Turkish Airlines Miles&Smiles Student Program offers flight discounts and bonus miles

 
Turkish Airlines Miles&Smiles
has a special program for students (both
in Turkey & abroad) that provides discounts on Turkish Airlines
flights, bonus Miles&Smiles miles and more. The program doesn’t
state what level of student you have to be, I would assume college or
university but who knows maybe high school and even lower grades of
students can join as well. You have to upload proof of being a student
like a student card or other document if you are not a Turkish citizen
or not studying in Turkey. With Turkish Airlines flying to and from Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver, Canadian students should take note of this program!

Here is what the student program provides:

Discounts

20% off domestic flights, up to 10% off international flights and special prices on international one-way flights

Baggage Allowance

40 kg on international flights (2*23 kg on flights implementing Piece
Concept), advantageous excess baggage fees on domestic flights.

Free Ticket Change

One-time free ticket change right for international flights (fare
difference is applied if the new ticket is purchased for a different
fare class).

Miles&Smiles welcome bonus

An extra 1000 Miles for new memberships and 2000 Miles in total

Bonus miles on flights

25% more Miles to be earned from all flights by the end of 2022
