They've completely dropped support for Turkish Airlines flights, which is really disappointing.

To make things worse, their current notice states:
'We are currently experiencing technical difficulties with AA, DL, NZ Seat Maps. Our team is actively working to resolve this issue and restore full functionality as soon as possible. Thank you for your understanding.'

It's frustrating to see how much they've declined. Does anyone have recommendations for alternative travel planning sites that are more reliable?

aerolopa or seats. Aero? Couldn’t figure out the latter.

This country is not permitted to use Seats.aero

Thanks you. I knew that. What I didn’t know is to which country the poster referred, and since I never cited this poster, the context.

I've tried searching for the visa requirements for a couple of nationalities and a couple of destination countries (Australian and Irish nationalities, and destinations of Vietman and Uganda)

And I'm always getting the same response - "There were no results for you search"

Hopefully this will be a transient problem...

Have you tried this website?

VPN to US works just fine. Kinda lame setup which usually comes from over-regulated EU which Latvia is part of.

The ONLY reason to get it is for AA C class (upgrade) availability. For any other feature I would honestly go elsewhere

This has been requested for them to add to Seats. They have PN, etc, availability for United already.

Anyone know why TK availability isn't showing?

See https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/turk...flights-2.html

TLDR: They stopped partnering with the GDS that EF uses.

The OP was asking about TIMATIC information. That is currently no charge for TIMATIC searches on the IATA website.

Except the link they provided was to a paid service (they gave the wrong link).

Here seems better for free TIMATIC through IATA:

Eek. Any suggestions for where one can see TK buckets, ideally free?

It's not free, but at the same price seats.aero displays seat maps and fare buckets for TK.
