I love earning points and miles, but I also appreciate a fun challenge. That’s why I’m happy that multiple airlines have recently jumped on a trend to launch big promotions that can also come with big earnings.
I’m currently in Europe and need to visit Brazil for an event and then Seattle for work. So, two multicity round-trip itineraries — one to Brazil (South America) returning to Greece (Europe), and another to Seattle (North America) returning to Amman, Jordan (Asia) — will get me four continents. Plus, I’ll get to enjoy multiple overnight layovers along the way in one of my favorite cities, Istanbul (pictured above).
Then, I’ll need just two more continents: Africa and Australia. I had planned to pick up these two continents with flights to Egypt and Australia before the promotion was set to end Oct. 27, but was able to book them yesterday.
Our July 2025 valuations peg the value of 1 million Turkish miles at $12,000. However, even if I don’t maximize the miles, I should still get enough value to justify the cost I paid for the flights.
If the JetBlue and Turkish promotions aren’t for you, here are some stories that might help as you plan your own upcoming travel:
