Turkish Miles&Smiles business class LAX-SGN opens at 275K, 2.2 cpp
As of June 23, 2026, Turkish Miles&Smiles had three business-class seats available on LAX-SGN for July 25 at 275,000 miles per ticket, pricing out to 2.2 cents per mile against a $6,000 cash comparable.
Turkish Miles&Smiles released business-class award inventory on the Los Angeles to Ho Chi Minh City route for late July, offering a rare long-haul redemption at a sub-3 cpp rate.
The snapshot
| Route | Date | Points | Taxes & fees | Est. cash | cpp |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| LAX-SGN | 2026-07-25 | 275,000 | not reported | $6,000 | 2.2 |
Turkish Miles&Smiles prices business-class redemptions to Asia at 275,000 miles on their standard award chart, according to the program's official rate table.
Why it's worth it
Long-haul business-class awards to Southeast Asia routinely clear 3 cpp or higher when priced against cash tickets in the $7,000-$9,000 range. A 2.2 cpp redemption on a 16-hour LAX-SGN routing is a strong outlier, especially from a relatively scarce midpoint like Turkish. The three-seat cap means the window is narrow, but the rate justifies moving quickly if your dates align with July 25.
Turkish's business product includes direct aisle access, lie-flat seating, and a full bar service on long-haul flights. The airline operates this route via Istanbul, so you'll connect through one of Europe's busiest hubs, but the redemption value is tied to the final LAX-SGN leg, not the routing complexity.
How to book
Citi ThankYou Points, Capital One Miles, Bilt Rewards, and Rove Miles all transfer to Turkish Miles&Smiles at a 1:1 ratio. Turkish's award search tool accepts one-way bookings, so you can price this leg independently. Verify current availability on the Points Radar calculator or directly on the Turkish Miles&Smiles website before transferring any points.
