Partnering up with GOL works for Turkish Airlines since it gives their customers many more options when arriving in South America.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, from GOL\u2019s point of view, partnering up with Turkish is a great way for it to tap into the large number of international travelers arriving in Sao Paulo.<\/p>\n<p>For now, the partnership is still relatively new and only applies to earning miles. Hopefully the partnership will expand to include the ability to redeem your Turkish Airlines Miles & Smiles and GOL miles for award flights on each other\u2019s airline.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ftoc\"><div id=\"toc_container\" class=\"toc_light_blue no_bullets\"><p class=\"toc_title\">Page Contents<\/p><ul class=\"toc_list\"><li><a href=\"#Earning_Turkish_Airlines_Miles_For_Flights_on_GOL\">Earning Turkish Airlines Miles For Flights on GOL<\/a><ul><li><a href=\"#Overview\">Overview<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Earning_Rates\">Earning Rates<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><a href=\"#Earning_GOL_Miles_For_Flights_on_Turkish_Airlines\">Earning GOL Miles For Flights on Turkish Airlines<\/a><ul><li><a href=\"#Overview-2\">Overview<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Earning_Rates-2\">Earning Rates<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><a href=\"#Our_Take\">Our Take<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Turkish Airlines and GOL have announced a new partnership letting you earn miles when you fly on each other&#8217;s flights.
