Flying 2nd August KTM-IST on TK727. ExpertFlyer shows this as an A330-200, so angled seats, right? The Turkish office in Kathmandu insists that the seats will be fully lie flat. Is this true? Also that there are only 3 rows? I am in seat 5J, which they say is the second row in business class. Please explain.
I am than flying BOS-IST on 16 August on a TK A340. What about those seats? Have the A340s been upgraded also? IFE? Lie flats?
Thanks for your replies

The 3 ex Jet Airways A332s have lie flat seats. What about the recent additions from TAM Airlines saved as 33A in their booking system, are they also recliners?

Hello all,
Sorry if this is in the wrong sub-forum, longtime passive member.Flying CPH-IST-BKK on Nov 30 in J with TK.
Just want to know if anyone knows what hardware they will be using on the flights? My Itiniary just says 330 on both legs.
I assume the CPH-IST is the 332, But I am really hoping the IST-BKK is the 333 with the lie flat seats, especially since it's an all nighter.
TK1784 CPH- IST Departs 2014-11-30 12:30 Arrives 2014-11-30 16:45
TK0064 IST-BKK Departs 2014-11-30 19:50 Arrives 2014-12-01 09:45
Many thanks in advance,
Daniel

If you booked online it should be what is planned. Probably try to check by doing a fake booking up to the point of when you can select seats and see if you can confirm via the seat map that will give you the best indication. It seems that IST-BKK vv is moving to the 343 from early September but that is planned to be phased out once they retire the aircraft.
have found out the 333 is scheduled on both legs.

LHR-IST-DLM
Have booked flights to DLM via IST from LHR for the annual family holiday - would appreciate any tips on the a/c or transfer - we are booked in J on the 2230 outbound and rtn on the 1430(ish) from IST.
Have read this thread and pick up that LHR gets the old 3x3 J class, except for the a330/777 flights. Any progression towards the newer A320s/A321 on the route - chances of a comfier seat for a sleep through the midnight hours?!?!
Should we stay in the arrivals lounge or head to the domestic terminal lounge at 4am on arrival??!?!
Return trip is through the day so should be more palatable, but any tips welcome.
Appreciate any advice. Thanks.

TK79/TK80 SFO-IST: what aircraft?
I'm looking at flying home from Europe on TK79, from IST to SFO, in June of 2015 (TK79 is the westbound flight, TK80 is the eastbound - surely it's the same aircraft...one with long legs).
According to seatguru (and multiple other sources), this route is (or will be) served by a 777-300ER. But it's not clear which version of the 773: there's a version with first, business, and economy, and another version with business, economy comfort, and economy.
Can anyone tell me which version of the plane is on this route? I'm looking for a good flat bed in business class on this 13+ hour flight...
Thank you!
