Miles & Smiles is the loyalty program of Turkish Airlines and as another year draws to a close, it has brought back a very popular promotion that, if I’m remembering correctly, it ran around the same time in 2021.
Through 25 December, Miles & Smiles members can get a 30% discount on select award bookings and although US cities appear to be excluded from this promotion, there should be quite a few good deals out there for anyone originating in Turkey or in any of the 100 cities outside of Turkey that are included.

Quick thoughts
Ok, so the fact that this doesn’t appear to be a promotion that covers US cities is more than a little disappointing, but if you would like to book travel on the 100+ routes covered by the terms and conditions, these are some very nice savings to be made.
Also, if you happen to have access to Citi’s ThankYou program via, for example, the Citi Premier® Card, you can transfer points across to the Miles & Smiles program to ensure that you have enough points in your account to make whatever bookings you need to make.
Bottom line
The Turkish Airlines Miles & Smiles program is currently offering a 30% discount on award bookings (Business Class included) for travel on select routes that booked by 25 December 2022 and that’s completed by 31 May 2023.
