Turkish Airlines Short-Haul Business Class
Soon I will be flying with Turkish Airlines, on my first leg to Istanbul there is scheduled Airbus A321.
But most of times there is A320 servicing this route.
I would like to know if there is also on A320 the new Business Class (2+2) or is still old Business Class (3-3) with middle seats blocked.
Because as I read A321 is featured with new Business Class.
Thanks

I've got a few flights in Business class coming up with Turkish. I was hoping you guys can shed some light on the type of product we might experience.
The first flight is TK 1722 from Berlin-TXL to Istanbul-IST. Aircraft is Airbus A330-200.
SeatGuru shows the following layout:
TurkishAirlines.com lists the aircraft as 33A and shows the following seating chart:
SeatGuru shows rows as 1-4, but TK.com shows it as rows "-", 5 and 6?
The next flight is TK 1029 from Istanbul-IST to Sofia-SOF. Aircraft is Airbus A320.
SeatGuru shows the following layout:
TurkishAirlines.com lists the aircraft as AIRBUS A320-232 shows the following seating chart:
Any insight would be appreciated! Thanks!

Expert Flyer is showing a 321 labelled as 32N with economy starting at row 6 which is labelled an exit. The next exit is row 20.
Is this the proper biz confit 321? I seem to recall those that do not have the Euro seats go to around row 9 and exits at door 2 are very much in the business cabin. There are three 321 configs?
So what config is this plane?

I had the same question a while ago, see post #611 and the subsequent responses.
Edit: I checked the seat maps for my "32N" flight, and the config is 20 C seats, 158 Y seats. According to post #549 that I linked to, that is an ex-Kingfisher aircraft with "proper" business class seats.

According to an earlier post (post #549), "32N" aircraft are ex-Kingfisher configuration with proper business class, but there has been one post indicating that even though the aircraft type for his flight was shown as 32N, C class ended up being 3+3 seats with the middles blocked.

And this means the exit row is definitely at row 6 in Y.

What aircraft does TK refer to as a "32B" to & from ASH?
Sorry for the newbie question, but trying to book some travel to the "Stans" and see Ashkhadad Turkmenistan (ASH) shows as a "32B"?
I assume that is an airbus A320, but the flight from IST-Tashkent (TAS) shows as "Airbus 321" so curious they did not label ASH as "Airbus A320".
Is it really worth the extra for business class on these planes, for 4 or 5 hour flights?
I read that there are no fixed business lass seats, similar to many European carriers an the simply allocate a few rows of coach for any Biz tickets booked?
No idea what lounge would be used in TAS. They have an 8m and a 2.45am. If lounge is OK might look at the redeye.
Thanks for any help here.
