Turkish says you have to call United to do it. United says you have to call Turkish. HUCA over and over with Turkish but no luck.
We are 4 people on 3 different reservations, so we won't automatically be seated together on check in day.
I have had this problem on Star Alliance carriers forever, completely futile on getting seats when booked via United. Being *G doesn't help at all. Since I often book the kids on miles tix and pay for my own, it's hard to get us sitting together... Any tips?
Your UA reservation should reference a TK PNR. Using that, you should be able to pull up your reservation on TK's
website app and assign yourself seats. For the reservation that has more than one person, you'll need the UA ticket number for each passenger as well (might also need it for the single passenger PNRs... not sure). It's worked for me but can be frustrating as it might not work the first time you try. In fact, I'm holding a TK flight next year where I was able to grab seats for my wife and I in J via their
website app.

Reason: It's the TK app, not webiste, I've had good success with.
