There was a better opportunity few months ago for a status match with AT , you could get matched from any *A or ST ffp to get emerald or sapphire . Then , i guess due to high number or requests , they matched any status only to ruby level
Saw also some other opportunities to jump from skyteam to star alliance by status match within the last year due to covid

I can share the conditions that TK applied to me in May:Dear M maalloc,
Were pleased to inform you that as of May,4th of 2022, the status of your membership TKXXXXXXX has been raised to Elite. Were excited to be able to offer you more benefits and advantages with Miles&Smiles.
There are a few details about your upgrade to Elite that wed like to tell you about:

There are a few details about your upgrade to Elite that wed like to tell you about:
- The first 4 months of your Elite membership is considered as the trial period. Within this period, you are required to realize at least one Turkish Airlines international flight in which you gain miles.
- At the end of the trial period, if your membership account includes at least one Turkish Airlines international flight in which you gained miles, your Elite membership is prolonged for 8 months more.(i.e. it remains valid for 1 year in total after the match).
- If you reach 15,000 Status Miles in the international flights you will perform with Turkish Airlines in the first year of your Elite membership, your membership is extended for 1 more year(i.e. it remains valid for 2 years in total after the match).
- Entry to our private passenger lounges
- An additional baggage allowance of 20 kg on all our flights
- Priority check-in and priority boarding
- Passport control Fast Track
- More Status Miles on your Business Class flights

TP required club membership purchase (99€ minimum) and then 4 TAP flights + 25k miles on any star alliance flights
In comparison the 15K miles TK requires are not super hard to get
How long it took ?

Yes, please. Im AF plat, and SK and TK gold, looking for a status match with any Oneworld programme (I missed the AT offer). So far refused by QR and RJ. To be fair, this would have been 2nd time RJ would have matched me 😆

I first called the hotline where the agent told me TK doesnt do status match with ST.
So I applied through the (super buggy) website, and they got the ball rolling within 2 days. Then it was just a matter of sending them the requested documents.
Now for the fun part: plans changed and I ended up not flying with them so I cant comment on the actual service.

TK service is typically Asian style in that it's great, as long as something out of ordinary doesn't happen. Their IRROPS handling leaves a lot to be desired.

Good. This is brand new. 2 weeks ago, TK was not listed as an eligible airline at the entrance of Paul Maxence lounge.
