JetBlue Expands Condor Partnership, Adds Loyalty Benefits

JetBlue and Condor have had a partnership for roughly a decade, though the benefits haven’t been very lucrative. Now, that is changing as the two airlines have announced an expansion of their partnership, introducing loyalty program earnings for the first time.

JetBlue TrueBlue Members Can Now Earn and Redeem Miles on Condor

Beginning August 26, 2025, JetBlue TrueBlue members can now earn and redeem points on flights operated by Condor. This becomes the second U.S. based loyalty program where passengers can earn miles on Condor flights after Atmos Rewards, formerly known as Alaska Mileage Plan.

Points will be earned based on the cabin in which they fly (Business, Premium Economy, or Economy) as well as the Condor flight number tied to their flight(s). Note that Condor has three different Economy products (Flex, Base, and Discount) with earnings differing on each.

Edward Pouthier, Vice President of Loyalty and Personalization at JetBlue, said this about the increased partnership:

“Expanding our loyalty partnerships is a key part of how we deliver greater value to our customers. Through our collaboration with Condor, TrueBlue members now have more ways to turn their loyalty into meaningful travel experiences. We’re proud to continue growing the TrueBlue program in ways that meet the needs of today’s traveler by offering access to a wider range of destinations around the world.”

David Carlisle, Vice President of Network Planning & Partnerships at Condor, added:

“After a decade of successful partnership, we’re excited to further deepen our collaboration with JetBlue. Integrating Condor flights into the TrueBlue program adds meaningful value for our guests by offering another attractive frequent flyer option — one that complements our existing partnerships and is especially relevant for transatlantic travelers. At the same time, our European network is becoming even more accessible and appealing to TrueBlue members. We are also looking forward to physically moving closer to JetBlue when Condor moves into the brand-new Terminal 6 at JFK next year – right next to JetBlue’s Terminal 5.”

With the change, JetBlue TrueBlue members can now shop for Condor flights, including eligible reward flights, via jetblue.com or the JetBlue mobile app. I’ve seen reports online showing one-way Business Class fares between the United States and Europe for as low as 54,000 points, so this could potentially be a great deal if you have a stash of TrueBlue points to burn.

Condor currently serves nine destinations in the United States with nonstop service from its hub in Frankfurt (FRA): New York (JFK), Boston (BOS), Miami (MIA), Los Angeles (LAX), San Francisco (SFO), Seattle (SEA), Las Vegas (LAS), Portland (PDX) and Anchorage (ANC).

This is the second major partnership update for JetBlue this year, after announcing its Blue Sky agreement with United Airlines.

Summary

For the first time since their partnership began in 2015, JetBlue TrueBlue members can earn and redeem points on flights operated by Condor. This expanded partnership will open up many more destinations in Europe to TrueBlue members.
