Saw it on Gary's blog.



"Promotional fares are excluded."

Any idea what constitutes "promotional fares" in this case?

I think I'm reading it correctly....that the 50% extra miles apply to ALL domestic flights, but only SOME international flights?

The banner implies that it is ALL domestic and ALL international.

Yeah that's right boonkoh, interestingly the banner now seems to have cut that bit of text. There's no mention of whether it's status or bonus miles in the T&Cs, potential for some lucrative mileage runs if it is status . . . .

As far as I understand it, it's only applicable to international destinations listed on that page, i.e Houston (IAH) and 73 others (I presume there's a missing period between "Dublin" and "Goteburg"). I actually did an analysis of fares from IAH to all of those destinations and posted it here -- http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/turki...s-houston.html

Data point: got the 50% bonus for flying out of IAH fairly quickly. My itin was IAH-IST, 8 hour layover, then IST-xxx. Only the IAH-IST segment got the 50% bonus.
