Seat assignments on Turkish airlines

[Ms Understood]

We are flying in business class December 18 on Turkish airlines to Vienna via Istanbul. The website indicates I can make my seat selections 100 days out. I thought that was yesterday but when I couldn't find a link to do that decided I might be calculating the days wrong and in fact today is 100 days out. I still can't find any way to see the seats let alone select any. I have "viewed my reservation" and my e ticket but no seat map. Anybody know where that is found on the airlines website?

Are you in the US? If so, there's a toll free number on their website that you can call and an actual person will assign seats for you - no charge. I did this and my ticket is economy - in fact it's the Istanbul nonstop from Houston leaving at 8:45 this evening! :D:D:D

As you have noted, you can only make seat selection, beginning at 100 days out. You'll need to call them to get your seat assignments if you are in this time frame.

Reminds me of mainframe computers at the airlines, and paper tickets. You or your travel agent would phone in a seat request. At check-in the airline used colorful, poster-sized seating charts of the planes. The agent peeled off the label for your seat and stuck it onto your ticket to create the "boarding pass". Of course anyone could go through security and access the gates to see people off or greet arrivals, so the stickers were mostly to assist with boarding.

I had the same problem and ended up having to call them to get our seat assignments a few months ago.

Thanks, all. I did make the phone call and got my seats. Agent could not have been any more pleasant and helpful. Just not used to dealing with actual people anymore!
