While daily service is retained, all other days continue to feature the 777. Sure enough this fact is confirmed on the Turkish website. Further sometime after the winter schedule it appears that even Thursdays revert back to the 777. Any further insights to confirm this? I just booked a flight to MIA (on a Friday) in early June of 2020 and would love to try to new aircraft if, in fact, it is flying that route. I would even consider shifting my travel schedule if I knew what days feature the 787 during summer 2020.
It's too early to predict the aircraft type for the S20 season at this moment. If you would like to try the 787-9, my suggestion would be to buy a flexible ticket at this point and change it depending on the aircraft type.
Turkish Airlines is popular with their last minute equipment changes.
