It seems that Valentines special is back:

Only in Turkish - would anyone please translate the details into English?

In summary it's 400 EUR + 2xtax for economy, 500EUR + 2xtax for comfort and 1000 EUR + 2xtax, for flights from IST to Africa, America, Asia.

It is interesting that they add Bangkok to the destinations where Comfort can be booked, which denotes possible use of 777-300, or just a human error

I assume these fares can only be booked by calling the call center, as in past years?

jexelot

Is this already bookable?

synd

it appears from the condition that you need to be an M&S member in order to book and have the number in the reservation, and that only 1 ticket is going to give miles like last year.

here is the link in english now

And of course the website doesn't work. When logged in as M&S member and trying online booking I get this:

Any input regarding the booking classes (J?).

planestupid

Does the travel period of 9 to 15 February refer to the outbound leg or do trips need to be completed within this 7-day time window? If it's the latter everybody will have to leave on Saturday the 9th as there is also a Sat night minimum stay.

dvs7310

Certainly possible. They did run the 77W to BKK and SGN for a short time before and sometime during this past year they changed CAN from 77W to 343. Currently BKK is still 330/343 on the schedule for Feb.

Basar

Outbound leg has to be between 9 to 15 Feb.

Min stay: no limit
Max stay: 8 days

Does anyone know if the second pax could earn miles on another FFP ?

What booking class is it ? J like other years ?

Thanks

kauppias

joorinainen

Availability seems quite slim. Spent over an hr on the phone with various TK agents yesterday just trying to find something in J or PE (initially focused on IST-GRU) and nothing was available. I called reservations and was transferred to the Smiles&Miles desk (reservations had no idea about the promo). Does anyone have the specific fare classes we're supposed to find to check availability??? Thanks!

IST-GRU is a popular route to begin with and usually one of the first routes to sell out as soon as this promotion is announced. All the flights are zeroed out in J during the promotion period. Not sure what fare code they allocated for Comfort Class for the promotion, but I saw some U/O/A availability during those days.

IST-JFK/IAD/ORD flights seem to be wide open in J some days.
