Condor Business Class Sweet Spot
There’s a sneaky good sweet spot redemption worth sharing today.
You can fly from the Northeast to Frankfurt, Germany on Condor Airlines business class for only 54,000 points and less than $100 in taxes and fees.
Here’s how you would book this through JetBlue:
1️⃣ Search For Availability
Login to Seats.Aero and at the top of the page under “Explore” click “JetBlue TrueBlue.”
Then enter “North America to Europe” and filter by business class.
2️⃣ Find Dates and Flights
The best deals to and from Frankfurt are Boston, New York, and Toronto.
We're are seeing tons of availability from Toronto right now - which is an easy positioning flight from most major Northeast airports.
3️⃣ Know Which Points to Transfer
We recommend using ChaseUR Points or Citi TY Points since they transfer to JetBlue at a 1:1 ratio.
Amex MR Points transfer at a 5:4 ratio - meaning you would need 67,500 points.
Capital One Miles are even worse at a 5:3 ratio - requiring 90,000 miles for the same exact flight.
4️⃣ Calculate CPP Value
We ended up selecting a random date in August for 54,000 points + $66 in taxes and fees.
That flight would have cost $2,780 directly with Condor Airlines.
($2,780 - $66) / 54,000 points = 5.03 CPP
BOO-YAH!
5️⃣ Transfer Points & Book It
You can select seats after booking - and what’s really cool is the 1-2-1 business class setup on the Airbus A330-900neo:
Perfect for couples who want to sit together in the middle - or more privacy for solo passengers at the window seats.
