Shame and deal-breaker that it is ex-ORD (SFO/LAX seems not to work) and flies dreadful A330 on second leg. I've done SFO-CPT on TK this year and the A330 sucks, actually two different version of suck depending if the plane is the old or the very old version A330. 787 on first leg makes TK bearable in spite of the always ice-cold and sometimes incompetent cabin crew. I fly QR 80% of my international flights so I'm jaded, however have done 20 TK legs in past two years.

Oh yeah you might need to do a charge-back to get your money back if things go pear shaped and they cancel a leg, or two. Ask me how I know. TK is the TAP of Asia (if you subscribe that Turkey is in Asia )
I personally prefer the QSuites product and the QR non-QSuites product to any of the TK hard products (I haven't personally flown either the TK 789 or 359). But the A330 seat map shown is the lie-flat A333. IMO it is much like the TK 77W (which is what you will get currently on TK6/TK5). Unfortunately for the time period where this fare is available, QR's fares are about double this specific TK fare if not higher.
