Flying TK 80 (SFO-IST) in J in April. It's a 77B showing the 49J cabin. Can't find much in terms of seating charts or photos of this config, but it looks like there's 4 rows of business, then a galley, then a 3 row minicabin.

Was probably just going to select 3J/3K, but perhaps the minicabin is in some way preferable? Seems possible it's not well separated from economy and has noise issues, etc. Any one with experience on one of these 49J aircraft want to share their opinion?

777 Seat Config

Seat guru shows two versions. One with 2-3-2 in J and one with 1-2-1. Which routes do they use the 1-2-1? GRU-IST uses the 2-3-2, right?

The 1-2-1 was just a lease operated by Jet Airways. Now they only have their own planes which feature 2-3-2 seats.

Hello...one easy question I hope. Turkish removed the Comfort in the 777er to Shanghai. Does anyone have the new 3-3-3 layout of the Economy starting at row 11 in the Turkish 777ER?

Just do a dummy booking for IST-PVG and then check the seat map on the last site before you make the payment.

Y starts at row 11 and ends at row 53 I think

Do they still have the A333 from 9W with 1-2-1 config in J, and F blocked? I was wondering what A333 (A333/Q as listed in flightaware) is operated between IAD-IST? Also, does anyone know if it is a 332 or a 333 that operates IST-DEL? Thanks!!

They never had 333 from Jet Airways, but they have 3 A332s which are labelled as 33J.

The 333s are all turkish airlines own birds and the business looks like this here:

IAD always is operated by 333s. DEL to 99% by 333s and might be very rarely swapped to 332 if there is a weak load on that particular date.

Best economy seats on A333?

route is IST-JFK and vice versa
seatguru lists the two bulkheads obviously but wanted to know if anyone had experience with either or other seats?

Flying ASM-(TIF)-IST on a 319 in a few weeks in business. (That's Asmara, Eritrea and Taif, Saudi Arabia)

It's listed as a "316" with three rows of business. Is this likely to be the old school middle seat blocked type?

Good luck trying to make sense of TK's shorthaul J class configurations, I certainly haven't figured it out. I'm pretty sure though that all A319s are configured 3+3 throughout, with the middle seat kept free in J, of course.

For my flight from IST to CDG in March, TK shows aircraft type 33A.

7 rows of business. Row 1 and 5 & 10 (2-2-2 config)

I once had the Meridiana A330-200. IIRC that only had four rows of business.

Which configuration is the 33A?

777-300 - Flat Bed or Not?

Searched the internet high and low, called TK customer service and still cannot get a straight answer...

Do the Turkish 777-300's have 180 degree flat bed seats or not?

Specifically flying either from HKG or CAN to IST on 2 FEB.

THANKS!!
