There's some strangeness from the seating charts on the BKK-IST TK 69 route. I've had our seats booked for months and finally came into range where we could get seat assignments. The website and our tickets (from US Airways) has always shown:

Flight TK69

Operated by 9W FOR TURKISH AIRLINES

Aircraft Type Boeing 777-300ER

Departure Bangkok , Suvarnabhumi International (BKK) Sunday xx September 2014 23:30

Arrival Istanbul , Ataturk (IST) - Terminal I Monday xx September 2014 05:35

However when I called to book the seats the agent seems to think it's an A340. I made a dummy booking on TK's website and it shows the aircraft as above in the display. However when I click on the flight on the next page it shows the seat chart as Plane Model AIRBUS A340-313.

According to airlineroute.net, the change should not be happening until Oct 20.

Is this a known glitch and are we actually getting the Boeing 777-300ER which has lie flat seats in J?
