Condor's Business Class lie-flat seating is actually not half bad and I was pleasantly surprised with the product. However finding award space for Condor Business seems near impossible. Plenty of Premium Economy at 45,000 one-way which is a terrible use of miles for what is essentially a regular econo seat with more legroom, when you consider that Business flat beds are just 10k more (if you can ever find any).

Waited until a couple of weeks ago to see if AY would be bookable "later this fall", but ended up booking a milk-run itinerary on AS/AA to Europe for next spring. Still have about 6 weeks to change for free if AY should end up opening up for award booking and have space for my date range.
