Smart Recommendations

Best Time to Book

Book award flights for Turkish Airlines to Europe in late January to early February, especially for routes like Istanbul to Paris or London, as availability tends to open up after the holiday season.

Sweet Spot

You can fly from New York (JFK) to Bangkok (BKK) for 60,000 miles in business class with Turkish Airlines, whereas the typical cash price for this route is around $3,500.

Routing Trick

Book a round-trip from New York (JFK) to Istanbul (IST) with a stopover in Bangkok (BKK) instead of directly to Istanbul, which saves you 10,000 miles compared to booking a round-trip to Bangkok separately (70,000 miles).

Avoid These Fees

Avoid booking flights with Turkish Airlines for transatlantic routes, as they often impose high fees, with surcharges reaching up to $800 on award tickets due to fuel and other taxes.
