Smart Recommendations

Best Time to Book

To maximize your chances of finding availability for award flights on Turkish Airlines, book your tickets for travel during the low season of January to March on popular routes like Istanbul to New York or Los Angeles, as this is when they often release more award seats.

Sweet Spot

You can redeem 80,000 miles for a round-trip business class ticket from New York (JFK) to Istanbul (IST), where cash prices typically range from $3,000 to $4,500.

Routing Trick

Book a round-trip from New York (JFK) to Istanbul (IST) with a stopover in Barcelona (BCN) for 80,000 miles instead of the typical 100,000 miles for a direct JFK-IST flight, saving 20,000 miles while enjoying an extra destination.

Avoid These Fees

Avoid flying with Spirit Airlines on routes to Las Vegas, as they often charge up to $100 in fees for carry-on luggage and seat selection.
