| |  | Flight Experience
The star of the show is the inflight catering and the lounge in Istanbul. While inflight food can be tough to get right, Turkish is known for doing just that.
For the most privacy, try to find space on a Boeing 787-9 or Airbus A350-900. The business class cabin layouts on these aircraft are 1-2-1 which means a direct aisle access plus a lie-flat seat for everyone.
The business class cabins on the Airbus A330 and Boeing 777 have a 2-2-2 and 2-3-2, respectively. These layouts lack privacy but the seats are comfortable. |
|  | | Lifemiles: Great One-Way Option, No Surcharges
At 69,000 miles one-way + no surcharges, lifemiles provides a great way to book if you have Amex, Capital One, or Citi points whether you need a non-stop, connection within the US, or a connection to somewhere else in Europe.
ANA: Great Round-Trip Award Rate, Reasonable Surcharges
With Amex points, you can't beat 100,000 miles round-trip. Just keep in mind that you can only book round-trip, you'll be on the hook for surcharges, and Amex transfers can take a few days to process.
Aeroplan: Great One-Way Option, No Surcharges, Chase Transfer Bonus
Aeroplan is a solid option at 70,000 points from the east coast and midwest if you have Amex, Bilt, Capital One, or Chase points. If you depart from the west coast or Texas, you'll need 90,000 points. Similarly, connections could bump you up to the 90,000-point rate.
With Chase points, you can transfer with a 20% or 30% bonus. Here’s how many Chase points you’ll need with each bonus: |
| Chase 20% Transfer Bonus ATL, DTW, EWR, IAD, JFK, ORD: 59,000 points DFW, IAH, LAX, SFO: 75,000 points
|
|
| Chase 30% Transfer Bonus ATL, DTW, EWR, IAD, JFK, ORD: 54,000 points DFW, IAH, LAX, SFO: 70,000 points

| If you have the Chase Aeroplan Card, you can also get a 10% bonus when you transfer 50,000+ Chase points. Pairing that with the 30% transfer bonus offer, you’d only need to transfer 50,000 points to get 70,000 Aeroplan points.
Use use GCmap to calculate your total flight distance and double-check Aeroplan's zone-based chart. Stopovers can be included for 5,000 miles on a one-way.
United: From West Coast With Connections & Bilt Points
If you have Bilt points, United has a 2,000-point advantage over Aeroplan at 88,000 miles one-way from the west coast, Texas, or with many connections. You can include a free one-way flight within a region if you book round-trip. |
