Cost of paying taxes with miles for Elite members on redemption tickets
Hi everybody, could some elite member of Miles and Smiles give me an idea of the number of miles TK is asking to pay for the taxes attached to a redemption ticket (J promo ticket, tax amount is 215 USD) ?
Thanks a lot.
Thanks a lot.

Try to do a dummy booking, at the payment site you would see the answer for your question.

Thanks ISTFlyer, I cannot simulate the payment of taxes with miles because i m not Elite member, BUT i found the info on TK website 1000 miles for 25TL (about 3 €) worth of taxes, absolutely not interesting, total rip off.

Paying taxes with miles is ALWAYS a rip off. I've yet to hear of an airline where it wasn't...
