Interestingly, the seat maps for the HKG-IST legs in early June come up as the 1-2-1 old business class configuration with some wording about seat assignments may change due to technical reasons. IST-LAX shows the comfort class 2-3-2 configuration.
"Seat number 09K
have been reserved.
Due to the technical reasons , your seats selected on this screen may change. We apologize."

I booked one for next year one way HKG-LAX! Thanks OP! Saturday night departure gets in to LA on Sunday afternoon.
One Concern: I booked on TK's website, but one thing that worries me is it says, after purchase, Cabin/Class "Economy / A". E-ticket shows A class all the way (Class: A; Cabin: U). Should I be worried? Do others who booked say perhaps "Comfort Class / A"? Or is this normal?

I can not retrieve my booking...
For those you you who booked this ticket NOT from TK.com directly, were you able to look at your e-ticket here -> http://www4.thy.com/mybookings/etinput.tk
Also not much experience w/ TK, what is the earliest for OLCI? 24 hrs?

Does anyone know what the problem is?
Thanks.

Booked a RT for next year. I wanted to have a stop over in IST, but when I put in a multi-stop itenerary, I can't price it out @ the $402/1 way fare. So I ended up just booking a round trip and will try to add a stop over when all of this is finished.
Thank you much OP!

If you want to be a bit creative, more RDM and EQM can be had (with an assumption that ticketed booked in 'A' class earns 150% EQM with CO). CO has nice one-way fare to HKG from LAX at around 680 USD and can be routed via HNL and GUM. I think this way, using this TK one-way fare, it earns more EQM as well as RDM with Onepass.

Me too
I booked through Expedia.US and used my ticket number to retrieve my booking from http://www4.thy.com/mybookings/etinput.tk but failed.
Does anyone know what the problem is?
Thanks.

Thanks.
Also, Expedia has now put a duplicate itinerary (different Expedia itinerary#, but same days/flights) in my account and that one says it's not booked.
Hmmm.

ok before anyone starts calling TK
*you cannot assign seats until 100 days before departure - and then only by phone
*you cannot view your itinerary online on their website if it wasnt booked there
Those are them rules. Live with it

Well...
Regardless, I can wait to call until after the deal is done...
Edit: Here's the website language (under "view my ticket"):
For Turkish Airlines customers, View My E-Ticket is a self-service online initiative designed to assist you by giving you reassurance about your booking by being able to view itinerary details , providing booking reference , viewing payment and invoice details of your booking . To access View My Booking, you must provide your e-ticket number. Regardless of where you made your booking, your e-ticket number is in our systems. Eticket number is a series of 13 characters containing only numbers and beginning with 235. If you do not have your own e-ticket number on any of your documentation, please contact to THY sales office or agency where you purchased your ticket who will have a record of it.
Add my thanks to the OP (s)!
