Miles&Smiles redemptions

Turkish Airlines offers a network that covers many destinations globally, and award availability can be decent. Although there are lots of opportunities to optimize Turkish Airlines miles, fuel surcharges can make tickets expensive.

On all award tickets operated by Turkish Airlines, one stopover is allowed. You are allowed one open-jaw (instead of a stopover) for round-trip awards. The best Turkish Airlines sweet spots include award flights to Hawaii for 7,500 Miles&Smiles miles and 45,000-mile business class awards to Europe.

How to earn a lot of United Points

You can transfer points to Miles&Smiles from Bilt Rewards, Capital One Rewards, and Citi ThankYou Points at a 1:1 ratio. You can also use your Marriott and transfer to Miles&Smiles at a ration of 3:1.
