Status customers - topbonus matches all its competitor programs

Frequent fliers in a different mileage bonus programme transferring to topbonus can retain their status by carrying out a "status match". This means any frequent flier who decides to carry out a status match can benefit from the corresponding benefits without having to first painstakingly earn them. With 25,000 miles or 24 flights, topbonus members receive Silver status. For the same status, they would require 35,000 miles or 30 flights with airberlin's main German competitor, for example
