It was available for as low as $2,600 per person but the availability was very slim and I could never find anything for three people on the same flight.
I put this on a three-day hold Sunday and just booked it today while I thought it over. Last night I had a vivid nightmare that Turkish Airlines established a para-military police force that wandered IST airport looking to collect extra fare from passengers who had booked this. In my nightmare one of the police had a "WANTED" poster with the faces of my family on it. So bizarre.. too much time on Flyertalk!!
In any event, I rarely fly Star Alliance so curious where I should credit this.. Avianca seems like a good bet at 200% RDMs (per the wheretocredit website). Am I missing anything?
This is a fantastic opportunity for you to grab star gold for 2 years. Simply apply for a starts match 2 months before your first flight.
Should give you boosted earnings too
