Turkish Airlines Ends “1 Million Miles” Challenge Early, Unclear Who Still Qualifies

Turkish Airlines Ends “1 Million Miles” Challenge Early

Turkish Airlines ended its 1 Million Miles challenge for flying across 6 continents. The challenge was originally valid for tickets issued and flown between June 27 and October 27, 2025. Now the airline has send mixed message on who can still qualify.

On the Turkish Airlines website you will currently see the following message:

“Thank you for the great interest you have shown in our Route: 6 Continents campaign.

In line with recent updates, the campaign has officially concluded as of July 8, 2025.

Members who purchased at least one ticket or completed a flight across six continents by July 8, 2025 will retain their eligibility. If these members complete their all flights across six continents by October 27, 2025, they will be earned 1 Million Miles.

Tickets purchased after July 8, 2025 will not be considered within the scope of the campaign.”

A previous update read: 

“Members who purchased tickets, completed their flights, or submitted documented visa applications for travel across six continents by this date will retain their eligibility. These members will be awarded 1 Million Miles if they complete their six-continent journeys by October 27, 2025“

So this looks like a big mess.
