How can I transfer my Turkish Airlines miles?

Miles can only be transferred via the Turkish Airlines website and mobile app. Miles which have been transferred are subject to the Miles&Smiles program terms and conditions. Transferred Miles will be immediately credited to the recipient's account.



In 2026, you can transfer your Miles&Smiles miles to another person through the Turkish Airlines website or mobile app. This process is known as "Miles Transfer" and is subject to several conditions. First, you can only transfer miles to another Miles&Smiles member, and both accounts must be active. There is a transaction fee for transferring miles, which is typically around $20 for every 1,000 miles transferred, and this fee is non-refundable. You can transfer a maximum of 50,000 miles per calendar year. To complete the transfer, log into your account, navigate to the "Miles Transactions" section, and select the "Transfer Miles" option. You'll need to enter the recipient's membership number and the amount of miles you wish to send. This is a popular option in 2026 for families or groups who want to pool their miles together to reach the threshold for an award ticket or a business class upgrade on a long-haul flight.
