I'm on 069 from BKK to IST in the beginning of August on a *A award in J. Expert Flyer shows everything till row 9 as occupied. Does that really mean those seats are gone or is it possible that they will open up later?

How are the business seats on these planes compared to normal TK 777 business?

I believe they are a bit narrower, but full-flat, very good for a long-haul flight: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Ly3ikv5kqo

I'm considering to book IST-BKK. Will I get normal miles on United according to TK table or Jet Airways mileage accrual? It's a bid deal to me, elite miles vs non-elite miles.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Thanks! It's a little confusing when ITA says operated by 9W, but I see now that the flights are not sold by 9W (actually it seems 9W does not even fly to IST).

Just had a look at the IST-BKK flights - on no flights are rows 1-2 available - both blocked on every date I checked (presuming http://www.seatguru.com/airlines/Jet..._777-300ER.php)
No A class showing.

I have a confirmed booking between IST and BKK for 17 July (TK-68) and 12 August (TK-69) so i presume that will fly on the Jet 777-300ER.
But my seat reservation is for 2B on each flight ?
I think that my reservation is make before the 777 became active and i wonder how they honor my seat reservation as there is no B seat in row 2.
BTW i'm Elite Plus Member.

I was first booked in row 2 for my next 4 flights but i saw that I'm re-booked to row 9 and 10.
TK office informed me that row 1 and 2 are already gone for all my flight.
Looks like a lot of friends of TK which have those seats know :-(
