Smart Recommendations

Best Time to Book

Book award flights for Turkish Airlines to popular destinations like Istanbul from major U.S. cities such as New York or Los Angeles during the low travel seasons of mid-January to mid-March, as availability tends to open up significantly during these months.

Sweet Spot

You can book a one-way business class flight from New York (JFK) to Bangkok (BKK) for 50,000 miles with Turkish Airlines, where the typical cash price can exceed $3,000.

Routing Trick

Book a round-trip from New York (JFK) to Bangkok (BKK) via Istanbul (IST), which typically costs 60,000 miles but can be booked for only 50,000 miles if you include a stopover in Istanbul, saving you 10,000 miles.

Avoid These Fees

Avoid flying with Spirit Airlines, as they often charge high fees for carry-on bags, with fees reaching up to $65 for a single carry-on at the gate.
