I suppose you can't use Plat benifits because TK being non-OW partner, however, can you use *G benifits ?
That's why I avoid cross-alliance codeshares - you never know what you get, sometimes even nothing, like the infamous cheap Chinese codeshares on AY metal to PEK in years gone.
On TK I think there might be issues with land-based privileges (priority checking, security, lounge), even if you have both OWE and *G. This is just a gut feeling, never tried this route on AY code. On board you get exactly the same as *G or OWE or plain vanilla traveller. I haven't received anything "extra" on TK even when flying as TK Elite.
