My TK Flight Is Missing
I booked a TK flight (TK1776) from RIX to IST on Jun-30, months ago. Last week, when I tried to review my booking, I realized that TK took away my seat assignment and I can no longer make seat selection. I went to TK website and there is no longer flight from RIX to IST on Jun-30. It indicates "No flight found or flights are full". I don't believe a flight can be full one month out (Bus or Eco). So I call up TK twice on two different dates, both TK agents told me that my flight is still on. One of them is even able to make a seat selection for me. Since my schedule is tight, I can't afford to have last minute surprises. But, I can't take proactive action to change flight, without TK first cancelling this flight. Does anyone have kind of experience with TK? Should I be worried about my flight? Thank you for any help or guidance you can provide me, Henry

As long as your reservation on the TK website or app still shows the flight and otherwise looks normal (apart from the seat selection), you should be OK.
But it indeed looks like TK has zeroed out this flight for whichever reason - or the flight is indeed full.
I would suggest to watch your reservation closely over the coming days. I had a similar situation once and the flight was eventually cancelled - although this was during the time of the airport move, ie exceptional circumstances for TK...
Please keep us updated...

RIX was one of the 737-MAX-8 and 737-MAX-9 routes so your flight may be canceled as well.
However, according to my checks, only TK1775/TK1776 would operate on Jun 30.
If you share your e-tix number and your last name via private message, I could make the necessary checks for you.

Hi ISTFlyer, thank you for your hints. I went in and check, TK1776 is fortunately not 737-MAX, but the older generation 737-800.
I also check TK1775 and TK is still selling this flight for Jun-30, arriving RIX at 18:30. Thus, now, I think it is very likely TK1776 is no longer available is due to Full Flight, not cancellation. Sorry for being paranoid, they cancel my VNO-IST flight, and I have to change to RIX-IST. So afraid they going to change again. At least, I am feeling better now. Thanks Again and Best Regards, Henry

What I meant by a MAX route was before the MAX incidents, that route was going to be operated with a MAX.
I am also flying the same exact route in July and our aircraft had changed from a 737-MAX-8 to a 737-900ER
