That does not sound good. I am booked in business SFO-IST in June as a part of Aeroplan redemption. Sounds like TK may swap an aircraft from the current one with 7 rows in business, to the other one with just 4 rows in business + comfort class.
What happens if they involuntarily downgrade me from business to comfort or to economy because of aircraft swap, in terms of compensation?

SFO is operated with the newest version of 777-300, the one with just business and economy seats. In case they need to swap they will likely swap with one of the ex-Jet 777s with 42J seats and not with their own 777s with 28J seats.

Was looking at seat guru and it indicates that TK has a 332 and 333 models; 333 being lay flat seats 332 being terrible angle flat seats. Is this still true? Do we know what routes these birds fly on? Am looking at an IST-SIN as a possibility for an upcoming trip and the united websites just lists it as a 330.

IST DEL route in C
Is this always a 330-200? Any chance of a lie flat 777 which I see is sometimes used on this route?
How long before the flight is it finalized?
IST DEL on 2/June, DEL IST on 18/June
Or tell me where I can look it up please

Do a test booking within the next 100 days and when you do seat selection you will see the aircraft type displayed.
You can also look up the flight on flightradar: http://www.flightradar24.com/flight/tk54 or flightaware http://uk.flightaware.com/live/flight/THY54
