Turkish Airlines and Oman Air frequent flyer partnership: Travelers can now earn miles across both airlines
Starting August 1, 2025, Oman Air and Turkish Airlines' loyalty members can earn miles across each other's global flight networks/Representative Image Oman Air and Turkish Airlines have officially launched a new Frequent Flyer Programme (FFP) partnership, opening up broader earning opportunities for members of both airlines' loyalty schemes. Starting August 1, 2025, this partnership allows travelers to earn miles across each airline's global network, connecting the Middle East with Europe, Asia, and the Americas. The collaboration integrates Turkish Airlines' Miles&Smiles and Oman Air's Sindbad programs, offering expanded benefits and greater travel flexibility to frequent flyers. The new partnership: What It means As of August 1, 2025, members of Turkish Airlines' Miles&Smiles and Oman Air's Sindbad frequent flyer programs can earn miles on both carriers. This means: Miles&Smiles members can now accumulate miles when flying with Oman Air, including routes to Muscat, Salalah, and Khasab, as well as destinations across Oman Air's wider network. Sindbad members can now earn miles when flying with Turkish Airlines, gaining access to its expansive network across Türkiye, Europe, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and the Americas. This alliance is part of both airlines' broader strategy to offer enhanced loyalty options and seamless travel experiences. It also supports Oman Air's global expansion plans, which include new destinations such as Rome and Amsterdam, increased frequencies on routes like London and Moscow, and strengthened codeshare agreements with other major international airlines. Inside Miles&Smiles: Turkish Airlines' loyalty program Miles&Smiles is Turkish Airlines' loyalty program, serving over 21 million members worldwide. It's built to reward frequent flyers with a range of benefits through mile accumulation and redemption. Key goals of Miles&Smiles: Reward Loyalty: Members earn miles that can be used for flights, upgrades, and services. Expand Global Access: Miles are valid across Turkish Airlines and its growing list of partner airlines, including Oman Air. Improve Travel Perks: Benefits include upgrades, extra baggage, lounge access, and exclusive services. Maximize Flexibility: Miles can be redeemed not only for flights but also for shopping, seat upgrades, hotel bookings, and more. How the Oman Air – Miles&Smiles partnership works Under the new agreement, Miles&Smiles members can earn miles on Oman Air flights. Earning rates depend on fare class, and the process is designed to be automatic and simple. Mile earning rates (based on ticket class): First Class: Earn up to 200% of the flight distance in miles Business Class: Up to 150% Economy Class: From 10% to 100%, depending on fare type Example: A Miles&Smiles member flying Economy (Y class) from Muscat to Istanbul will earn 100% of the actual flight distance in miles. Steps to earn miles on Oman Air flights: Sign up for a free Miles&Smiles account via Turkish Airlines' official website. Book an Oman Air flight under an eligible fare class. Enter your Miles&Smiles number at the time of booking or during check-in. Fly, and the miles will be automatically credited to your account. Eligibility and important considerations To ensure full benefit from the partnership, passengers should be aware of the following terms and limitations: Eligibility requirements: Only flights booked under eligible fare classes are rewarded. Deep-discounted or promotional tickets may not qualify. Award tickets (i.e., free flights obtained using miles) do not earn additional miles. Members must keep their boarding passes and ticket copies until miles are credited. Additional notes: Miles earned are based on the specific fare type, not just whether it's labeled Economy, Business, or First. Retroactive mileage claims are allowed for flights taken in the past 12 months, if not automatically credited. FAQs: Q: Do I need to register separately for this partnership? No. If you're already a Miles&Smiles member, you can start earning miles on Oman Air flights without any extra registration. Q: Can Sindbad members also earn miles on Turkish Airlines flights? Yes. Sindbad members now enjoy reciprocal benefits and can earn miles when flying Turkish Airlines. Q: Will I earn miles on discounted tickets? Not always. Only specific fare classes are eligible. Discounted or promotional fares may not qualify for mileage accrual. Q: How soon will my miles appear after a flight? Miles are usually credited shortly after the flight, but it's advisable to keep your ticket and boarding pass until they appear in your account. Q: Can I use my earned miles for other benefits besides flights? Yes. Miles&Smiles miles can be redeemed for upgrades, extra baggage, seat selection, hotel stays, and shopping depending on the available partner offers.
