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

Anyone experienced this?
I am trying to choose seats on the new website, but it only shows AB/EF seats on a 321. There is still a couple of weeks to go, so the problem might simply go away a week before departure, but still funny.

AB/EF seats on the 321 indicate that it is the business class style seats (2-2) rather than the Economy class set up (3-3) with the middle seat left free.

I am having issues with the website and selecting seats as well. I have two flights, first is an A330-300 in J and it shows 1A through 7A on the left side and then 1K through 6K on the right side. That's it. No B, D, E, or J seats. And the number of rows doesn't match up. My second flight is an A321 in J and it shows 1A through 5A on the left side and then 1F through 5F on the right side.
I've tried accessing in Chrome and IE.

Any workaround before being forced to go directly to the ticket & service desk at the airport?
Thanks

You can call TK Customer Service by phone and ask to assign you the seats you want. It worked for me.

Having a similar issue for my IST-AMS flight on an A321, only showing AB and EF seats all the way through economy. Odd, but was able to snag two seats together on both outbound and inbound.

I was just able to use the online interface to select seats on my RT J award tickets booked through Aeroplan- much nicer than needing to call!
I was wondering if any frequent TK 77W J cabin fliers had any suggestions about seat selection- last year I flew a segment in 2A/2B with my wife and it was great.
For this flight there are no window seats in rows 2 or 3, and I am debating whether to select A and B seats in rows 4, 6, or 7. How much galley noise/light touches row 4? And are there any downsides to sitting in the smaller J cabin (later service, through traffic)?

TK won't let me choose a Business class seat
I booked ATL-TXL during the recent Biz class "sale" for next summer. I used Priceline to book (for various reasons).
First, PL has never posted a ticket number. So I used online chat, and they finally provided that (but clueless as to why it does not show up on the booking). Using that number, I was able to log in to the Turkish website. The reservation seems fine, but they've assigned me to row 1 on every flight. When I try to change it, a message box pops up that says something about "No passenger found eligible for seat assignment." I tried the old site as well--I don't even get that far. It doesn't even have an option for seat selection.
No only that, I was adding my passport information, got it all entered, and when I tried to save it, it said I'd have to go through my travel agent. Of course, Priceline has no way to add that info at this point. Will I just have to provide that at the airport during checkin?
This is my first experience with TK--so far it hasn't been great. (Their website is really not good.)

I would say next summer is over 100 days until departure, so that's most likely the reason. Just wait a little longer and the website will enable it for you automatically.
