Lie flats on TK 717 (DEL-IST)? It says 777-300ER, so I should be safe, right? Do they swap out planes on the ex-India routes a lot?
Am connecting to TK 79 (IST-SFO), also listed as 777-300ER, which I assume is lie flat too and less likely to be swapped out for bad seat plane?
And seating advice welcomed (2 pax). Thanks!

I'm flying TK24 IST-TPE / TK25 TPE-IST in 777-300 and have a question about seats
I have reserved trought TK call center seat 42D on for IST-TPE and seat 23D on TPE-IST in 777-300 which I will fly next month. Since booth are bulkhead setas in exit proximity I'm just wondering if somobody can give me his opinion about them.I'm a bit confused because for Seatguru 23D is good seats remarked in "green color" aand 42D in "yellow", for Seatmaestro and Seatexpert need to be aware due to heavy traffic area, reduced storege space and not confirmed extra leg room
Does anybody have tried theses seats before ? Any kind of feedback ?
Thank you in advance

Depends what seats you like and what you don't like.
- I typically avoid row 1 as the window seats are narrower and the TV is placed higher than the other seats
- avoid row 4 and 5 as they are close to the galley and restroom.
- be aware TK has 7 seats in a row, which means there is a middle seat.
- I typically prefer rows 2,3 or 6.

TK seatmap shows that there is no seat behind 34G, which is the case on older aircraft. But when you board, you see that there is no seat behind 34D. This is the case on newer aircraft. They have only one seatmap for all A330. And even check-in staff have the same map in their system.

This isn't always quite the case. The Manchester route is very mixed with aircraft types. I'm booked later this month and it's a 330 as was the case earlier in the year. The best way to check if you're getting Euro Business Class (on a narrow body airbus at least) is the seat letters - if it's A-C it's Euro Business Class with the middle seat free; if it's A-B, it's going to be proper business class. This has always worked for me. However, TK do have a habit of switching aircraft types at the last minute unfortunately. It's a lottery.
I have been before when it was a A321, and remember that it was 2-2 config, and there was 2 seats on each side - not just a middle seat empty.
Do they still ever put A330 on this route?
EDIT: EF says A32M (?)
EDIT 2: Ive checked this whole coming week, and all A321, but on Saturday 26th March, A330. 2-2-2 in Business, and 2-4-2 in Economy. Is business on this aircraft lie flat?
