What happened
Turkish Airlines has announced an extension of Miles&Smiles membership tiers for select members due to the ongoing situation around the Gulf. The extension, marked as "Elite Plus Status Protection Enabled," applies to members whose status was due for renewal, such as those in Kuwait. This policy change is a response to significant air traffic disruptions caused by the Gulf war, allowing affected frequent flyers to maintain their elite benefits without meeting standard qualification criteria during the disruption period
