Turkish Airways operates daily flights between Atlanta and Istanbul, so you don't need to limit your travels to certain dates. The aircraft is a Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner — one of my favorite airlines in the skies.

If you don't already have Miles and Smiles, you can transfer points from your Citi, Capital One, or Bilt:

Just make sure to create a new Turkish Airways account if you don't already have one. If you have more than enough miles, don't forget you can use Miles & Smiles to book inexpensive award flights with any Star Alliance airline.
