cheers

I'm flying TK60 IST-KUL on May 21. I looked up seat maps on seat guru and obviously it doesn't match what TK seat map shows. I am able to pull up the TK seat map >100 days since my reservation is in J. I was thinking of grabbing an aisle seat in the center, so 3D or 3E. Then, this map shows ups on the TK map: 
Umm, are the JK seats really in the middle? Are DE really on the side? I want to grab a center aisle seat: would that be 3JK as in the picture below (or 3DE as I would normally see it?)
Also, does anyone know if on the new website you are able to change a seat after selection?

2. Yes, you can re-select seats later. I do this regularly if a seat next to me becomes occupied.

I can't seem to figure it out... The websites just keeps telling me there are no passengers left to assign seats to.
P.S. my flight also shows AB, JK, DE. Go figure.

Under "manage my booking/check in", fill in your details, then above the passenger name you will see a tab with "Seats". Works for me.
