Just a data point for selection of F seats. When I booked in mid Aug, I was not able to make seat selections online so I called them and selected roll 2 (even #) as we are traveling in a group of 3. I checked online on 8/29th or 30th and saw the seat maps online update but was not able to change seats online (I guess since I already have seats assigned?), so I called them and was able to changed seats to 3A, 3E & 3F. My flight is for July 2020 on IST to KUL.

My JFK-IST flight, TK012 at 00.05 had dine-on-demand as almost everyone on board directly went to sleep as soon as the plane departed. We could get the main course until 2 hours before landing, and then breakfast basically anytime before the landing safety requirements.

I also like to share my experiences as well. Here is my review and I also recorded a short video. Hope it gives idea about the flight with Turkish Airlines 787.

Anyone experienced the product (both hard and soft) in economy yet? My wife and I are doing ATL-IST and return in the 787 but not until the end of the month (outbound) and October (inbound). Had to select our seats through the call center as we booked our tickets at the sales office. Evidently that is keeping us from making any changes (to include accepting schedule changes and selecting seats) online.
With a 10pm departure (and often delayed past 11) I doubt my wife or I will partake in the first service on the outbound but coming back is daylight so we'll likely be awake for most of it!
Thanks!

On my return the cart was used.
I think the crew were still getting used to the new aircraft as service was a little disjointed and hesitant. They were all very charming and helpful that I certainly could not complain.

Would I rather sit in business? - Of course!
Is it a nightmare? - Not at all.

Seems the 78-9 has been filed to fly tomorrow to ATL. I'll be on the exATL-IST in C.
An on-time delivery by TK!
Really looking forward to it. I hope there is no last minute change but even if there is I would be happy to fly the 332. ^
If anyone has any questions, I'll try and answer them.
P.S. all the "missing" seats were visible and able to be selected with online check-in!

Well, you might havent but the vast majority of us have! The 787 was designed for 8 abreast but someone out there had a very smart idea to add 1 more seat....Its simply too tight.
