Three questions regarding MIA-IST-BKK Business Class
I recently booked award tickets with United miles for three passengers from MIA-IST-BKK for June 2017 in Business Class.
1) When will be able to reserve seats & How?
2) Which lounge does Turkish use in MIA?
3) We have a four hour connection in IST before our flight to BKK. I've heard amazing things about the IST Business Class lounge. About how much time will we be able to spend in the lounge?
Thank you in advance for your help.

1) Available 100 days in advance, I do it by messaging TK on Facebook or Twitter. You can also call but their social media team is pretty pro active, I usually get an answer in less than an hour.
2) No idea
3) At least 3 hours, you don't need to go through security or anything arriving from the US, you will deplane directly in the international departure hall and can head straight to the lounge and then go from the lounge to your BKK flight directly. No security checks.

The new website allows you to reserve seats or change seat reservations online.

Should be Avianca Lounge (Global Lounge) in Terminal J. Last December I was sent there.

I have a flight that is more than 100 days out. And while I can "see" the option on the new website I still cannot actually click it. Probably will be able to when the 100 days will come.

Ok. Well, I'm still seeing the old website. And my flight is about 104 days out. I'll probably give them a call at the 100-day mark unless there's a way to forcibly switch over the website.

Anyway, I doubt it would work anyway since my flight is an award booking through Aeroplan. I'll just phone in. No big deal.
Thanks though!

Thanks but that didn't work for me. Just forwarded me to the old website http://www.turkishairlines.com/en-ca.

Try accessing it with firefox or chrome. IE won't work and redirect.

No luck on either Firefox or Chrome. (I never use IE. Who uses IE? It's 2016!)
What country are you selecting? Maybe the international / Canadian version isn't up yet?
Or maybe you've just been cookied to the beta?

i was also redirected to the old site - however when I type the new URL it seems to stick...
in any case if you call them directly they will be able to make seat assignments - i would recommend before calling to check expertflyer to get an idea what is open
