Topbonus status holders do enjoy status benefits when flying Etihad, namely lounge access. See here: https://www.airberlin.com/en/site/la...=4&type=etihad.

If OP is hoping to credit miles for this flight to any oneworld program (other than Enrich), topbonus will likely be the only viable option, although their T&C are ambiguous.
