Tukish 787 Seat Map??
Hi all, so I redeemed 3 J's on TK for next July but unable to select seats online. Someone suggested I call, which I did last night but the agents (yes, I called 4x & spoke w/different ones) seem to be reading/looking at a wrong seat map as they all say, of the 8 rows in J, odd # rows are 2 seats only (one on each side as window seats) & even rows are 4 seats! I'm as confused as heck as I'm sure TK's 787 configuration is 1-2-1. Has anyone else faced same results when calling agents over the phone? Any remedy around this (or I just have to wait until TK updates it's ability to select/change seats online for the 787: IST to KUL route, btw). Thanks!

This is a known issue and the hotline looks at a wrong seat map.

Thanks again for your help, SFOTraveler1984! So after reading the threat, its seems both online and TK's global hotline's agents don't have the update seat map yet and I would have to wait for them to be updated before I can select the odd rows. Oh well, I still have some time (11 months out).
The hotline should be able to reserve A,K, D&G seats though...

Yeah, once you fly more often with TK, you get used to their fabulous IT :-)

Yes, this will be our first time flying TK and we very much look forward to their J products (both 777 and 787 on our route) and their lounge in IST!

I also redeemed for J seats next summer on the 787. When I called to select seats, they had the wrong seat map and gave me 2D&E. When I checked on-line today, the seat selection option is greyed out but my seats have been corrected to 2D&G. It appears that they are manually fixing the seats.

For example a last-minute switch from an A330-300 with Wi-Fi and lie-flat seats to an A319 on a European high demand route, which happened to me.

Can anyone confirm whether the crew on this aircraft have kept all the window shades completely dark even when it was daylight outside? this is my greatest fear of flying this aircraft... Not being able to see outside.
