Smart Recommendations

Best Time to Book

To maximize your chances of booking award flights with Turkish Airlines for 10,000 miles, aim to book your tickets for travel between mid-January and early February, specifically for routes like Istanbul to Athens, as this period typically sees lower demand and higher availability.

Sweet Spot

You can fly from New York (JFK) to Istanbul (IST) for just 10,000 miles one-way in economy class with Turkish Airlines, where cash prices typically range around $800.

Routing Trick

Book a round-trip from New York (JFK) to Istanbul (IST) with a stopover in Athens (ATH) for 10,000 miles, instead of flying direct from JFK to IST, which typically costs 12,000 miles, saving you 2,000 miles.

Avoid These Fees

Avoid flying with Turkish Airlines on routes to/from the USA, as they often impose a high fuel surcharge of approximately $300 on award tickets.
