• Selected seats are also canceled if Turkish Airlines changes any of its flights or cancels any flights.
• It is possible to change free seats within a certain time frame, but paid seats cannot be changed.
• The seat fee may be refunded if the purchased seat is changed due to Turkish Airlines systems or for operational reasons.
• This change makes reimbursement of any fee, including the ticket fare, impossible.
• When requesting an emergency exit seat, passengers must confirm their eligibility.
• Those who need a second seat belt or are carrying infants may not use the emergency exit seat.
• Passengers traveling with a pet, a guide dog, or an emotional support dog are not permitted to sit in extra-legroom or emergency exit seats.

If I am flying with the group, can I upgrade my ticket or confirm specific seats on my flights?

It is possible to upgrade to extra legroom seats, but only if such seats are available at the time of after ticketing. The cost for upgrading a seat depends on the particular seat selected and will be provided at the time of booking.

Turkish Airlines:

Until further notice, Turkish Airlines economy class advance seat selection can be purchased with a fee. Therefore, we are unable to reserve seats for the group participants from the ticketing department.

Kindly inform us which seat(s) the individual participant would like to purchase during the registration process. Participants listed separately from the group can proceed with purchasing their preferred seats after the group ticketing process is finalized. Following that, we will provide these participants with their ticket or Record locator number, allowing them to access their reservation and directly purchase their preferred seat(s) through the Turkish Airlines website.

For Business Class passengers, seating reservations can be made free of charge immediately after the ticketing process is completed.

The current costs for seats on Turkish Airlines international flights are as follows:

• Exit row seat: $119.00 each way
• Regular seat: $39.00 each way.

Please be aware that Turkish Airlines reserves the right to modify prices and availability without prior notice. Purchased seats are nonrefundable. If you decide to cancel or change your travel dates, new seat purchases will be necessary. Refunds for seat payments are only possible in cases where Turkish Airlines initiates a schedule change or cancels a flight.

That is up to the individual. It is recommended that you at least have medical travel and medical evacuation insurance, which is very nominal.

If you would like to get travel insurance:
Travel insurance is available as a separate package at an extra cost.  The cost of travel insurance is approximately $210 to $350 depending on length of tour, tour inclusions, traveler’s age etc.

Tour participants may call our associate office in New Jersey, Prime Travel, to purchase travel insurance and obtain the exact rate for your tour. The travel insurance policy is a contract between the traveler and the Insurance Company (Travel Guard, Allianz etc.).   Tutku Tours has no role in booking or in the payment of the travel insurance.
