Looking at a random date (January 11), the seat letters are AB/EF, which means true, North American style domestic business seats. The service and food on TK are always going to be good.

I have flown this route last week on an ancient A330-200 (which appears to be the standard on the NBO-IST route http://flightaware.com/live/flight/THY608) with godawful recliner seats. These were very different from what I have seen on a TK A330-200 before.
The service is a hot breakfast (given the rather early departure of 5am) and an optional snack shortly before arrival.
On the plus side the crew was excellent, a very pleasant change.

I am traveling this route in about a month and just got an email about an equipment change to the 737-800 from the a330-200.
Do all the TK 737-800s have the new TK narrowbody business seats?
For anyone has flown them on 5 hour flight on the 737-800... experiences?
Do the seats have a foot rest? Sleeping experiences compared to the old a330-200?
Any better routings Nairobi on an SA carrier with lie flat seats?
Thank you for any information in advance.

2. Perfectly serviceable, done 6h+ on a 737
3. Yes they do (some A321s don't have foot rests), neither are ideal for sleeping
4. LH plies the route with an A340
