I am tempted to use Turkish because their fare is so much lower, but I don't know how much PQP I will earn VS. buying a United Business class ticket.Is the difference in PQP earned so great that it justifies paying almost double for the ticket ? Does anyone know how to calculate these comparable fares.
Help please.
PQP you earn on TK will depend on your fare class and routing and take the award miles divided by 6.

Assuming the fare is a business J fare (and ticketed by TK) and your routing is DEN-ORD-IST-TLV, then you will earn 2,066 PQP (6,197mi x 2 /6) + the UA fare portion for DEN-ORD-DEN flights.
