Should I swap back to TK?
I made a US Airways award booking in first from BKK to IAD.
It was TK in F BKK-IST and then LH from IST to IAD in F via MUC.
They switched me to LH all the way through. I like LH but the seating on the 747-400 is not my favorite when I fly alone.
TK now shows the 77W on 5OCT BKK-IST and 6OCT IST-JFK.
Do I risk releasing the LH F and go back to TK in F (supposedly) BKK-IST-JFK?

BKK-IST SUN 11 Oct is still A340 so probably TK will keep using a mix of A340/77W to/from BKK
TK is still adjusting the 77W flights. Today TK 61 BKK-IST SAT 17 OCT was changed back to A340 (from 77W)...

AFAIK IST-SIN-CGK will be op by the A330/340 and not the 77W through to end of schedule.

I have business award reservations on hold for JFK-IST on 12/25 and returning on 1/4. Any way for me to tell if this will be on a 777?

Both flights are supposed to be operated by 77W's, but I wouldn't count on it.

Today I recheck my reservations for october on TK's IST-SIN sector and recognized that they changed from 9W 777er aircraft to their own A340
Even on the LHR-IST used to be a 9W 777er aircraft but they changed for an A321

By what date?
When is it realistic to expect TK to know for sure if the 77W will operate 5OCT BKK-IST and 6 OCT IST-JFK?
How far in advance will they know for sure?
One day?
One week?
One month?

Does it seem safe to assume that as of today, the schedule for Oct 5 BKK-IST and Oct 6 IST-JFK will be the 77W with the F suites?

JFK-IST shows as operating on the 77w in Dec. on ANA (with availability in F). I thought TK was getting rid of the 777-300ers? Is the route likely to still be operating with F then?

No, as has been stated AD NAUSEUM on many threads, they have the 9W birds for another 18 months or so, and then are getting their own which will not have 1st.

Confirm 777 IST-JFK - Flight TK1 on Tues Nov 10
Hi all THANK YOU to the Flyer Talk experts- so helpful!!
I am flying Nov 10 IST to ORD in Business- looks like that airplane is the A330 but if I fly on TK Flight #1 IST to JFK it is the 777 from Jet Airways. I assume the 777 is nicer than the A330 for business class but does TK swap planes a lot? Is there a high chance it wont be the 777? If not what would the fall back plane be? I think some past posts said it could be the A340? would that be as nice as the 777?
As always thank you FT'ers!!!
