LHR-IST J class
Hello All,
What seat configuration do they run on this flight?
These sorts of distance flights always seem to be tricky between standard European J or long haul J. it's also an overnight flight. What do Turkish use? Will my first time with them.

There are four flights a day, equipment ranges from A321, A330 to B777. Which one are you booked on? Currently none of them would have Euro business, it is either recliner or fully flat.

It shows an A330 all-right but with a rather odd seat configuration.

i noticed that as well. according to seat guru it's angled flat. but according to google flights is a lie flat.. and then i see this on the TK website, which further complicates things because that layout seems like a CRJ layout!

Etihad has a leased Jet A332 that flies back and forth between AUH and JNB, so I'm well familiar with this configuration. I do not like it.
The seat is just fine for sleeping, but that's all it has going for it. There is no in-seat storage whatsoever; you feel cramped and boxed in; with the tray table stowed, glasses etc. can only be placed on a narrow ledge, and are constantly at risk of being knocked over; with the tray table extended, you are more or less imprisoned; looking out the window is a pain in the neck, literally; on this particular aircraft at least, all the seats I've tried have an annoying tendency to jiggle as soon as you shift your weight; and the cabin is dark and uninviting.
Not my favorite aircraft.
