Turkish - Award flights using United miles - disappeared.
« on: January 03, 2014, 07:28:34 AM »
I have noticed in last 10 days or so, all Turkish award availability has disappeared fro united award searches. Usually before those flights were first to figure. Any reason? Is Turkish pulling back on making award availability with united miles?

From now till whole of 2014. Can any one find me any Availability of IAD-IST on Turkish airlines non-stop on United site using United points? I am aware Lufthansa will show it with connection. But Turkish use to show it non-stop from IAD-IST. I am unable to find anything. may be I am doing something wrong. I know few days back itself, all award availability was showing on Turkish. for now somehow all has disappeared.

True. Except I asked because I wanted to know which is better to book from if I have to transfer out points from my Amex MR account because I need a last minute flight to IST from NYC.

In that case, that is a whole different question all together.
