Pre-order?

So apparently pre-order on long haul out of IST is a thing, and I can see it in my booking on the app. However, when I try to select it gives me an error saying it’s only available on international flights. IST-ORD certainly is one.

Any tricks?

Then you should be able to select and pre-order meals for IST-ORD. If the website doesn't work, try the TK mobile app. If the app doesn't work, try the website.
TK's pre-order system doesn't work perfectly so on some cases, despite pre-ordering a meal, the crew would still ask for your selection.

No luck for me

Flying OTP-IST-SEA in business class later this week. Have tried both the website and the app over the last several days, with no luck on being able to pre-order. Is it only offered passengers originating in Istanbul, and not connecting in Istanbul (or some similar crazy restriction)?

Flying BJV-IST-IAH this week and have the same issue. App gives the message that due to operational reasons I am not able to see the preorder options.
