Can I give my miles to someone else Turkish Airlines?

You can share your Miles for a fee of USD 20 for every 1,000 Miles, and help your friends and family discover more of the world.



Within the Turkish Airlines Miles&Smiles program, you cannot directly "transfer" your existing miles into another person's account as a gift. However, the program is very flexible regarding how you use them; you can use your miles to issue award tickets for anyone, including friends or family members, by simply entering their name during the booking process on the Turkish Airlines website or app. For those who want to pool miles, the "Family Membership" feature allows the head of the family to consolidate the miles of their spouse and children (under 25) into a single account to reach award thresholds faster. In 2026, while you can "buy" miles for someone else as a gift, the lack of a direct account-to-account transfer for existing miles is a common restriction intended to prevent the secondary market sale of frequent flyer points.
