Dates are not normally a problem as long as it is not dynamically priced (and saver availability is present). For economy, the cheapest would be via Virgin Atlantic which may cost around 14000 miles (but may have a little less than 200 Euro in taxes). Avianca life miles (currently transfers from HDFC) will be around 25k miles (plus around 125 in taxes).

For Turkish, you need to create an account and can book tickets from the Turkish website. Just FYI, booking tickets for one's companion is a little tricky if you (the Turkish account holder) have never redeemed a ticket using Turkish miles.

While booking tickets from Turkish website, I’m not able to search for award tickets on partner airlines. How can I do that?

I’m doing this but can see award tickets only for TK operated flights. Not for partner awards. How to do that?

I think with turkish you have to go partner site to book award flights. Never tried from turkish web so have no idea someone might add more value here

Hi

I was also in the same boat. Couldn’t search for Turkish star alliance awards.
Had posted here but got no answer for it.

Have now figured it out.
The trick is to login to Turkish FFP, click your name, click ‘miles transaction’, and then there’ll be something that says search star alliance.

Click on that and you can then search for award on star alliance using Turkish ffp.

You’re welcome!
