Thumbs up
Very nice, TK. Now I'll delay my big IST trip to next year. Hope the economy holds. And also Turkey.

^

BTW, it was all over the radio news here this weekend. Curious, because it's a couple weeks after the first announcement, but still a year out. Well, it's all good.

I have tried to look up several dates using United and nothing came up. What months did you see availability?

How many UA miles is BOS-IST in business class? Who are the seats? Do they have a first class? I take it there's no way to UG from economy to business using UA MPs?

Unfortunately the flight will be old-style angle seats in business class - I love the direct route but am torn on just connecting in NYC to get the flatbed for ten hours...

Do they plan on updating the equipment with the new flatbeds? How many miles required?

50k one way. Seats (for the inaugural) no longer available for reception.

If you buy a Y or B fare on Turkish, you can upgrade using MP.

No F on this flight.

Or 60k one way in business if you make IST a stopover and then pop down to Africa which is our plan...well worth the extra 10k miles

Defintitely worth the extra 10K miles - I flew their new 737-900 ER to africa and was very impressed with the seats and the legroom space.

With the UA partner award redemption changes, I believe this is now going up next year. I have to check, and probably book now before it's too late
