Turkish Airlines' official carry-on baggage page states carry-on is free for ALL fares with no fare-tier exclusion found: 'Carry-on is free for all fares. Both the cabin baggage and personal item are complimentary for all passengers.' No official evidence this session of a lowest-fare cabin-bag-only restriction akin to US Basic Economy. Domestic-Turkey promo tiers (EcoFly/ExtraFly/PrimeFly) affect CHECKED baggage weight (15/20/25 kg respectively) and extra-seat baggage bonuses, not cabin baggage.
