Turkish Airlines Economy Award Flights Available With a 20-30% Discount [Book by August 24]

Turkish Airlines is offering up to a 30% mileage discount when booking award tickets for flights to and from Istanbul, though the offer only applies when traveling in economy.

You have until August 24, 2025, to book this deal. Eligible travel dates are October 1 through December 5, 2025.

Here’s what you need to know about this Miles&Smiles award promotion.

Turkish Airlines Award Sale — Details

Travelers who book tickets using the Turkish Miles&Smiles program will get up to a 30% reduction in the miles cost refunded if they book by August 24 and travel October 1 through December 5, 2025. Both one-way and round-trip bookings are eligible, and the discount amount you receive will depend on the destination.

A limited number of seats are available with this Turkish Airlines sale, so anyone interested should book quickly. Unfortunately, award tickets are only discounted for flights with Turkish Airlines and only in economy.

Turkish Airlines is offering discounts on a huge range of routes to and from Istanbul. Most destinations—including all U.S. gateways like Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, Seattle, and others — are 30% off. A smaller group of cities, including Boston, Denver, Montreal, and Vancouver, gets a 20% discount. All domestic flights within Türkiye are also on sale.

There are some other terms to note for this promotion:

• Book tickets by August 24, 2025.
• Fly to or from Istanbul between October 1 and December 5, 2025.
• Valid in economy class only.
• Partner award flights are not eligible.
• Valid on one-way or round-trip itineraries.

How To Book

You can use Turkish Airlines’ website or mobile app to book these tickets, although it is rather slow and only lets you search for a day at a time. However, you will see a weekly view at the top of your search results, helping you see a few days before and after your search date.

It’s easy to earn Turkish Airlines Miles&Smiles miles. Turkish is a transfer partner of Bilt Rewards, Capital One miles, and Citi ThankYou Rewards. These rewards currencies all transfer to Turkish Airlines at a 1:1 ratio, which means 1 point becomes 1 Turkish Airlines Miles&Smiles mile.

You can also transfer points from Marriott Bonvoy at a 3:1 ratio, with a 5,000-mile bonus for every 60,000 Marriott Bonvoy points transferred. However, transfers from Marriott may not show up on the same day, meaning they might not arrive before the seats you want disappear.

Final Thoughts

Start planning your travels for October to December, as Turkish Airlines is offering a nice 20% to 30% discount on award tickets in and out of Istanbul to many destinations. You’ll need to fly with Turkish Airlines itself, book with Miles&Smiles miles, and do so by August 24, 2025, to score the discount.
