Heads up, deal hunters! That ridiculously cheap United Airlines flight to Hawaii using Turkish Miles&Smiles? Yeah, it's gone. Kaput. Until recently, you could snag a one-way ticket for just 10,000 miles, making that dream vacation seriously affordable. Now, brace yourself: those same flights start at 25,000 miles each way. That's a massive jump, making it significantly harder to score a cheap Hawaiian getaway using points. And if you were eyeing a business or first-class splurge, prepare for an even bigger blow to your mileage balance. Why should you care? Well, if you were planning a trip to paradise using Miles&Smiles, it's time to rethink your strategy. This devaluation (a decrease in the value of your points) highlights the importance of booking those sweet spot awards *quickly* when you find them because airlines can change the rules at any time without notice. It also means diversifying your points portfolio so you aren't reliant on one program for your dream trip.
