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.
