Turkish Airlines has just put its newest route to the United States on sale, and it’s a pretty exciting one, in my opinion.

There are a number of international development organizations in Seattle that fly to a lot of different small African countries. I wouldn't be surprised if the TK flight is popular with those as it could significantly reduce travel time to what has previous been a multiple stop trip.
I don’t think there’s a “big three” gulf carriers anymore. Etihad has shrunk massively and has admitted they don’t want to cater to connecting traffic anymore. The competition now is between Qatar and Emirates, with Turkish slowly assuming the role of the third.
I am wondering when Denver will receive Turkish service?
United is growing its Denver hub by leaps and bounds. Munich just added -so perhaps soon...
TK announced flights to Denver last summer when they announced flights to Dallas. Does anyone have any updates on that?
Finally - and more importantly - they're flying the 787 so we get the newer biz seats so no more locator flights. Hopefully Avianca will see the award space & make it easy to switch my flights.
Also, since you mentioned AC & AV being the easiest & good value to redeem. Yes, they are. However, they're also the most difficult & costly to make changes.
I'm able to find the award flights back from IST to SEA but not the flight from SEA to IST. Anyone have any luck?
Returning from Italy this summer, I started with MXP-MUC-DEN-SEA. With a night at HIX MXP to make the noon flight and only the MUC-DEN leg in J.
Then Finnair started flying to SEA and I booked MXP-HEL-SEA (all J) with a night at HI Helsinki and half a day of site seeing in Helsinki.
Now there's the option to change to BLQ(Bologna)-IST-SEA (all J) with a free hotel night from Turkish Airlines and an evening in Istanbul.
Hmmm, I'm tempted, but for the $50x2 Turkish visa fee to get a "free" hotel on layover. I do want to check out that new airport though.
Yeah, I've been waiting for this, too. I reached out to TK and DEN recently on social media to see if they'd tease anything and only got back generic replies. You'd think they'd do it for the summer travel season meaning they'd have to go on sale soon. I wonder what the hold up would be given the likely connecting traffic.
@Lucky, where are you seeing all the availability. It is not showing up on Aeroplan, Lifemiles, or MileagePlus. Thanks
With all the international additions, SEA needs a serious international-caliber lounge product. The offerings in the South Satellite are basic at best.
The best news is now one trip, no transit, and I don’t have to go to Qatar and wait a long time and then to Turkey
We are very excited to hear about it as well. Is that the most up to date flight path? It’s still showing it flies over Belarus and Ukraine.
Can anyone tell me how seats are arranged on the business class? I have difficulty booking seats w my young daughter next to each other in the middle section, where two seats seem to be next to each other...
