I am flying TK BOM-IST-LON-IST-BOM (Y class) at the end of this month and so far I have been unable to get seat assignments of any kind. Not through the website and not through talking with agents.

I have been told to wait until a few days before I travel, but surely this is quite unacceptable (and it probably won't happen anyway). The TK website is quite woeful, too.

So, my first impressions of TK are quite bad, and I will probably not book with them again.

How can such an incompetent airline become a member of the Star Alliance? Standards are certainly falling. And Egyptair is next.
