Had scouted for a return ticket for a relative from BER-BOM route.
Out of all options,
1. United was around 63-66K points but cash is lower at around 13K (but it is 2 stop)
2. Qatar- 55K points plus 23K cash (1 stop via DOH).
3. Sin (Krisflyer)- unreliable and very few Star Alilance options (mostly polish air). Singapore air options are prohibitive at 106K points +taxes
4. Aeroplan- one leg has to be in North America - so no options
5. Turkish - 49K + 23K cash for Turkish
6. Turkish (Star Alliance) - 38K + 11K cash but no option from BER. Starts from FRA via DEL.

Last option was cheaper but misses a leg BER-FRA. That is a bit hassle. So went for option 5 (closer to option 2). Called up the number and it took sometime 45 minutes to book both the legs. If you try to book as return then points requirement goes up to 60K. Paid via credit card over call.

Now Only catch is that I need to validate the credit card in their offices. They rarely asks for but would like to avoid any issue during boarding and hence planning to visit the local reservation office and get the credit card validated.

Yes better to keep card validated
Good that u opted the 5th one
But 1 is wise if it’s round trip and subject to pax age since 2 hops maybe

2 hops is a bit on the higher side for 9-10 hrs. Unless the cost benefit is too huge. Plus availability of Lufthansa is near nil though they have direct flights to Mumbai. It is mostly first fly to FRA and then hop into LH/Vistara for BOM via DEL.
Single hop is fine as there is no direct anyway. Plus Qatar and Turkish are a bit a preferred airline. Availability on Qatar and Turkish is almost always available.

Hello Everyone,

I am looking to book a Turkish award ticket from Mumbai to Barcelona but I have all the miles point in my wife's account and I will be only traveling. Is it possible to book the flight in my name from my wife's account?

Search for the flights and keep the details ready.
Call 0008000501565 from your mobile and share the details. They will guide you. A bit tedious but worth the effort . It takes 30-45 minutes to complete the txn.

Thank you so much. I will follow the procedure.

Just for my knowledge do you know if online booking will work or not? This is the first time I am booking a flight from turkish miles.

Online booking not possible for tickets when member is not travelling. Hence only option is to call the CC and seek the help for booking.

 

[dj2006]

Are you not able to transfer miles to another account? I do not still have miles credited so can't test it.

I didn't try doing this but I saw there was an option. did it work for you? if yes, I can move those miles to my account from my wife's account and do the booking.
