The Complete Guide to the Turkish Airlines Fleet
Dear fellow TK flyers, I have lurked around in this forum quite a while, contributed to discussions here and there - but I have always missed an overview of the entire TK fleet where you can look up an aircraft or a registration and you know if your plane has wifi, lie-flat seats, etc...
I have probably also been a bit jealous of these overviews in the BA and QR forums :-)
Today, triggered by one of the many questions whether a certain plane has lie-flat seats, I have decided to start a wiki myself. I made good progress on the widebody fleet, but I am looking for help on the single-aisle aircrafts. It would be particularly great to understand which A320s/A321s have recliner seats vs. "European-style business class" with a blocked middle seat.
This is the first time I am creating a wiki. I hope this forum finds it useful and actively contributes, expands and keeps it updated. I am open to feedback and look forward to the discussions in this thread.
My credits go to the QR forum, which inspired me about this format :-)

On the day of your journey you can check the incoming aircraft on flightradar.
You can also check flightradar to see what type of aircraft a certain route usually gets.
ISTFlyer is right, BOS will be 99% A330-300 lie flat.
