Detail about tier-benefits
I was just reading this and saw at the bottom, this:
*Please remember: The above stated opportunities apply only on Turkish Airlines scheduled flights.
You may not benefit from the above stated opportunities if the flight is operated by another partner or non-partner airline or combined with another Star Alliance member airline
(The asterisk didn't refer to anything). Does anyone know if they mean this? All the benefits have to be given Star Alliance-wide.

Welcome to FT and the TK forum sliiide
What TK mean here is that mileage earning, awards, extra baggage for Classic Plus etc. only apply to TK operated flights. The normal Star Alliance rules for Silver and Gold still apply.

Cheers!
Thanks for the reply. I also realised what they meant after I posted.
As for the normal star alliance rules for silver and gold - i presume that those always apply in full to every star alliance silver and gold card across the network and that it would take a decision from the alliance as a whole to alter them? That airlines can only individually modify things that they additionally provide to their own silver and gold members as TK is saying here.

do you know what the case is as far as the "CIP Private Lounges" in the link I posted go? I presume that they aren't included as they have the *G logo on them and any card with the *G logo should get you access.

I have searched all over TK website and this whole M&S FT forum group, but can't find the answer.
Last week, I was booked in a moderately low fared Economy transatlantic flight on Swiss, but received a comp. upgrade at the gate to Business: "C"
I know that from past experiences with other Star carriers, an upgrade to C usually entitles one to increased earning; eg, for TK 150% of miles flown
I received only 50%... Should I send in the Boarding Pass to TK and ask for 150%?
Thanks.
