A321's & B738's/9's Business Class Seats Conundrum:
4x Rows - Seating AB EF = New Business Class (Cradle Seats)
3x or 5x Rows - Seating AC DF = Old Business Class (Economy Seats w/ middle seat blocked)

I'm seeing various A321 seatmaps on ExpertFlyer that seem to blend the options above, ie they have five rows of J but use the AB EF seat naming convention. Looking on planespotters.net list of TK's A321 configs it seems that there are both 16 seat and 20 seat dedicated J cabins, so is it fair to assume that the 'AB EF' naming convention is the best way to figure out whether it's Eurobusiness or 2+2?

I'm deciding whether to redeem miles on LIS-IST or OPO-IST in J. I'm fairly flexible about which location we fly out of so for a 4.5hr flight, getting a better shot at 2+2 seating would make all the difference. It's at least nice to see that according to planespotters.net only 12 of TK's 68 A321s still have the old Eurobusiness...
