Turkish Airlines ends '6 Continents' challenge early due to high participation

Additionally, the Route: 6 Continents campaign applies only to flights operated by Turkish Airlines. Codeshare services and partner-operated flights are not eligible. Award tickets, corporate agreements, staff fares, and special passenger categories such as student or medical bookings are excluded. Tickets issued with a promo code also do not qualify.

Passengers need to credit flights to their Miles&Smiles account before departure as no retroactive claims will be accepted. Turkish Airlines confirmed this in a statement: "Thank you for the great interest you have shown in our Route: 6 Continents campaign... Members who purchased at least one ticket or completed a flight across six continents by July 8, 2025, will retain their eligibility."

If eligible members complete the challenge, Turkish Airlines will credit one million bonus miles between November 1 and November 15. These miles cannot be used for membership tier upgrades.

Turkish Airlines operates an extensive international network and holds a Guinness World Record for flying to more countries than any other airline. It serves numerous domestic and international destinations across various countries.

The airline is also offering another time-limited promotion targeting travelers from select Balkan markets with low-cost one-way economy class tickets from Ohrid, Skopje, and Pristina to Istanbul.
