Wow! Look at those new earnings for domestic flights. TK is really bending over backward toward their own Turkish M&S members, it'd be much harder to achieve even C+ (let alone E and E+) for those travelling primarily within Europe and Turkey.

Luckily I just re-qualified for E+ this month by flying so many cheap segments while in Turkey. I'll really need to plan ahead on how to get 40K miles in 2016.

p.s. If anyone hasn't noticed, TK has removed meats on all sandwiches served on domestic flights (now it's just cheese sandwich). I'd be flying with Pegasus or AtlasJet next time instead.

However, for those who fly across the Atlantic frequently, it's still among the easiest. I believe at some point TK will up the renewal requirements for E and E+ too. (ie. 80K within 2 years for E+)
