Elite Plus triple miles on Business?
I searched the forum and didn't get a clear answer on this. The TK website says:
Collect double miles on Turkish Airlines Business Class flights .
Elite Plus members earn double Status Miles of the actual miles flown and triple Status Miles of the actual miles flown while traveling on Turkish Airlines.
This, as usual, is quite confusing. Is it double or triple??

It would be interesting to hear from a FT'er who is Elite plus.
In the comparison schema there is no other info than bot E and E+ earns 200%
It may be an copy-paste-edit-error. Many of the texts seems to be copied and then edited. Also, they could have mixed up "status" and "award". It would make some sense if you replace one of the "statuses" with award.

TK mileage accrual (status/flight) has always been:
Elite and Elite Plus members receive double mileage credit on Turkish Airlines Business Class flights.

Yep, "Double" refers to doubling of the base miles, so Elite and Elite Plus get 200% (100% base + 100% Bonus) for Business Class while non Elites get the regular 150% (100% base +50% bonus).
It's not the regular 150% Business Class miles that get doubled which is where the confusion comes from in terms of people thinking it's 300% total.

But no confusion here anymore, as a few FT'ers with elite plus have stated it is wrong.
