Can't book Comfort Class
Hi Guys,
My first post on TK section. I tried to search it but couldn't find recent discussions. Please take my apology if there indeed are and just help me transfer my content over.
I am trying to book JFK-IST-TPE, hoping to get the JFK-IST leg on Comfort Class. But when I try to price it on TK website, it just shows Business fare.
Tried it with JFK-IST-ICN, where both legs are claimed to be Comfort Class available routes on TK website, and with JFK-IST alone, both showed Business Class fare.
Just wondering how do I book Comfort Class? Do they stop selling it? I know they plan to remove the product but aren't those destinations still served by Comfort-equipped metal?
Just curious. Thanks!!

If you really want to try Comfort Class before it's completely gone, book YYZ-ICN/PEK/CAN for around $1700 USD, the old US-Asia fares on Comfort Class were around $2200 so you're still saving money traveling this way.
You can even book IST stopover and/or open jaw, a sample booking on orbitz.com (multi flights and narrow down to Premium Economy and Turkish Airlines) returns this:
YYZ - IST Nov 12th
IST - ICN Nov 16th
PEK - YYZ Nov 28th
All Comfort Class for $1713, I recommend flying into ICN outbound to avoid any visa complications and hassles before boarding flights at IST (many check-in agents are still not familiar with the 72 hour visa free policy at many Chinese airports). You can get around those cities within Asia with LCC pretty easily.
Please enjoy Comfort Class while you still can, I became TK E+ because of it.
Feel free to PM me if you have more questions since this has been asked before, don't want to repeat what has been discussed.
