JetBlue and Condor Boost Their Loyalty Exchange

JetBlue’s not one to join the big clique of airline alliances, oh no. Instead, it’s all about those one-on-one partnerships with different airlines. Some are just scratching the surface with interline agreements, but others, like this one, dive deeper into loyalty exchanges.

So JetBlue’s been cozying up to Condor for about a decade. But now, just to keep things spicy, they’ve taken things to a whole new level, rolling out some serious loyalty benefits. And for TrueBlue’s most faithful flyers, this is where the story really gets good. Let’s unpack this, shall we?

Redeeming JetBlue TrueBlue Points on Condor? Absolutely!

Without further ado, you can now cash in those JetBlue TrueBlue points to fly with Condor, the runner-up to Lufthansa in the long-haul scene. Condor’s got the sleek Airbus A330-900neos rocking the long haul routes, and they don’t skimp on the biz-class flair. Here’s the lowdown on how you can make this all yours:

• Book these rewards directly on JetBlue’s site by clicking that nifty “use TrueBlue points” button on the homepage.
• You can jet off across Condor’s entire route map, whether it’s a quick jaunt or ocean-hopping across the Atlantic.
• Say goodbye to those pesky carrier imposed surcharges—they won’t show up here.
• Your choices? Go big in business class, keep it comfy in premium economy, or stick to classic economy.
• No rigid award chart in sight! Pricing flexes with zones and segments, so yes, more stops might mean more points.

Price tag? Expect a one-way jump across the Atlantic to set you back 19,000 points if you’re flying economy, or 54,000 for those who like a little extra legroom in business class.

This is one sweet way to use those TrueBlue points. Why? Because compared to redeeming them directly on JetBlue where it’s all revenue-based, here you might just find a better bang for your buck.

JetBlue TrueBlue now joins the shortlist of Condor’s US redemption pals. Condor also takes Atmos Rewards points, for those who are, shall we say, inclined. And, if you fancy, TrueBlue’s other pals include the likes of Japan Airlines and Qatar Airways.

Earning JetBlue TrueBlue Points with Condor Just Got Real

Points redemption? Check. Now here comes the fun part: racking up more points while you’re up in the clouds with Condor. Here’s the straightforward guide on how the points stack up:

We all know determining points in a revenue-based frequent flyer program can twist your brain into a pretzel, especially when it includes distances flown with partner airlines.

Would I rather earn Atmos Rewards on Condor hops? Maybe. But for you East Coasters, JetBlue TrueBlue might just be where the magic happens.

The Bottom Line

JetBlue and Condor have rolled out the loyalty red carpet, allowing JetBlue TrueBlue frequent flyers to both earn and burn points on trips with Condor. In this US partnership tango, JetBlue joins Alaska, offering more ways to earn, burn, and yearn for more travel points. Options are the spice of travel loyalty programs, so this update’s got a thumbs up from me.

So, what’s your take on the Jazzed Up JetBlue & Condor partnership?
