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

Can someone here confirm for me that TK166 from Istanbul to Hanoi on October 19, 2018 is full? Yesterday, I was not able to select any seats for that flight unless I paid for the two available seats, which are in the middle of the aircraft. So I called TK and the rep said the system won't let her assign a seat for me. She told me to just wait or go to the airport. I checked ExpertFlyer and apparently the flight is full for that day. A couple of hours later, I used my ticket number to check the flight again and now I can select the two seats in the middle of the aircraft for free. I would prefer a window seat. So is Expertflyer correct that the flight is full? What can I do now to get that window seat especially for a 9h30m flight.
Thanks!
Thanks!
Even if a flight is pretty full, many people don’t pick their seats in advance, so you should still get a choice.
Something else (IT related?) must be going on here.

Hi. I’ll be flying soon a 12h flight on TK A333. I picked up a seat in row 38 (last row) since I like to sit in last rows... I was wondering if there was a crew rest area on TK A333? If not, are last row seats assigned to crew, and in that case can I be « bumped » from my seat and assigned another seat at checkin ? Thx

What seats would you recommend for DEL-IST on the special 777? I am going with my uncle. I'm tempted to choose row 24 but I'm going to try to upgrade at the airport so maybe one of the rows in the back with just two seats is okay since TK doesn't refund seat fees?

That sounds like a good plan if you’re hoping for an upgrade at check in. FWIW, I much prefer the doubles in the back.

I've also booked IST-DPS (TK66) in August and have an allocated seat, forward window, as preferred. This was done automatically by UA when I booked the flight with MileagePlus miles.

I'm flying TK in a couple of weeks for the first time and am seated in 7K (window) on a 77W. Is it reasonably easy to exit if my seat mate is reclined ?

You may need to jump depending on the position that your seat mate would rest. In a full recline, it's definite that you would need to jump or wake up your mate.

I've booked AMS-IST-ALA in business and am able to select seats for AMS-IST , but not for IST-ALA. When I select the second flight I get a greyed out view of the economy seat map with "No suitable choice available for the flight."
Any ideas?
