Smart Recommendations
Best Time to Book
Book your award flights with Turkish Airlines for travel to Europe during the off-peak months of January to March, specifically for routes like Istanbul to London or Paris, as availability tends to be more abundant and less competitive during this period.
Sweet Spot
You can redeem 40,000 Turkish Airlines miles for a one-way business class ticket from the East Coast (like New York) to Istanbul, which typically costs around $3,000 in cash.
Routing Trick
Book a round-trip from New York (JFK) to Istanbul (IST) via a stopover in Athens (ATH), which costs 40,000 miles instead of the 50,000 miles typically required for a direct JFK-IST ticket, saving you 10,000 miles.
Avoid These Fees
Avoid flying with Spirit Airlines for routes like Las Vegas to Los Angeles, where you can incur up to $65 in carry-on fees and $50 for checked luggage, significantly increasing your travel costs.
