Turkish Airlines is running an award flash sale between Boston and Istanbul, Turkey. Today (November 21, 2024) only, you can book award flights between Boston and Istanbul for 20,000 miles each way in economy!
You're going to need Turkish Miles & Smiles to take advantage of this promotion. Don't worry if you don't already have Turkish Miles & Smiles; you can transfer from Citi ThankYou Points, Capital One Miles, and Bilt Rewards at 1:1 transfer rates.
Turkish Airlines Miles & Smiles Flash Sale
For flights between December 1, 2024 and May 31, 2025, you can book economy-class tickets between Boston (BOS) and Istanbul (IST) for just 20,000 miles each way. This sale doesn't have any stated blackout dates, but awards are subject to availability.
Boston to Istanbul
One-way flights between Boston (BOS) and Istanbul (IST) are bookable for just 20,000 miles in economy. For a long-haul flight, this is an incredible price. We have yet to see discounted business class availability — or any saver award availability, for that matter. Every day we found at 135,000 miles each way in business class.
But in economy, there's no lack of availability. It's hard to throw a rock without hitting economy availability in the range of dates included in this promotion.
How to Take Advantage of This Offer
To find these deals, log in with your Miles and Smiles account and select “Award ticket – buy a ticket with miles” when searching.
Availability is stellar, so you shouldn't have any issues finding an economy award on the routes eligible for the promotion.

But remember, you'll need to act fast. This promotion ends on November 21, 2024.

Great article! Can I transfer my United Airlines miles to Miles and Smiles to take account of this offer?
Unfortunately not. However, you can transfer Citi ThankYou points, Capital One miles, or even Marriott Bovnoy points to Turkish Miles & Smiles. See all of your points and miles transfer options here: https://awardwallet.com/mile-transfer-times
I’ll add this to my bucket list as my return from Istanbul for a future trip, but for now, I’m about 10k shy of the Bilt points needed to book this. However, it’s a goal worth saving up for!
Business is 105,000 now
That’s only on dates that don’t have saver availability. Search some other dates and hopefully you’ll find the sub-34k fares!
This seems to show up as 105,000 miles one way for me? How can you find this?
That’s the price for non-saver dates. I’m still seeing sub-34k awards on some dates.
I’ve flown this several times however I’ve just tried numerous dates and nothing shows for under 105K business?
great deal! plus, if you have a stop of several hours turkish airlines offers a free tour or free hotel!
Unfortunately, it looks as if “Stopover Free Accommodation Service has been temporarily suspended as a precaution to Corona Virus (COVID-19) as of 13th of March, 2020.” https://www.turkishairlines.com/en-int/flights/stopover/
Just you to know the Turkish lira has hit a record low last Nov , this means that holidays will be cheaper than ever.
31,500 miles for business class on Turkish is a great deal.
It is definitely an excellent opportunity to get to know Turkey, I recommend it. Don’t miss out on this fascinating country!
If you are contemplating travel to Turkey, I highly recommend a couple of weeks exploring the west of the country at least, outside of Istanbul. Amazing place, lots of Roman and ancient history, the food is absolutely superb, ( particularly their wonderful breakfasts) and the country is well set up for tourists. Politics aside, a very worthwhile travel destination.
This is a great deal for AA flyers from South America due to easy and big number of combination of routes that AA has bettwen Dallas Airport and South Americas airports .
It seems to be a great opportunity!
They are now 31500 miles in business
Thanks for the heads up! We updated the post.
That is an amazing deal for both economy and business class–especially business class. But my big points are with Chase and others that don’t transfer to Miles and Smiles. Istanbul is an amazing place and I would love to go back some day. However, in addition to this not being a deal for me, travel to Asia during the ongoing Covid crisis is more hassle than I want right now.
Istanbul is always a great city for a layover.
The Turkish Airlines Business Lounge in the New Istanbul Airport is supposed to be fantastic.
TK hard product in Long haul is is great and the short haul business probably the best in Europe, so can be worth the detour to IST.
Looks like a good way to visit turkey on the cheap
What a great deal! Time to open up a Citi Premier card to transfer all those points to Turkish Miles and Smiles.
Thanks for the tip! Istanbul is also also a short distance from other places, it is easy to hop back to Greece and even Italy in the same trip .
Always wanted to go to IST and have heard great things about TK’s hard and soft products
Feels like the fee surcharge ($170) is a bit too high…
100% agree. I paid $563 for a one way ticket from ATH-IST-BOS-RDU for a flight in October 2019 — 22,000 miles + $170 doesn’t seem like a great deal.
That business class ticket seems like a GREAT deal though.
A great opportunity to enjoy the excellent business class of Turkish
This is certainly a very good deal. Does anyone know how the overall availability is for 2 seats ?
This is an awesome opportunity to visit Turkey. I’ll definitely be checking it out to get a chance to visit Turkey for the first time.
Turkey nowadays is a gate to America for Europeans. You just have to spend 2 weeks there before departure.
I’m refraining from nonessential travel at this time, but will look for good deals to fly to Turkey in the future.
That’s a hot deal. Headed to Turkey next year (knock on wood). Luckily got a similar price on the direct flight from LA.
Istanbul was Constantinople…Now it’s Istanbul, not Constantinople
Been a long time gone, Constantinople…Now it’s Turkish delight on a moonlit night
