And they are quite busy at the call center.

No miles on M&S. The fare basis is JLOVE* and the fare buckets displayed are J. I did not do the deal last year but the year before both passengers got 200% miles credited to Miles&More (Lufthansa etc). I assume/hope it also works next year.

Never assume...it's a lot of cash for a hit and miss if you will be getting miles or not and you most likely still need feeder flights....

Sorry. Can not believe that inventory is going so fast. It is not that cheap, no miles. It is a good deal, but not the mother of all deals.

I have done the deal twice, but this year conditions are much worse.

With a fare code of Jxxx, why would this fare NOT earn miles with non-Miles & Smiles frequent flyer programs (BD, CO/UA, etc?)

Did this clause appear in last year's program?
Did others earn miles last year?

I'm sorry I can't make use of it, but don't know why you say this is not the mother of all deals, when you pay ~1300 EUR for 2 (two) tickets in business class, on one of the best C products available...

Miles can be credited to Miles&Smiles for first passenger but not on the second passenger. I have confirmed this from callcenter. Agent insisted that the miles couldn't be credited but when i told her to ask from supervisor she put me on hold and after a while she came back on the phone and said that they revised the rules 16.12 and now the miles can be credited.

You can find the information also here: http://www.turkishairlines.com/en-IN...-campaign.aspx

Probably the miles can be credited to other FFP's also like in earlier years Valentine's promotions.

Thank you, joorinainen, but I'm sorry, I don't get enough of a warm fuzzy feeling from this post to jump. "him", then "she", "they revised the rules", "Probably", and miles can be credited to other FFPs but not to the airline' own "like in earlier years"? I dunno...
