Fixed region chart (one of the last); separate Star Alliance chart and TK-operated chart. Unannounced changes common (Dec 2025 same-country partner hike). Stopover allowed on round-trip TK awards (phone only); no stopovers on one-ways; open-jaws OK. Partner awards often require phone booking; online search shows few partners. Miles from transfers can be slow. Unconfirmed: Star Alliance US-Europe business: 90k (AwardFares + Meilenoptimieren, 2026) vs 45k (AwardLocker). Possible that some sources list round-trip vs one-way. Verify before transferring.
