United States & Europe – Good news for frequent flyers: JetBlue has just enhanced its partnership with German airline Condor, offering TrueBlue members more ways to earn and redeem points on transatlantic journeys. This upgraded alliance gives travelers new value, flexibility, and access to explore Europe with ease.
Partnership Gets a Boost
JetBlue and Condor have maintained a partnership since 2015, but the latest move takes it further. Effective immediately, TrueBlue members can now both earn and use their loyalty points on Condor flights. This means award travel to Europe, or earning points during your trip, just got easier and more accessible.
Why It Matters for Travelers
Condor is a familiar European leisure carrier with routes into and out of the U.S. Its network connects nine major American cities—including New York, Boston, Miami, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Las Vegas, Portland, and Anchorage—to its Frankfurt hub. From there, travelers can continue to iconic European destinations like Paris, Berlin, Rome, Munich, Prague, Vienna, Milan, and Zurich. With TrueBlue integration, JetBlue members gain seamless access to a huge selection of cities across the continent.
What TrueBlue Members Gain
- Earning Points: Add your TrueBlue number when booking Condor flights through JetBlue’s website or mobile app to accumulate points.
- Using Points: Redeem your points for Condor-operated flights for a rewarding way to reach Europe.
- Easy Access: Book straight from your JetBlue account, no need to juggle separate systems.
- New Destinations: Unlock opportunities to visit European cities that were previously more complex to reach via loyalty routes.
One exciting perk: award flights in business class to Europe are now available at about 54,000 TrueBlue points for one-way travel—an impressive value compared to typical redemptions.
What’s Behind the Move
According to JetBlue’s loyalty leadership, expanding partnerships is key to delivering real value for travelers. Condor’s network opens Europe to TrueBlue members in ways that JetBlue’s own network doesn’t. From Condor’s side, the integration adds a highly attractive frequent flyer option, especially for transatlantic flyers.
There’s also a logistical upside: Condor plans to shift operations into the brand-new Terminal 6 at JFK Airport next year—right next door to JetBlue’s Terminal 5—making connections smoother than ever.
Travel Made Smarter
JetBlue users flying from Northeast hubs like New York or Boston can now integrate Condor flights into their itinerary without fuss. Whether it’s a dream vacation or simply racking up points, TrueBlue members enjoy added convenience and flexibility.
Condor is known for strong in-flight service, modern aircraft, and solid reliability. Combine that with JetBlue’s customer-friendly standards, and the overall travel experience feels both cohesive and comfortable.
Beyond This Partnership
This move reflects a broader trend in airline loyalty programs—expanding benefits beyond one’s own network. It pairs well with JetBlue’s evolving loyalty ecosystem, including its recent travel booking platform upgrades that now include hotels and car rentals.
Meanwhile, the airline landscape continues to shift. Another partnership with United Airlines promises even more earning and redemption options, although that deal is still rolling out.
TrueBlue members, however, face a deadline with another existing partnership—soon-to-end access with Hawaiian Airlines—making Condor’s new integration a timely enhancement to retain and grow loyalty value.
Final Thoughts
This partnership upgrade between JetBlue and Condor marks a win for loyal travelers. It opens up new, cost-effective options to reach Europe while making the loyalty program more appealing and useful. Whether you’re hoping to explore European cities or stretch your points further, this enhanced alliance is set to elevate your travel experience in 2025 and beyond.
