Confused with StarAlliance award chart
Can anyone advise what amount of TK miles needed for OW Business from Australia (Oceania region) to Singapore (Far East region). Looking at the chart here (https://www.turkishairlines.com/en-k...rds/index.html) I see 150 000 miles.. I found availability on SingaporeAir but can't define the actual number of miles needed.
Am I doing something wrong?

You would pay 50% of that for a one-way. But, yes, it appears that TK charges an outrageous number of miles for that reward option - probably since TK don't fly to Oceania.

Sour spot. Love it. ^
It does demonstrate that TK doesn't really want us spending miles on partners at all. But it isn't quite vindictive enough to have a completely separate partner reward chart. (although I seem to recall that there might have been one at some point)

On the other hand: TATL J/F or domestic US J redemptions (IF you actually manage to book one) are ‘priced’ generously compared to other *A FFPs.
