Turkish Airlines Miles&Smiles status tiers

Miles&Smiles status is earned on status miles over a 12-month period on Turkish Airlines and Star Alliance carriers, with a two-year validity once earned. Turkish is a Star Alliance member, so Elite and Elite Plus are Star Alliance Gold. Confirm current thresholds on turkishairlines.com.
