Hi All,

I'm looking to book IAD-IST-TLV, it appears that most (if not all) the flights in June and July were shifted from 789 to 77W with the 2-3-2 seating...
Do you know if this may change again back to 789? I'm trying to avoid the old business class but doesn't look like I have any better options as I'm using UA miles.

Thanks!

Last minute changes are always possible with TK

Was disappointed to see that my upcoming award flight in June (TK5) booked through NH was also switched from the 789 to 77W. Hoping for another last minute change back.

Yesterday, the 789 was scheduled for IST-IAD (TK7). Today it swapped to the 77W, unfortunately. J/C looks fairly full, unfortunately.

I posted information in the catering threads re: the airport and meals. TK7 was about 75% full in J/C. I was fortunate in that I had 1K with no one next to me. Excellent service on the flight. Terrible cabin if you have to climb over someone. Bedding was available (and everyone was told to ask if they wanted assistance with preparing the bed). Downside is that cabin is locked down around 40 minutes out, i.e. headsets collected, FAs seated, etc., and continuous announcements; onboard entertainment is limited (not much new) - in fact my CAI-IST flight on the A321 had a better selection; and it was implied that I should limit my use of the overhead light.

I asked a question on *A re: priority baggage. Priority baggage was last on the carousel at IAD (cost at least 30 minutes). This is unlikely TK's fault.

It's probably the fault of the outsourced ground handlers at IAD.
Just write this to TK through their website feedback form and they should be able to pass your complaint to the respective outstation.

Not uncommon at IAD for *A international flights. Good idea and I will send feedback right now.
