AJet

AJet is Turkish Airlines' low-cost brand, rebuilt from AnadoluJet and flown mostly out of Istanbul Sabiha Gokcen and Ankara. It runs a single-class economy operation on a fleet of Airbus A320neo-family jets and Boeing 737s, connecting Turkish cities to holiday and city-break destinations across Europe, the Middle East and North Africa. Where a Turkish Airlines mainline seat means cabins and service tiers, AJet keeps it simple: one economy cabin, buy what you want on top.

The fleet splits between two narrowbody families that fly much the same missions. On the Airbus side there is the A320neo and several A321neo fits, the longer jet stretching the same 3-3 cabin over more rows. On the Boeing side sit the 737-800 and the newer 737 MAX 8, again in a few density variants. None of them carry a separate business class, so the choice between them is really a choice of row position rather than cabin.

Every AJet aircraft is one economy cabin at 3-3 abreast, so comfort comes down to where you sit rather than which fare bucket you buy. The seats are the slim modern economy type you would expect on a European low-cost carrier, with pitch that is fine for the short and medium hops these jets fly. Some rows sell as extra-legroom or up-front economy at a surcharge; they are the same seat with more space or an earlier exit, not a different class.

The seats worth paying attention to are the exit rows and the front few rows, which trade a small surcharge for more legroom or a quicker walk off the jet. Avoid the last rows near the rear galleys and lavatories if you want quiet, and skip the row ahead of an exit where the seat-back recline is often fixed. On the longer A321neo fits, sitting forward of the wing keeps you clear of the busiest part of the cabin.
