7. Turkish Airlines Boeing 777 300er

Oct 18, 2020 Ten years ago, Turkish Airlines received its first Boeing 777-300ER purchased directly from Boeing by the flag carrier and came not too long after the airline put in leased 777s into service. Since then, the airline has grown its 777 fleet to 33 planes, including both owned and leased aircraft. This Turkish Airlines Boeing 777-300ER V1 aircraft features a two class configuration with 49 Business Class flat bed seats and 300 standard Economy seats.

We photographed TC-LJH, a Turkish Airlines Boeing 777-300ER, while plane spotting at Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) on October 22, 2017. This was less than a year and a half after the aircraft was delivered to Turkish Airlines and eight months after a bomb threat incident just before taking off from Istanbul, Turkey to Toronto, Ontario, Canada. More on that below.

TC-LJH took its first flight on May 7, 2016 and was delivered to THY Turkish Airlines on May 31, 2016. The Boeing 777-3F2ER is configured for a maximum total of 349 passengers with 49 seats in business class and 300 seats in economy class. This is one of 33 Boeing 777-300ER models flying for Turkish Airlines and the largest airliner in the fleet.

On February 18, 2017, TC-LJH was to fly from Istanbul’s Ataturk Airport to Toronto Pearson International Airport as Flight TK17. As the flight was being pushed back from the gate, flight staff found a note in one of the washrooms stating, “I am coming to you with Toronto bomb.” Other sources say that “Bomb to Toronto” was written on the bathroom wall. Regardless, the aircraft returned to the terminal and all 292 passengers were evacuated and searched. The passengers then boarded an alternate plane and continued on to Toronto.

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.
