Turkish Airlines is taking their first Boeing 787 Dreamliner delivery shortly. Today the airline has revealed the interior photos on Twitter.
Turkish Airlines Business Class seat on the B787 is identical to the Singapore Airlines B787-10. It is the Aurora seat by Stelia Aerospace.
Turkish Airlines also posted a video of both of the Economy and Business Class on Twitter.
Turkish Airlines new B787 will enter scheduled service on 08 July between Istanbul and Antalya on the following domestic flights.
TK2410/2411 08JUL19 – 30SEP19 Daily (4 weekly 17JUL19 – 06AUG19)
TK2438/2439 08JUL19 – 30SEP19 Daily (4 weekly 17JUL19 – 01AUG19, 6 weekly 02AUG19 – 14AUG19)
International daily 787 service will start with Istanbul to Denpasar Bali from 7th August 2019.
Sam, do you have any news on the retrofitted 77W in Turkish Airline? I just booked some award tickets of IST-SFO for the next year-end holidays and noticed the seat map of business class has changed to 1-2-1 configuration which is currently 2-3-2. Not sure if the new seats on 787 or 350 can fit into 77W.
I am not sure about retrofitted but it could also mean there is an equipment change to 787
Hey, Sam! 🙂 When do you check the Lounges in Istanbul New Airport and Turkish Airlines new 787-9? Or do you wait for the A350-900 in March? They fly 13 april to London Heathrow and 14 april to Dubai with there new A350-900
I will be flying Turkish Air B787 from Dubai on 4th Sept 🙂
Hello Sam,
Which economy seats do you suggest from Istanbul to Denpasar?
Central seats or next to window?
Before or after the wings?
Thanks
Simone
That’s totally up to your personal preference. Everyone prefer something different therefore I cannot advise any of these.
Hey Sam, do you know anything about the seat map problem on the Turkish 787? Systematicalky all the F seats are shown as occupied. At all flights, all long haul destinations every single departure…. Making it impossible to book a couple seat. Me and others have pointed that out to TK but they just ignore it. Can you help? 🙂
Thanks for sharing this problem, I just checked some of the seat map and indeed F is blocked. I will try to pass on this info but cannot guarantee it will work.
Hey Matthew, did you ever find a solution to this? I have been pestering Turkish Airlines about this problem as well but can’t figure out how to book that aisle. Let me know!
Looks very cramped. QR manages to keep the same 1-2-1 configuration and even forgoes the central overhead bins to increase the sense of space in the cabin. I wish TK had gone down the same route. The new hard product on board as well as the new airport lounges now make it cleat that TK is definitely not going down the “5 Star” airline route.
Small correction, first international flight will be IST-DPS on 17th of Jul (cannot be booked), but I’m booked in 2A on the return leg DPS-IST same day
Thanks for this info Tim!
I really think the design of the middle seats is stupid. The couple seats have those big dividers so you can’t talk to your travelling companion without leaning forward. they should have used a divider that can be lowered and raised.
