Do TopBonmus poinmts transfer over to AirBerlin as the flights are booked (months in advance) or a week before the flight date ? or on the flight date ? or after the flights have been taken ?
Within a couple of days of you booking the award flight, the loyalty programs pays for the tickets - in cash - at whatever their agreement states the tickets are worth. TopBonus needs to get real money back from AirBerlin, which given it's bankrupt is unlikely. They'll be an unsecured creditor, quite far down the pecking order.
