Smart Recommendations

Best Time to Book

Book award flights for Turkish Airlines to popular European destinations like Istanbul to Paris or London in late January to early February, as this period often sees lower demand and better availability for award seats.

Sweet Spot

You can fly round-trip in business class from New York (JFK) to Istanbul (IST) for 100,000 Turkish Airlines miles, which typically costs around $3,500 in cash.

Routing Trick

Book a round-trip from New York (JFK) to Istanbul (IST) with a stopover in Athens (ATH) for 100,000 miles instead of a direct flight, saving approximately 20,000 miles compared to booking a round-trip to Istanbul directly.

Avoid These Fees

Avoid flying with Turkish Airlines on routes to North America, as they charge a fuel surcharge of approximately $400 on award tickets, significantly increasing your out-of-pocket expenses.
