That's what comes up as $5000 on Kayak, and "No fare can be found" on the Turkish Airlines website.

Gotcha. I'm not so sure the seat is all that large, as SeatGuru gives the pitch as 32" (well, it's better than 31 or 30

) and width as 17.3". But at least the A330s and A340s have 2-4-2 configuration, so there's a good chance of having only one person next to you.
What I really want is a Z fare that will get me to Europe at a reasonable price in business class, but they are pricing out to ~$2500 for this summer on all carriers. That's $500 more than a couple of years ago. Blecch.
