As for the seat hold, I was under the impression that it was just that... holding your seat and not the actual fare. That said, it's been awhile since the old trick died... putting something on hold then calling TK to check upgrade space before completing the purchase.
Me neither, I am not flying TK long-haul on Y when I could easily get an exit-row seat for free at LH, LO, BA, etc... ( some because of status ) for free during OLCI.
Interestingly, some Turkish OTA’s still continue to hold bookings for free, however, purchasing a ticket from them could be slightly more expensive compared to booking direct with TK
