Earn miles = Status miles?
Hi,
I guess this is a rather ignorant question, but I could not find the answer anywhere even in the FAQ.
But if I understood the program rules, the distance miles earn (based on booking class) is equal to the status miles to retain your status?
Do they also take into account the bonus miles you receive as a Elite/Elite+ member into the calculation of the status miles?
Thanks in advance!
Cheers!

Yes, I believe you are correct. Not based on my actual experience but it says:
"Earn double miles on Turkish Airlines Business Class flights : Elite Card members earn double Status Miles of the actual miles flown on Business Class"
http://www.turkishairlines.com/en-tr...art_elite.aspx
Which is the bonus miles you earn with elite/elite+, so it should be included in the calculation of status miles.

Summary
All,
Just to summarize the info, hope it is correct.
miles obtained (based on booking class) + class of service bonus + elite level bonus = status miles
For example, as an Elite [Gold card]
1) flying on Business with TK between IST-HKG, my status miles
4985 (base miles) +4985 (due to Elite status and Business tix) = 9970 status miles
2) flying economy with LH (Y -bk class) between FRA-HKG, my status miles
5699 (base miles) = 5699 status miles
Is this understanding correct?
Cheers!
