Just to confirm - I am on TK018 YYZ-IST tomorrow on a 77W, if I have a north american 2 prong AC plug, I dont need an adapter right? I have been trying to find a photo of the 77W power point but have had no luck.
Thank you,
Mark

However, note that THY also operates some 777s in a different configuration with some seats in J being entirely different than the rest (these being the former First Class cabin), leased from Jet Airways:

I'm on the 22:30 every two weeks and it really is a little frustrating - meanwhile they usually have a 777 or 330 leaving at 16:30 which for most working businessmen isn't really an option.

Thats a shame - they wanted 300 more (return) to fly on the 777 or 330. Given TK's history of plane switches and the fact that its a relatively short flight I opted to take my chances on the 321. Plus, as you said, the 321 flight times are a bit better.

Seatguru says:
TK82 is an Airbus 330 with flat-bed business class seats with 159 degrees of recline so not a true lie-flat seat.
TK708 is a Boeing 737-800 with recliner seats with 5-6-inch recline so definitely not flat-bed seats.

TK82 varies equipment, it could be an A330-300 or A340-300. The A330 does offer flat beds while the A340 has angled seats.

TK82 is officially planned as a 340, but they throw a 330 at it once every four or five days (per flightaware) according to no truly discernible pattern. I'd count on having a 340 and then perhaps be pleasantly surprised if it turns out otherwise.

THY's A330-200s don't have flat beds, but the A330-300s do.

There's some strangeness from the seating charts on the BKK-IST TK 69 route. I've had our seats booked for months and finally came into range where we could get seat assignments. The website and our tickets (from US Airways) has always shown:
However when I called to book the seats the agent seems to think it's an A340. I made a dummy booking on TK's website and it shows the aircraft as above in the display. However when I click on the flight on the next page it shows the seat chart as Plane Model AIRBUS A340-313.
According to airlineroute.net, the change should not be happening until Oct 20.

Is this a known glitch and are we actually getting the Boeing 777-300ER which has lie flat seats in J?
