What are Turkish Airlines seat maps and selection options?​

I actually dealt with this pretty recently when flying Turkish Airlines to Istanbul. The seat map was one of the first things I looked at after booking because I really wanted a window seat for the long-haul. Turkish’s system shows a pretty detailed seat map when you go in to manage your reservation, so you can see exactly where the exit rows, bulkhead seats, and extra-legroom spots are. What I liked was that it let me pick in advance, but for the really premium spots, they do charge a small fee unless you’re flying in business class.


On my trip, I had originally chosen an aisle seat, but later realized I’d be more comfortable by the window. Changing it was pretty easy online, but I’ll admit the website glitched once when I tried to finalize the switch. I ended up calling (877)-764-3622, and honestly, that was the smoothest part of the whole process. The rep walked me through the available seats and locked in my new pick in just a couple of minutes.


So yes—you can definitely see the full layout with the Turkish Airlines seat map and make adjustments, but if anything feels off, that number is the fastest way to book, cancel, or modify.

Honestly, figuring out Turkish Airlines’ seat maps and selection options wasn’t as confusing as I expected. When I booked my flight from Istanbul to New York last year, I wanted a window seat with extra legroom, so I logged into my Turkish Airlines account and went to “Manage Booking.” From there, the seat map popped up showing available seats — economy, extra legroom, and business — all clearly marked by color.

Here’s the step-by-step I followed: after choosing my flight, I clicked “Select Seat,” zoomed in on the seat map, and hovered over each seat to see details like legroom and recline. I paid a small fee for my preferred seat since I wasn’t flying Business Class. The best part? Turkish Airlines lets you change or reselect seats even after booking — I actually switched once through the app when I found a better spot near the front.

If you ever need to book, modify, or cancel your seat quickly, the best way is to contact their customer service. They handled my seat change within minutes, and it saved me from last-minute airport stress. It’s worth double-checking your seat map early — good seats go fast!
