Why is Condor deal a bad one? Have never flown them before. Seems like 20K one way USA to Fra is a great price?

let’s start by saying that with most airlines a 25000 miles gives you an European round trip in Y ( value around 200.00 Euros). With 30000.00 miles you can get a long haul upgrade to business class one way.

Maybe not a spectacular deal, but to me at least seems like its a decent way to use otherwise useless Topbonus points. Safe travels!

for 25000 miles you can use JFK-MIA-JFK on Delta,
Aegean/star alliance 30000 Miles gives you a round trip on Y (Europe and North Africa) you can get an upgrade to J between Europe and the Middle East for 25000. Miles
Finnair plus between Finland and North Europe 20000 miles
These are few examples, not tell us if you still think that Condor or Germania are good deals

What is Germania? And I guess Im just happy to have some possibility to redeem. Condor flies to my university in Baltimore, so its a pretty easy route for me.

I am tempted just to try it out next time I fly with OW, otherwise it can still serve as a nostalgia souvenir. ;-)

And only ask them one question at a time!
They answered my first query, but ignored the second.

I know exactly which airline you mean (or maybe there is more than one?).
