Surprised they have switched the 767s to streaming. Did they remove all the screens?

Been a couple of years, but if I recall, I remember our departing flights posting within a few days. Our return flights didnt post and I emailed after waiting a couple of weeks. Once I emailed, they showed up within a couple of days.

Did a search but wanted to double check that it is not possible to use AS miles to book DE on intra-European flights? The website doesn't pull anything, and the award chart doesn't show anything either.

shows only Aer Lingus and Finnair for Europe to Europe. Maybe BA and Iberia will get added with more OneWorld integration?

Has anyone flown Condor in economy recently? The three economy classes for mileage accumulation on AS don't align with the sale categories anymore. Condor sells "Economy Light;" "Economy Class" while the mileage earnings on AS are Economy Base (50%), Economy Promotion (75%), and Economy Flex (100%). The difference between 50% and 75% accumulation could make or break MVP Gold so I'm trying to figure out if Economy maps at least to Economy Promotion or if I need to buy premium economy.

I am looking forward to seeing what Condor will do with their new A330neos.

DE just loaded their A332 flights FRA-SEA, (ex-EY birds) and what appears to be their 2022 summer schedule. Enjoy the J award space to Europe, kids. Also, be sure to moan loudly about how AS is devaluing, that way it will last a little longer.

What we get this year is the old EY product, which from the review Lucky links to seems… perfectly cromulent as a lie-flat for 10 hours to or from Europe, nothing amazing but an improvement over aged 763 recliners?

With the move to the old EY 330's (and soon to be A339 neos), is Condor now the preferred way to hop across the Atlantic using miles? Managed to snag 2 J awards for SEA-FRA in July. Cheaper than AA, and actually has space available!

Condor is great if you are going to FRA but from there you are pretty much on your own if you want to connect anywhere (at least on an award).

Agreed. A few times I did get a rental car in FRA in order to drive to the Netherlands and Scandinavia. At the time rental cars were significantly cheaper in Germany so it worked out as long as you're going on a longer trip.
