TK webpage with details on seat reservation.
Seats on Turkish Airlines can be reserved in the following ways:
1. For long-haul international flights, seat selection is available starting 100 days before departure for economy and 355 days for business class. Seats can be selected through the call center, the "Manage Booking" section on the website or the “My Flights” section on the mobile app.
2. Extra legroom seats in economy are charged for and can be reserved 355 days in advance.
3. If you have booked your flight within the 100 days window (355 for business class) you can select seats online during the booking process.
4. If you have not pre-booked seats you can do so during the online check in process.
5. For domestic economy flights that are not part of a longhaul itinerary, TK flights are open for seat reservations 24 hours before departure.

my Aeroplan-booked TK flights opened up
I entered Name + TK PNR
Took me to another page to enter Last Name + Ticket #
After that I can choose the seats (still not too smooth, can't just hit Next and Next to choose 2 segments in 1 step)
Did it twice for 1 PNR + 3-pax PNR

Seat selection not working
In the last month the seat selection function when purchasing the ticket (at the stage where you enter your personal data) is not working for me. On the bottom of the screen where the flights are listed there used to be buttons to select seats, but now this space is empty. Does it work for anyone?

So what is the trick to selecting seats on this "new" website? I have J class tickets booked, inside of 100 days, and can get through to a supposed seat selection screen, but then at worst it times out and hang, and at best it displays a mis-rendered image only showing window rows. Have tried multiple browsers. Is this really the extent of this "new" website's functionality?

I called the 1-800 number. We had our seats within a couple of minutes
Safe travels

Yeah, I did end up calling and supposedly getting seat assignments, though I trust TK's system about as far as I can throw it. Will believe it when I am on board. Really amazing that in 2017 they roll out a "new" website and can't even get basic functionality.

This is what the seatmap shows:
Honestly I haven't even flown TK yet, but I'm already ready to not fly then again just based on the pain of booking and managing my reservation.

It's been completely broken for weeks now. Most of it time it doesn't even load, and when it does load, the map/config is completely wrong. Screenshot of me trying to do seat selection on TK 80 which is operated by a 77W which should be 2-3-2.

no it has to be within 100 days. When I asked for seats for my return flights (which were day 107) they only reserved the outgoing leg and said to tweet a week later for the return. I usually just set a reminder on my iPhone to do it.
