You got a one way standard award on the outbound for 55K miles and saver award on the return for 30K miles - add up to 85K miles for each ticket. I would look for different outbound one way flight in business for 50K miles each. If you can find flight on Turkish Air and avoid connecting in Frankfurt will save significant taxes and fees too.
