I see benefits in attaining *A Gold quicker (and keeping for longer) with Turkish, but Lufthansa offer a higher points earn for J class Intl travel. Any feedback on redeeming miles on *A partners withTurkish?

Is either more efficient/easy than the other? Any major pitfalls or benefits to consider?

Many thanks!
With clever planning you could get Elite+ with 3 Australia-Europe RT's which is TK's highest tier. With TK you also earn 100% of the miles flown even with the cheapest Y tickets.
