Thanks, all. Now, so long as no riots, delays, etc ... we will be fine. I just booked the trip based on your feedback.

Yes, you’ll have a comfortable lie-flat seat. Watch some TK business class 777 trip reports on YouTube to get a clear picture on what to expect.

I have looked around before posting. It seems some recent videos show older, somewhat worn grey seats. And then there are two videos, also recent, that show a more-modern design to the C seats.

BHX-IST routes with 737-800
According to my booking for March/April the seat layout is showing a 73H and the seats in J are only showing 2-2 with numbers A-B and E-F.
Does this mean that it is the new 2-2 cabin?
Can't find out how to find what the actual cabin layout was even by finding the a/c registrations from https://www.flightradar24.com/data/flights/tk1968
Anyone have any experience of the BHX route?

I've recently flown on TK609/608 IST-NBO-IST on an old (and I mean old) A330-200. The seats were more midhaul recliner seat and not even the angled lie flat you get on other A330-200 flying some longhaul destinations. Judging by the safety card there are only two of these birds in the fleet: TC-JNG and TC-JNF (both are ex-Qatar and Volare before that)

I think TK is currently operating IST-NBO with a B738, at least as per flightaware.com. I believe they will resume the A332 on the route from April 1st although I am not entirely sure. Would also be interested in finding out whether TK will be using any of the retrofitted fully-flat 332's on this route.

Hi all,
I'm booked on ATL-IST-TXL in J for late May. The long haul legs to and from ATL are showing on A330-203 aircraft. I *thought* I read somewhere in these threads that ATL was going to the all-flat bed configured 332s, with 18 seats in the J cabin (2-2-2 config).
The Turkish website seatmap shows me in 04A (window) so there are apparently 4 rows on the airplane in J, 4AB on the left side and 4E (or maybe 4K? the seatmap is all janky) on the right side. Seat guru says this bird is angle-flat.
2 questions for those in the know:
A: is this really still an angle-flat configuration. and...
B: The flight is now showing J0 for that date. In the event TK equipment-subs to the lie-flat config with only -3- rows ... should I be concerned that I'm in row 4? What's their pecking order for downgrades? I have no *A status, but it is a paid J ticket (not award). I'd be flexible with a reroute but the ATL-IST flight leaves after 10pm, so there really aren't many options out of ATL by then, unless TK proactively contacts people about the downgrades (I'm doubting this).
thanks for listening!

Since it went 332 in January it has been run every day with the lie-flat A332, except for one day it equipment swapped with an A333 which is lie-flat. Are you using expert flyer seat map or TKs. It was showing the 4 row config on my April trip as well but now shows as the 18J version.
