<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nThe offer page is here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You essentially get 50% off at the top end, and pay 1.5c \/ 1.2p per mile. I have to be honest that I knew virtually nothing about Turkish’s Miles & Smiles before, but I did some research and my analysis is as follows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n [Redemption on Turkish]<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This is the redemption chart for redeeming on Turkish Airlines itself:<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are two types of award tickets: Promotion which is a lot cheaper but limited in quantity; and standard which is much higher in inventory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The standard awards are disproportionately expensive so you’d really only want to look at the Promotion tickets, which is more reasonably priced. You can explore with their search engine<\/a> yourself, and here are some examples for business class awards:<\/p>\n\n\n\n If your itinerary contains two or more legs, simply sum up the individual costs. Note that the price for Shanghai – Istanbul is theoretical only, as I couldn’t find any Promotion award on the Shanghai, Guangzhou or Beijing route!<\/p>\n\n\n\n [Redemption with Partners]<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Turkish Airlines is a member of Star Alliance. Unfortunately they initiated a major devaluation earlier this year and there’s hardly any sweet spot any more. The only exception is for domestic flights, where they charge a constant price:<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is a great deal for travelling within countries with a massive territory such as United States and China, as it’s the same cost no matter how long or how many segments you travel. For China I can see many tickets from Air China and Shenzhen Airlines, but mostly in economy. For example Guangzhou to Urumqi:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
