Does Turkish Elite Plus give extra baggage on Jet Airways?

I'm an Elite + holder with TK's M+S, and will be flying on a few Jet Airways flights in the next week or two - Jet are listed as one of TK's 3 non-Star Alliance partner airlines on the MS webpages, and so Jet miles can be accrued to an MS account. Does anyone happen to know if the partnership, and maybe the Elite + status, might also mean some additional baggage allowance on Jet flights?

Thanks for any info on this...

No, it's just an earn partnership. 9W will likely not even be able to verify your status in their system. From the M&S website:
Miles&Smiles card privileges are not applicable for Jet Airways flights.

...and to add, AFAIK, those miles that you earn with 9W, are only RDMs. You don't earn status miles on TK for 9W flights. Happy to be proven wrong, though!!

If you can, you should try AI out. They're in *A now, and I think they have a wider network within India than 9W. Plus you get all the *G benefits, all the while earning valuable RDMs and status miles!!
