That's a tricky one - data Points:
Bought economy ticket with my profile (elite+, I am also the passenger). Reservation says "1 carry on"
Upgraded with e+ voucher, Reservation still says "1 carry on" although it's now in J
somewhere on their Website it also says "1 carry on for economy" and additional piece for elites that sounds like "+20 kg or +1 checked in piece". I searched this repeatedly during the last years and could never find their Website stating the 2 carry ons for elites
But:
Sign at checkin in CGN says: Y 1 carry on. elite, elite+ and Business Class: 2 carry on. I took a photo 4 weeks ago but can't post it right now. Official TK sign (not handwritten)
and: whenever I travel in any class with TK, I always take 2 carry ons.
I've been elite+ for several years now, but if my Memory is correct, it also worked when I was LH FTL travelling TK on cheap eco sale (long time ago).
IMHO it depends much more on how your carry on looks (my two pieces are the maximum dimensions, but look small next to me - different story if my wife would take the same two bags).
I rarely use the checkin counters any more because everything fits my two cary ons for almost every trip and TK offers mobile check in from most airports - but those signs should help if you ever have that "2 pieces for elite" discussion.
Have you seen those signs at others TK counters, too?
