next flight posted 6 minutes later - if it could just go on at that rate (12.500 status miles in 7 minutes), I'd be lifetime elite+++ when I wake up tomorrow
And it was fun. Flying TK domestic C is just another world than LH - 5 stars for TK where LH would receive one (from "fast track" with 1 hour standing in line at FRA vs 20 seconds in IST/AYT and of course the empty ISL to real C busses and real C seats and real great food...)

Since this TZX route was not departing from ISL at the time when this promotion started, hope that it would be included since it is flying to/from ISL.

Everyone is waiting an answer for Adana, Trabzon or Gaziantep. To learn if these destinations are eligible for the promotion, you should fly and wait for the miles to be credited. I am waiting for the same answer for 2 weeks and I have mileages runs planned next week both to TZX and GZT.

The answer for the mysterious TZX/ADA/GZT question is like this;
I have flown Business to Trabzon from Istanbul-ISL and received 1250 status miles and 1250 award miles for D fare class.
That means no 5x more miles. I haven't deleted the promotion flyer e-mail that wrote all flights from ISL so I would write a complaint letter about it.
For those interested the mail had sent to all M&S users on the 31st of October.
If you're flying to TZX/ADA/GZT for a mileage run, good luck with receiving your extra miles.

If flying JFK-IST on Dec 31, would this still qualify for the promotion? The flight will take place Dec 31 even though the landing is Jan 1.
Just wondering if I should jump on this last minute or not as there are some good promotional J fares.

Nothing to do with the new airport. You should read the T&Cs of the promo more carefully. (or even the title of this thread!)

Same here, I am writing a complaint letter as well, but given that they also have that small blurry grey coloured sentence explaining the destinations included in the promotion, I suppose our letter may have little chance to get a positive answer...
Of course, it is very debatable why we should give more credit to the small blurry grey coloured condition restriction, than that BIG white font stating "All flights"...

As we both have the same issue, you could contact me via Personal Message for additional information or help contacting Turkish Airlines in Turkish.
I would also write the result of my case to this thread when it's completed.

For those interested I am sharing evidence in Turkish that they have changed the terms & conditions without notifying members.

The ticket for TZX/ADA/GZT must have been issued bevore KK changed the rules.
