When they announced the route i saw somewhere that they will be using the A330-300 with the new business cabins, but checking my flight for June it shows a A340 now, so does it mean this route is also going to be a toss-up at the gate with the A333, 332 and 343?
I'm flying YYZ-BOS-IST, would it be worth it to switch to YYZ-MUC-IST? YYZ-MUC on LH is guaranteed flat bed right?

I faced this decision and will go with the AC suite. Longer flight = better sleep. Odd how this thread is turning into how to avoid taking the BarcaLounger but there it is....YYZ to IST direct.

Just a reminder that flight 82 has been chronically delayed since launch, this week alone twice more than 3 hours otherwise delayed by 45 min - 1 hr on average (last night Thur and Mon).
What's going on at BOS? The incoming flight 81 all seemed to arrive on time.

I know! I've been watching, too, because I have a flight this summer. I mean is it really that hard to turn a plane around in 6+ hours between the landing of the incoming and the departure of the outgoing?!

I probably would advise against taking 82 with same day connection at IST within 4 hours (BOS-IST-XXX) if this persists.

Correction, Thur (19th) delay was 4 hours (both departure and arrival). I dread the magnitude and frequency of delays going into winter/holiday periods when you'll have to factor in incoming/connecting B6 flights and weather. Ironically, out of JFK, 2/12 are usually delayed by no more than 1 hour with much shorter turnaround and ground times.

I was looking to book a few BOS-IST award tickets in J in January, 2015 and noticed that they are using the A340-300 on this route which I believe is the OLD business class seats. Has any one recently traveled this route in J?

Meal service
Hi all,
We'll be flying BOS-IST in a few days in business. Obviously, the first meal service is a late night dinner. Anyone know what the 2nd one is? Breakfast? Lunch? Just curious.
Thanks.

Type of Seat?
Does anyone know if the BOS flights now have the angled or bed seat? Is there a way to tell looking at the aircraft type or seat map?
Also the TK counters open at or just after 20:00 hours. We were there last night, a family member booked & bought tickets because they had trouble understanding and working with the TK phone reps. But tickets booked in person at BOS.
