Pro & Cons of Turkish Airlines Miles&Smiles
Miles&Smiles
Turkish Airlines named its frequent flyer program Miles&Smiles.
- Only 40,000 tier miles are needed for Star Alliance Gold status.
- Status is valid for 2 years.
- Re-qualification is rather easy. 25,000 tier miles in your first year or 37,500 within two years will keep you golden – at least if you live outside of Turkey.
- Softlanding, if you can’t qualify for your current status level again. If you manage to reach Elite Plus, you could keep Star Alliance Gold for up to 4 years without earning miles.
- Free on-board WiFi for Elite member and higher
- Lower earning rate for award miles. Some booking classes (e.g., Lufthansa K, L, and P) won’t earn you any miles at all.
- The carrier’s website isn’t the best. Even differences in mileage charts depending on the selected language can’t be ruled out.
