Comfort Class was available exclusively on Turkish Airlines Boeing 777-300ER jets. There were a lot of Comfort Class seats onboard – 63 in all – along with 28 business class seats. Despite most airlines gravitating towards premium economy seating at the time, Turkish Airlines had decided by 2013 that its Comfort Class had to go.
Boeing 777-300 operated by Turkish Airlines may transport 349 passengers in two classes: business and economy.
Business class offers 49 flat bed seats that have 177 degree recline. These seats are divided into two sections. First section has 4 rows of seats that have 2-3-2 configuration and the second section – 3 rows with the same configuration.
Location of the galley behind may cause discomfort to passengers of the seats of the 4th row.
The second section of business class seats is located behind the exit row. The noise from the galley and lavatories located behind may be bothersome for passengers’ of the seats of the 7th row.
Economy class consists of 300 standard seats that are located in three sections. Most of the economy class seats have 3-3-3 configuration.
First section includes 6 rows of seats per 9 in each. The seats of the 11th row have the following disadvantages: close location of the galleys and lavatories, reduced seat width and lack of floor storage during take-off and landing.
The main disadvantage of the seats 14A and 14K is no windows.
Due to the exit row located behind the seats of the 16th row are less reclining than standard.
The second section of economy class seats has 16 rows of seats: 14 of them have 3-3-3 configuration and 2 rows contain 3 seats.
The seats 23DEG, 24ABC and 24HJK are considered the best seats because they offer extra legroom. However, these seats have no floor storage during take-off and landing. In addition, the seats 24ABC and 24HJK are a little narrower than standard as the tray tables are built-in the armrests making them immovable.
Close location of the galley will cause discomfort to passengers of the seats 38DEG.
The last section of economy class seats offers 114 seats. Thanks to the exit row in front passengers of the seats 40ABC and 40HJK will feel comfortable as these seats have extra space for their legs. But these seats have no floor storage during take-off and landing, have slightly reduced seat width and are located close to the galley.
The seats 42DEG are considered good seats as passengers of these seats will feel comfortable during the flight thanks to extra legroom.
Because of the curvature of the airplane the seats 49A and 49K have limited space for passengers’ legs.
As there are no seats behind, the seats 50C and 50H are often bumped by other passengers and crew members passing by.
Other passengers tend to gather in the area of the seats 52B, 52J and of the seats of the last 53th row while waiting to use lavatories thus causing discomfort to passengers of these seats. Limited legroom makes the seats of the 53th row bad seats.
