Turkish Airlines Miles and Smiles Returns Report: Deny
From
Asiana Club
To
Turkish Airlines Miles and Smiles
Elite
Emailed TK with copy of Asiana status. Explained I had just bought a business class ticket on TK consisting of 4 flights on TK and two code share flights on Copa. The flight distance was just over 20k miles and the ticket cost about $7000. Explained I wanted to gain status with a different Star Alliance member given Asiana's impending merger with Korean Air and planned exit from Star Alliance.
About three weeks later got response that request was denied.
TK's loss. My travel has gone up a lot in last year and is now predominantly in J and F.
I have realised I will make top tier with SQ and so will just credit all future premium class flights there having requalified for OZ for any economy flights I take in next year or so.
