Just noticed the TK EcoFly myself on the BEG-IST route, if I understood it correctly I still get a check in bag as an Elite/Elite+.
But what are these bonus miles they mention. In my situation all 3 economy options are offered as P-class, however the up-saled ones offer 25% and 50% extra miles. Does the normal one still offer the default P booking class 25% status miles?

United airlines plus points upgrade
Am a new member of Turkish Airlines miles and smiles program.
Planning to fly Tokyo to San Francisco on ANA and use United Airlines plus points to upgrade from Premium Economy to Business. Assuming the upgrade goes through how easy Is it to have the miles credited to my Turkish Miles and Smiles account.
Further if the mileage is not credited automatically how efficient is Turkish if I were to submit the paid ticket and boarding passes.
Also what are the chances for the upgrade to go through. I have used these plus points for upgrades on Lufthansa and till today all upgrades have been confirmed and mileage automatically credited to my United Mileage Plus account.

Must infants always be assigned to the window seat?
Spouse and I would like to be seated in the center seats of the 1-2-1 config on 789. The website doesnt allow us to pick seats at all. The mobile all does, but is quite buggy and doesnt show rows 1/3/5/7 as available.
Would like to know if infant are allowed before attempting to call the hotline.

11 hour flight on TK (first time) - tips and advice welcome
Hello. I'll be flying TK for the first time in my life. Both transatlantic flights in economy. One in b777, another in b787.
Any tips and recommendations how to survive a 10 hour flight on the outbound, and 11 hour flight on the inbound?

If so, will you recommend row 51 or 52? And window seat or an aisle seat?
