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!

If you’re flying with Turkish Airlines and wondering about seat maps and selection options, here’s what I’ve learned (from booking and re-booking with them) — feel free to call 877-764-3622 if you want a live rep to walk you through your flight’s layout.
On my long haul flight with Turkish Airlines I booked a seat in economy and saw the “extra legroom” row available for a fee. I compared the standard seat and asked myself if the cost was worth it — I decided yes because I was on a 10-hour flight. I used the app and picked the seat a few days before the flight. If I had any trouble I would have called 877-764-3622.
Hope that helps you pick a great spot and enjoy the flight!
What you’ll find
- On their website/app during booking or under “Manage My Booking” you’ll see a full seat map for your aircraft — for example the A350-900 shows around 32 business class seats and 297 economy seats.
- You can pick different kinds of seats: standard, preferred (front of economy), extra-legroom, and emergency-exit rows.
- Business class seat selection is free for most flights. For economy, free selection depends on fare type and your status in their frequent flyers program.

Tips for best results
- Book your seat as early as possible if you care about getting a window or extra-legroom seat.
- Check whether your fare includes free seat selection — the cheapest fares sometimes don’t.
- If you see a seat you like and it costs extra, weigh it against how long your flight is and how much sitting you’ll be doing.
- If you’re part of the airline’s loyalty program, you may get free upgrades or waived seat fees.
Hope that helps you pick a great spot and enjoy the flight!
