Turkish airlines bumped me from my (paid) seat selection to one a few rows back due to “operational reasons” via text on an Istanbul to Chicago flight. When I boarded there was a boy sitting in my seat. What gives?

Probably to seat a family together. You should ask them for a refund + compensation

Compensation is a stretch for no change in cabin or even W/M/A preference…

If the child was under-age, it's possible that they needed two seats together for parent and child. Families with small children and people with special needs have priority.

Was there a material difference in the seat they provided and the seat you paid for?

Aircraft swaps, etc. happen and you’re always subject to being reseated. Moving a few rows back isn’t material. You could ask for a refund of a seat selection charge though because the airline didn’t deliver the service you paid for.

It was probably a broken seat. Happens fairly often.

Someone sat in it the entire flight.
