How is this useful to Asia-based travellers?

As there are no selected cities in the Far East (except for Ulaanbaatar), travellers in Singapore (and surrounding region) can take advantage of this offer only for inbound flights that originate from the selected cities.

Great redemption opportunities to consider

Unfortunately, Turkish Airlines seems to have removed Business Class award availability entirely for some city/region pairings.

If you are booking a separate flight to Europe (like a Spontaneous Escapes deal to Frankfurt), this deal could work nicely for the return leg!

As previously shared in Suitesmile Chat Telegram group, here are some great redemption options to consider with good availability.

1) Baltic cities to Asia

Economy: 30k 18k miles + ~US$100
Business: 45k 27k miles + ~US$210
Promotional cities: Riga, Tallinn, Vilnius 

It is fairly easy to find award availability for Economy Class flights from this region to Singapore.

There is no Business Class availability to Singapore but I could find some availability to Jakarta.

2) Other European cities to Asia

Economy: 30k 21k miles + ~US$100
Business: 45k 31.5k miles + ~US$210
Promotional cities: Basel, Bilbao, Bordeaux, Bucharest, Salzburg, Stockholm, Zagreb and more.

Again, there is very good availability in Economy Class and some in Business Class (only to Jakarta).

3) Middle East to Southeast Asia

Economy: 32k 22.4k miles + ~US$110
Business: 47k 32.9k miles + ~US$240
Promotional cities: Abu Dhabi, Bahrain, Doha, Muscat

Again, there is very good availability in Economy Class and some in Business Class (only to Jakarta).

How to earn Turkish Airlines miles?

If you are based in Singapore, only Citibank is a transfer partner of Miles&Smiles.

Reminder: When deciding between cards with similar earn rates, always choose Citi cards for better transfer flexibility in future and longer points validity.

Bottom line

Turkish Airlines is offering 30% to 40% off award tickets booked by 30 Sep 2022.

Although this is not a perfect deal for travellers based in Singapore and the region, there are still ways to take advantage of it, especially if you are booking this month’s Spontaneous Escapes deal to Frankfurt in Economy or Premium Economy.
