"Our new business class product will have 1-2-1 seating layout instead the existing and will be featured both in the new Boeing 787 and the new Airbus A350 jets," Turkish Airlines' Chief Marketing Officer Ahmet Olmuştur tells Australian Business Traveller.

Comments in the article are guessing from
the dropped hints that the new product could involve the Thompson Vantage XL+ seat.

The economy one yes but not the business class seats. See Future 737-800 MAX seating for example.

While Stelia seats officer good privacy, it’s a pain to to get out of the seat if you are in a window seat or honeymoon seat. I hope the arm rest can recess, like SQ regional seats or it’s really cramped just like Thai’s A350’s. Still we have to wait for the actually seat is in service before we can make judgements. Safe Travels!

Curious to see which seats would be best for couples. The honeymoon seats are obviously close to each other but seem to have a huge divider on head-level - maybe not even possible to see the other person then

True, I can see that in the pictures for the large divider between the seats. I was wondering about the divider/shield that seems to be on eye-level and part of the seat... not sure if that is moveable

I for one see this as a huge downgrade compared to the current seats. I hate the new sq regional seats (same as the new tk seats) since they’re super cramped. Worst seats ever. Too bad, TK is my preferred carrier and I love their current seats
