Turkish Flights to Denver

The flights between Denver and Istanbul will launch in June 2024. This will become the longest flight out of Denver, covering over 6,000 miles in each direction. This route makes it Turkish's 14th destination in the US. The Star Alliance airline also flies to Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Detroit, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, Newark, San Francisco, Seattle, and Washington.

Booking this route with Turkish miles will cost you 65,000 miles one-way in business class and 40,000 miles in economy. Turkish is a transfer partner of Bilt, Citi, and Capital One. But you can also book this flight via other Star Alliance partners such as Air Canada Aeroplan and Avianca LifeMiles.

This new destination seems like a natural fit for Turkish for a few different reasons. Denver is a Star Alliance hub, which is helpful for Star Alliance members like Turkish to carry passengers onwards from Denver to the rest of the US, and vice versa. Denver also doesn't have any service to the Middle East or beyond Western Europe. Given Turkish's already significant footprint across North America, Denver seemed like a logical next option. In fact, I would have expected service to Denver being launched before Detroit, even.
