Just booked another 2 tickets for my relatives on xp and worked well.
Couple of things to keep in mind when booking this deal:
- DO NOT CALL the airline right now for seat assignments/change/verify itinerary etc.
- U/A is not available on all flights ex. HKG prior to 09-26. You have to find U/A available on the HKG-IST/HKG sector (I know for June/July, it's available on Tu/Th).
- 4/6 weekly IST-LAX/HKG flights
- If you want a copy of the fare rules, print it from thy or xp into pdf
- Don't worry if the e-tic/conf. number does not show on thy website (if purchased anywhere other than the airline's website), I read that only tickets purchased from the airline itself can be seen on its website

Now, my ticket is for end of July so it's with 3 month of the flight... which is when TK allows you to select seats.

Not as part of my ticket, but doing a dummy booking on TK site allows you to view and select seats prior to finalizing your booking. There it showed 1-2-1 seating for this U fare. So I just presumed that I would be able to select the same with the ticket purchased from Xp.com.

I wonder if by end of July there will still be those leased 77W flying, they were supposed to have been phased out by end of June.
If you guys indeed get those pod seats on this fare because of the old airplane - that will be the deal of the year

I decided to purchase another of these fares as a mileage-run but expedia keeps on giving me the same problem as another poster here (failing at payment stage and putting through multiple temp charges to my card). So I decided to go for Travelocity but travelocity states the fare is not-refundable in the general policies but the fare rules say the fare is refundable. I went ahead with Travelocity but should I be concerned? Thanks!

easier to cancel if you screw up or change your mind?

Conversely, my IST-LAX is clearly showing the new seatmap with Comfort Class
