Turkish Airlines Miles&Smiles
Turkish Airlines is offering a Frequent Flyer Program called Miles & Smiles, which offers repeat customers the chance to earn miles by flying with the airline or by using one of the program's partners. A great way to earn additional points is by using Turkish Airlines' partners to book hotel rooms, make purchases at technology stores, and rent cars or by using a Shop&Miles credit card from Garanti Bank.
Through the Miles&Smiles program, travelers are able to earn awards such as free upgrades, award tickets and companion tickets. Additionally, members of the Loyalty Program are able to use their miles on Turkish Airline Flights or with Star Alliance member airlines. Members gain awards based on their amount of use and their current status in the program, which includes Classic Plus, Elite and Elite Plus membership levels.
It's easy to become a member of the Miles&Smiles program. Travelers simply need to sign-up online for the program and then a temporary membership card will be immediately sent to them. The permanent Miles&Smiles Membership Card will be sent out after a member has been on a flight with Turkish Airlines or another Star Alliance Member Airline. As an added a benefit, members receive a membership kit, which includes baggage tags and a membership guide after they reach Classic Plus membership by earning 25.000 miles within a 12-month period. |
