I am a new A3 Gold now.....

thanks for your ideas
Yes:
  • TK redemption on capacity limited seats are much, much lower for J than with A3.
  • TK allows companion redemption at reduced miles (also for capacity limited)
  • TK allows family pooling of miles on one card
  • TK generally earns miles quicker than A3 on *A partners
  • All TK Y flights earn 100% miles
  • With elite status, you will earn an [i]additional[i] double miles on all J flights on TK metal
  • which in combination with TK's awesome Network (if you live in EU and want to go East or Far East) means quicker free flights
  • TK his backed by the government, and due to the booming economy in Turkey, TK is currently on a slurge to rapidly expand, so routing will improve even more
