Seat Map Turkish Airlines Airbus A330 300

Turkish does not use the pods in their business class layout but a lay flat seat with an ottoman on the back of the passenger’s seat located ahead of your row.
Pros: When seats are in the upright position you can walk from starboard to port aisles without having to walk through the galleys or head areas. It must make the cabin cleaning operation much easier. It’s also easier to stand up and walk out of your seat area if needed.
Cons: Total lack of “privacy”. When seat is in upright position some passengers use your seating area to transit between aisle. No space for storage your personal belongings close to you. The armrest, shared with your neighbor is very narrow and has space for a couple of glasses only.
The only storage available is inside the ottoman which means the only access is by putting your seat in the seating position, standing up and lean forward to lift the lid of the ottoman.
The video screen is attached to the back of the passenger’s seat in front of you and it’s quite a distance from you especially when in reclining position.
As I say previously there is no space to put your headphones or other items close to your seat so it’s either on your lap or on the floor.
The power and headphones outlets are located behind the armrest, difficult to reach and select. The video remote fits into its storage close to your headrest. Once you use it you need to store it back having no place to keep it handy.
Turkish staff “makes” your bed with a seat cover an supplies pillows and bed covers as well as a gift bag with some toiletries. All needs to go inside rage ottoman other your seating area becomes very cluttered and you spend your time retrieving your items which have slipped between the armrest and the seat or on the aisle floor.
In conclusion ones needs to do frequent space decluttering.
The table comes out of the armrest so once in position there is no way out of your seat unless your store it back.
There is one small reading light close to your headrest if needed.
Turkish is above the rest of the occidental airlines in terms of service and food. Food service is done by a chef assisted by flight attendants and choices of appetizers and desserts are displayed on a trolley as it used to be the norm in the 20th century.
I hope Turkish will retrofit their business class with more convenient pod layouts.

This is an older style business class with no direct aisle access for window seats. However, the leg room is great. The seat was roomy. A bit difficult to locate outlet to plug phone charger in. Seat itself was a bit too firm for me and I was only able to manage 3 hours of sleep.
Food was good, though the fish main course was overcooked/too dry. Appetizers and desserts were very tasty. All food portions were substantial enough. There was a lack of flight attendants asking if I needed anything, like water. One FA I did request water from forgot so I had to ask another FA.
The controller for the entertainment was kinda wonky. Needed to press button very firmly twice for the system to respond.

Announcements were loud (also too frequent) and annoying while repetitious; no ''welcome to... or time, temperature report on landing. Rough approach to commercial flying/operations. Seat 26G is a tight seat for anyone over 1.9m /6''3'with little leg room; managed a better seat w/ helpful attendant at front of Eco, section. Great service and above average food. Entertainment was VGood to excellent , live TV was great- BBC, CNBC, Sky and other channels. Sameplane on JNB to IST /same day, same review. Best airline in Europe? ...maybe not!

Leg room is limited, and the foot well room width is pretty limited between the mounting rains. I ended up moving to get middle two seats of the same row, so I had room to stretch out a bit more. Otherwise it would have been a miserable flight. They just have too many seats crammed in too close together.

The pic with me sitting is 20j.

I could never get the inflight wifi working either with my miles and smiles membership.

Aircraft in good shape and the seat plan was like stated here on the website. As the flight was not fully booked every one traveling alone had no neighbor. Full flat bed a bit short, but ok. The entertainment system is quite far away, newer business classes are better (reverse herringbone) but it was more than ok. Service and catering was excellent again. 1 Gb WiFi in flight for free is also great.

L accueil par le personnel de bord est agréable et nominatif. La prise de commande du repas et boisson est correcte. La cabine est bien disposée. Le choix des divertissements est bien fourni. Le casque dépend des vols. Sur mon second parcours Istanbul Johannesburg le casque était très confortable. L inclinaison du siege permet de dormir sans être replié sur soi.

Only 7 years old aircraft(A333,in detail: A330-343 / TC-LOF) , seating different to plan here (see photo). Everyting inside looking quite old and a bit chubby. Not sure if the seats were really flatbeds, doubt it. Despite the look and feel of the aircraft, service and food was really good. As we were only 5 people in BC service quality was outstanding.

Ich bin mit einem Airbus 330-300 von Berlin nach Istanbul geflogen und war sehr zufrieden mit der Beinfreiheit, es gab sogar gemütliche Kissen, der Service war für so eine relativ kurze Strecke sehr gut, Essen super lecker, Getränke eine große Auswahl, da könnten sich andere Airlines eine Scheibe abschneiden

What a wonderful experience captain gave cabin crew pep talk prior to flight, not necessary as all staff lead by excellent purses treated us like royalty, lovely local flight, lounge not to be missed, people wonderful with many cultures. See you again in three weeks.

Traveled from ARN earlier today with an A300-200 to IST. Brand new and great experience. Now I’m on TK64 a IST-BKK on A300-300. Still very nice but I think a bit older. But forget about the aircraft....the service, food etc are extraordinary!!
