This deal is insane. I'm literally going to have a full day (not to mention a relaxing evening and a relaxed return day) in Istanbul and I only had to take one day off work. I usually never bite on these deals because my schedule isn't the most flexible - but I had to on this...

Hoping these miles load up on my Air Canada Aeroplan ok...

Booked two of these with my Flexperks points. 20,000 Flexperks points for a RT to Istanbul is insanely cheap. And I get 10,000 United miles out of each roundtrip. It's a unique way to convert Flexperks points into UA miles, including PQMs, plus a free visit to Istanbul. Too good to pass up.

Coming up next: IST lounge meetup thread.

United's website says that you get 100% TK G. Link below. G shows up on the discount economy.

This is already known, as someone said up-thread, the challenge is fighting to get the miles actually credited.
