Star Gold?

I’m thinking of flying from DUB-JNB early next year in business and the 2 cheapest airlines are ET via ADD & TK via IST. Will either of these routes get me to Star Gold with any Star Alliance program?

Depends on your fare class. Pretty easy to find out if you look here ...

It’s about 6.5K Miles each way. 13K RT.
So your only option is with A3 FFP where you would need an ET biz ticket but not in P class and to add at least additional 4 A3 legs.

without any status on TK's FFP you will earn in the lower Biz-fares 17442 miles. You will need 40k miles for *A Gold.

For ET FFP I am not sure how much miles you will earn, but you have to earn 50k miles for the same tier.

*G with one relatively short return in Business Class? Every lounge in the world would overflow if that were possible.

Aegean probably offers the fastest route to *G, but you'll need to subsequently visit Greece to do a few flights on A3 metal.
