Fly Turkish Airlines Business Class to Istanbul From 65,000 Miles: 44 Dates From Washington Dulles!

Turkish Airlines business class to Istanbul with Miles&Smiles: 65,000 miles one way per person, nonstop (Seats.aero, October 24, 2026). That's Turkish's usual price for this route, not a sale; what stands out is how many dates have 2 seats.

Washington Dulles to Istanbul (TK188 and TK8), 2 seats each, 44 dates in 2027:
- January: 13, 19, 21-25, 29-31
- February: 1-6, 8, 9, 11-17, 19-23, 25-28
- March: 4, 5, 26, 29, 30
- April: 1, 7, 8, 11, 22
On dates with both flights, the seats are on two separate planes, so don't count them together.

Other cities, same 65,000 miles:

The seat: pick the Boeing 787-9 when you can. It has a 1-2-1 layout, so every seat has aisle access. The 777-300ER is lie-flat too, but 2-3-2, so window and middle seats have to climb past someone. Check the seat map before you book.

How to book:
1. Sign in at turkishairlines.com and choose to book with miles.
2. Search one way to Istanbul on one of the dates above and pick Business.
