Smart Recommendations
Best Time to Book
To maximize your award availability with Turkish Airlines, consider booking flights to Istanbul (IST) from major North American cities like New York (JFK) or Chicago (ORD) in late January to early February, as this is typically a low travel period post-holiday season.
Sweet Spot
A great redemption is flying from Istanbul to Bangkok for 45,000 miles in business class, which typically costs around $2,500 in cash.
Routing Trick
Consider booking a flight from New York (JFK) to Bangkok (BKK) via Istanbul (IST) instead of a direct route; this can save you about 5,000 miles since the direct route is approximately 8,500 miles, while the routed flight through Istanbul is around 7,500 miles.
Avoid These Fees
Avoid flying on Turkish Airlines' domestic routes within Turkey, as they can impose high fees, such as a fuel surcharge of up to $70 per ticket.
