It was the same last year - miles were credited to the 1st passenger only ( mine went to Miles & More) - so nothing has changed. I do not see however if the ticket HAS to be issued from the call center (or it could be any Turkish based TA), Anyone knows?
BTW: J class for Biz , A for premium eco , G for economy.

flew it last year IST- SGN, got all miles credited on BD, even as the "1 Euro Passenger", of course it could theoratically be different this year, but i highly doubt it. just don't credit the flight on M&S, and you have a great mr on a terrific airline
btw tried to book GRU but seats are already gone. so hurry up!

Can we get a raise of hands on who did or did not get his/her miles credited to which program? Until now I did not hear of any problems of not getting miles credited.
In 2010 we've successfully credited miles for both passengers to Miles&More.
In 2011 I could not travel.
Update: no issues mentioned in the 2011 thread: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/milea...ng-haul-j.html

If there are two of you, you live in Istanbul, and you want to go to Saigon, Sao Paulo etc, it's a great fare.
At a stretch, it might have attractions for those residing outside Turkey: but given the cash and time costs of positioning, and the uncertainty regarding mileage acquisition, it's not looking very attractive from an MR point of view.

In the past years, the offer was quite better. 1.300 you will not get for long haul, if you keep YQ and the 75 Euro TSC in mind.

Website + callcenter confirms that the miles can be credited to Miles&Smiles for the first person and the other can't be credited to Miles&Smiles. These are the facts.
Why i wrote "probably" is that with TK you could probably even call to the callcenter and credit the miles for the second passenger also if you negotiate and you are dealing with agent who doesn't care or know. I also don't know for a fact that the miles can be credited to other FFP's but why wouldn't they be? There is no mention on the website about not getting the miles and the fare class will behave as a normal J-fare. This has been done in 2010 & 2011 before.

Last year did IST-HKG in business brought a oneway economy ticket from LHR in economy and then used BMI miles to go business back from IST as it was a new A330 so business was worth it. Miles credited for both passengers to DC I think the only issue is crediting to turkish but if you go and credit them to any other FFP in star you are fine that was my experience last year just go them to add my DC number at check in and everything was fine. Great fare if you are in Europe.

Went last year on this offer and got a great deal in J. Shame i've only just seen this years offer. Does anyone know if there is any availability left as going through the call centre is difficult, better to have some idea first?
