A nice find and very good price IMO.
You have to be ok with flying in the opposite direction for a few hours - some people are a bit funny with that.

In general since TK J is only 100% on UA Mileageplus I usually find that flying UA/LH/LX/AC usually offers better value as you get 200% PQMs in J, even when fares are slightly higher.

agree, but not when it's twice the price... I ended up paying 1052 EUR

But the TK flights typically have very long connect times in IST (over 15 hours). I have found TK flights with shorter connections but the availability at that 1050 EUR fare really drops.

I just checked on this fare and on the days I see the TK 1050 EUR fares. the other *A fares are around 1700 EUR.

That is certainly one thing I find frustrating about Star Alliance. Many business class fares earn only 100% or less.... sometimes even 0% on partners.

Not sure you are correct on that one. I am no UA collector, but I thought most business class fares on Lufthansa ("P" fares) earn only 100% on UA.
