JetBlue Expands Condor Partnership
JetBlue and Condor Airlines are expanding their partnership, allowing travelers to redeem TrueBlue points on Condor flights. You'll also be able to earn TrueBlue points when flying Condor, and vice versa. JetBlue isn't a part of any major airline alliance, but the airline does partner with several carriers. And it's been on a tear recently adding new partnerships like its recently announced agreement with United, and expanding others.
Opening Up Condor Flight Award Bookings
Critically, the expansion of the JetBlue-Condor partnership means there's now a way to book flights on the German carrier with transferrable credit card points like American Express Membership Rewards, Capital One miles, Chase Ultimate Rewards, and Citi ThankYou points. Better yet, JetBlue's award rates are competitive, if not better, than booking through another of Condor's partners like Alaska Airlines.
Book Condor Flights From 19K Points In Economy, 54K In Business
You can now redeem JetBlue points for Condor economy, premium economy, or business seats. Condor currently flies nonstop between the following U.S. and Canadian gateways and its hub in Frankfurt (FRA). Plus, you can connect onwards to dozens of destinations throughout Europe.
- New York (JFK)
- Boston (BOS)
- Miami (MIA)
- Los Angeles (LAX)
- San Francisco (SFO)
- Seattle (SEA)
- Las Vegas (LAS)
- Portland (PDX)
- Anchorage (ANC)
- Toronto (YYZ)
- Vancouver (YVR)
- Calgary (YYC)
The best award rates are flying from the East Coast. You can book Condor economy flights for just 19,000 points one-way and premium economy for 34,000 points with reasonable taxes and fees.
But what's even more exciting is that JetBlue charges just 54,000 points each way for Condor business class.
Previously, Alaska Atmos points had been one of the best ways to book Condor flights for less. JetBlue now has the slight edge. Plus, JetBlue points are easier to earn if you have transferrable credit card points.
Want to connect onward to another destination in Europe? Award rates are slightly higher at 29,900 points for economy and 68,900 points business class.
From the West Coast, you'll pay slightly more. Economy award flights cost 39,000 points, while business class will run you a whopping 99,900 points.
