I have flown with kthy for the past 2 years and now I am at loss as to which airline to fly with.

I was a frequent flyer with kthy, I got front row seats, an extra 10 kilos of baggage alllowance, and priority checkins.

Which airlines should I try now? It doesn't matter about the airport: Could anyone compare and contrast the frequent flyer programs for pegasus; atlas and thy?

Turkish Airlines have Miles & Smiles reward scheme.



I calculate that six return flights will get you one free on the same route.



Check out the website.

Pixie,



You write that the airport "doesn't matter". For us, it does ... and consequently Pegasus is ideal because they fly to Sabiha Gokcen ... which isn't far from our place in Istanbul - travelling from Ataturk (to the Asian side) at the wrong time can sometimes take 2 hours :-( You seem like a person, who would be more comfortable flying THY ... and THY do fly to Sabiha Gokcen but under the name of Anadolu Jet.

thanx everyone,I am definitely interested in flying with thy.

I am flying out every weekend and the place I go to is of equal distance to both airports, thats why Im interested in the frequent flyer reward scheme...for ticket upgrades or free tickets...
