Anyone flown from BOS to IST TK82 in business class?
Was wondering if they are going to switch their planes out? Right now my flight is in March 2024 and the plane is showing a350-900 on Turkish website. On google flight it’s also saying a350. On flightaware it’s saying a330. I understand planes do change but let me know if yall flown on this route before on which aircraft.

We are currently is Summer 2023 season.
March 2024, depending on the actual date is Winter 2023-24 or Summer 2024 season.

So what is flying today might not be the indicator on what aircraft you would receive.
Also TK is prone to have last minute equipment changes so likely until closer to the flight, you wouldn't know which equipment you would receive.

Edit: Typo

Sounds like you already purchased the ticket. I am curious what you would do if the plane is indeed an unfavorable 330? Would you cancel your ticket and pay a penalty(if any)?

nah, just gonna go with the flow. I have another trip from JFK to MXP and they switched their plane from the a380 to the 777. Was disappointed, wanted to try the on board bar.

just gotta earn and burn those points before devaluation.

saw some YouTube videos from BOS to IST and they were flying on the a330.

One advantage going to IST is that you may know beforehand the type of a/c while it’s on the way to BOS.

For what it's worth, in October 2022 I flew BOS-IST on A330 and IST-BOS on B787.
