While I still enjoy flying TK overall, their website is awful and a scam.
Seat assignment selection and viewing is still not available for TA-issued or other *A website bookings. Lame.
The fares on THY.com are nearly always higher than everywhere else and as other have mentioned, I can not select a higher fare level to earn miles in my home FF program. Lame again. I want to pay more, why would TK not want that?
I have gotten around using THY.com for 2 years now by using orbitz.com, expedia.ca (to avoid FX fees on my card) and, wait for it, united.ca or united.com. While united.com has a terrible reputation, it does permit searches by specific fare category and recognizes most, but not all, airports that TK serves.
