The Big Picture
If you’re looking to travel to Turkey or beyond, we found up to 4 seats in business class between January and May, 2024 with prices as low as 45k per person one way or 88k per person roundtrip. Departure airports include: JFK, EWR, IAH, DFW, ATL, MIA, BOS, ORD, YYZ, YUL, YVR, SFO, LAX, and SEA.
One of the reasons this route is so great as well is that there are many European destinations available beyond Istanbul for the same price (when booked on Turkish). Use FlightConnection or Wiki to see what other destinations you can connect to from Istanbul through Turkish. If you want to travel beyond Europe, the price will be subject to the promotional award chart found directly on Turkish Airline’s website ranging from 47-85k per person to Africa, Asia, and the Middle East.
There are many ways to book this ticket available with most currencies.
- Book directly on Turkish’s own program (Miles&Smiles) using points from Citi, Capital One, or Bilt. Prices will be 45k per person one way, but if it’s your first time booking and you are booking more than one person you will need to call the airline to book.
- Book through ANA using AMEX points. Price will be as low as 88k per person roundtrip. We recommend you find saver award availability through United’s low fare calendar or ExpertFlyer (search for fare class “I”).
- Book through Avianca LifeMiles using AMEX, Citi, Capital One, or Brex points for as low as 63k per person one way. If you book before Aug 31, you may receive a 15% transfer bonus from AMEX.
- Book through Air Canada using Chase, AMEX, Citi, Capital One, or Barclays points for as low as 75k per person. The advantage of this would be if you wanted to add a stopover using Air Canada’s Aeroplan stopover program for as little as 5k extra.
- Book through United using Chase or Bilt points for as low as 88k per person one way for any Chase loyalist. Keep in mind if you book as a roundtrip, you could utilize United’s excursionist perk and add in a free stopover within Europe.
All of the dates below have confirmed availability for at least 2 passengers with up to 4 seats available through Turkish Airlines. Please note availability varies between programs. Expect to pay under $60 per person each way in taxes.
