Award ticket types

Under the Miles&Smiles program, award tickets for Turkish Airlines flights can be divided into two groups; "promotion award ticket" and "award ticket".

A defined number of seats will be allocated on our flights for promotion award ticket. If there is space available within this allocation, a reservation can be made. For promotion award ticket, the reservation class is X for Economy Class and I for Business Class. The Miles value of promotion award tickets lower than award tickets.

There is no allocation limit on award tickets. Just as passengers who are traveling with paid tickets, as long there is space on a flight, an award ticket can be issued.* For award tickets, the reservation class is X for Economy Class and I for Business Class. On Turkish Airlines award tickets issued in combination with Star Alliance member airlines, the reservation class will be the reservation class for promotion award tickets. Miles values provided in the Star Alliance award ticket table will apply for award tickets issued in combination.

To get more information, you can review promotion award ticket table, award ticket table and award region table via our page.
