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

I had the same issue a while ago, I tried to reserve my seats via the mobile application and it worked perfectly and I was able to see my seats on the MMB section of the TK website.

I have the same issue once my reservation updated to 788. I cannot change seat selection (the old one from the 332 stuck) not in the app and not online.

Here another one:
On my reservation (in Business Oct 2019) Central Europe to IST to DPS and return
I can only edit the segment Central Europe to IST to Central Europe but not the long haul segment IST to DPS to IST
in the mobile App or the iPad App or the regular TK website. Is anyone seeing a similar behavior for their itinerary?
Thanks ;-)

The agent repeatedly told me that D&G on the 787 have an aisle in between (which is obviously wrong) but I just told him to forget about sitting together and book the seats anyway... I know they will be together

Thanks a lot for the insight @ISTFlyer!
Just updated my seats by calling the Turkish Elite Hotline with a good English speaking, competent and friendly agent.
The call took me 2 minutes with zero wait time. ^ thumbs up!

You can also reserve seats on the 787 via Twitter though they're kind of annoying telling you you can do it online. It happened twice I had to insist it's not possible to do it online for them to change my seat...

The call center is really helpful when reserving seats.

My daughter doesn’t have a seat allocated on our 787 flight to DPS. I called the miles and smiles elite line but they couldn’t help. They said check at airport.

Saying specific seat numbers to the agent could help so I would check Expertflyer first and ask for a specific seat.

Probably all the seats they can *see* are taken, but there are other seats for sure
I would suggest to call again in a few days/weeks, depending on when your flight is.
