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!
