FRECCIA ALATA vs. FRECCIA ALATA PLUS
My question is as follows: other than the 50/100% bonus miles, what is the difference between FRECCIA ALATA & FRECCIA ALATA PLUS?

One business return on AZ marketing ICN-AUH-FCO-EZE will bring you renewal of Freccia Alata Plus. Currently on offer for £1800. Net 83000 qualifying miles and about 104000 miles including the bonus for status.

How would you earn 83K in just one J r/t? According to my calculations it should give you around 30K without bonus tops... what am I missing?

Alitalia long-haul business flights earn at 300% in MM. Therefore, the above itinerary should earn 83250 miles if booked as AZ-marketed flights.

ICN-AUH-FCO-EZE is 13875 miles according to GCMap. Return is therefore 27750 flown miles.

I forgot to multiply the miles by 3... BTW the Alitalia website has a glitch, it says under "miles earned" the actual miles flown and not miles earned (X3).
