hi. thanks to the status match i'm a new tk elite member. i already booked a business class flight from waw over ist to kul and return december13/january14. great circle mapper say these are in total 12127 miles. if i look here elite members should earn 200% for business class flights, even booked in class j. so will i get 24254 miles in total for that flight? minimum miles should be 1000 for a international business class flight, waw ist is just 857 miles. will i get 200% on the 857 miles or on 1000 miles?
requalification rules say "Members residing out of Turkey need to collect 25.000 Status Miles either within the first year or 37.500 Status Miles within 2 years of the Elite membership." so it would be very easy to get these 25000 miles within the first year (if its not a calender year, so just 12 month after the upgrade, which i guess). for now my elite membership is valid till april 2015, if i collect the necessary miles till january 2014, how long will it extend my membership? Till 2016, 2017?
