Whats the best way to book J using UR on this? CSR 1.5 or a mileage transfer?
Is there more saver award space on TK metal through their own FF program than other *A programs?I'm not seeing any award space on UA.com for the route that I need but seeing plenty on TK.com
Did you try to see if the flight is available using lifemiles?
Just checked and it shows on lifemiles, interesting.
I thought it would, as I have been using lifemiles to book TK in J quite a few times, and I always found some flights that sometimes do not show on UA.
Do you all search also with ANA? I always see lots on there that isn't on UA website.
If a flight booked in one ticket is from TLV-SAW, then from IST to JFK, do you have to arrange your own transfer? And do suitcases transfer automatically?
you have to arrange your own transfer & you will need a visa, depending which passport you have.
TK has saver space that sometimes shows only on their own website as well as Asian partners (such as ANA, SQ, etc.) that doesn't show up on European and American partners.
And suitcases don't get transferred automatically.
I booked myself on TK for next week, hoping to be able to review the new airport, just to discover that the move was pushed off to March after I ticketed. Then I saw https://www.businesstraveller.com/business-travel/2019/01/23/turkish-confirms-new-long-haul-business-class-seat/ which is another reason to hope to fly TK some time in the future.
