Earning miles on AZ / Freccia Alata Plus bonus

As I couldn't find a master thread, here my question:

AZ matched my TK Elite+ status to Freccia Alata Plus.

AZ offers an attractive Business Class fare between Istanbul and Buenos Aires.

7,794 (one way miles) * 300% (cabin bonus) * 2(return flight) = 46,764 miles.

According to the website I'll get 100% bonus as Freccia Alata Plus member.

Are the bonus miles also status miles?

One round trip Business Class Ticket between Istanbul and Buenos Aires will yield 93.528 miles, is this correct?

1- bonus miles are not status miles
2- ~7k miles *3 (J) *2 (return) makes ~42k status miles
3- the 100% non status miles refers to the basic miles, so ~7k - in total you make ~42k status and ~7k non status

hth
cheers

Thank you.

That's still plenty of miles.

yes, 42k qual means you are just a step away from requalifying CFA for the following year too.

I just purchased the ticket to EZE in "I" class.

My last time on AZ was in 1999 between BKK and MXP with a fuel stop in ATH on a B742.

The product on the 772 looks solid and the status match, plus generous miles were just too tempting. Also, TK's flight to EZE stops in GRU both ways, which is a real PITA.

AZ J in the air in top notch (longhaul)
You won t regret
1-2-1 config - great seats, good food and ok IFE make a very decent J product on par with best out there. Personally prefer CX but a few yrs back CX and AZ wouldn't even be in the same scentence
