Qantas Adds Condor as Frequent Flyer Partner

Qantas Frequent Flyer is adding German leisure airline Condor as its latest airline partner, opening up another option for redeeming Qantas Points to Europe.

The airline, known for its unique striped livery (apparently to mimic a beach towel?), has a unique network, mainly focusing on holiday destinations for Europeans.

The partnership is live as of 1 September 2026, with Condor reward seats priced using the Qantas Frequent Flyer Partner Classic Flight Reward table.

The addition should give Qantas Frequent Flyer members another useful alternative when trying to find reward seats to Europe – particularly as Condor Business Class availability can often be relatively good from Asia and the United States.

However, this partnership is restricted to redemptions only – you can’t earn Qantas points on Condor flights at this time.

How Many Points Will You Need?

Condor reward flights will use Qantas’ Partner Classic Flight Reward pricing. A one-way Business Class reward from Bangkok or Phuket to Frankfurt costs 108,000 Qantas Points, plus taxes and carrier charges.

Condor also flies some interesting fifth-freedom routes, such as Bangkok-Abu Dhabi. This will need 73,400 Qantas Points in Business Class. Of course, this also adds another intra-Europe option alongside Qantas’ existing European partners British Airways, Iberia, Finnair, Air France and KLM.

You can also use your points for Premium Economy (long-haul only) and Economy Class.

Finding Business Class reward seats between Australia and Europe can be difficult, so routing through Asia/North America and connecting onto Condor could provide another way to piece together a trip. There are also very minimal carrier charges on Condor flights.

The Condor on-board experience

Condor has significantly upgraded its long-haul fleet in recent years with Airbus A330neo aircraft. These feature fully-flat Business Class seats in a modern 1-2-1 configuration. It’s the same underlying seat product as Business Class on Starlux’s Airbus A330neo.

The front row of Business Class seats on these aircraft also functions as a ‘Business Plus’ experience, with wider footwells and a larger IFE screen for a small upcharge.

Premium Economy is only available on their A330neos. It’s the same seat as Economy, but with more legroom and an upgraded food and beverage service.

On all long-haul flights, you’ll get a meal and drinks, although in Economy alcoholic beverages are extra. 20kg of checked luggage, or one piece, is included in Economy, with extra allowances in Premium Economy and Business Class.

Within Europe, Condor uses Airbus A320-family aircraft, with the familiar European-style Business Class arrangement. The seats themselves are the same as Economy Class, with the middle seat blocked to provide extra space.

Will Condor Join Oneworld?

The new partnership is also interesting in the context of previous reports that Condor could eventually join the Oneworld alliance. Of course, there’s no confirmation that this will happen, and the new Qantas partnership doesn’t necessarily mean that Oneworld membership is imminent.

But, Condor already partners with Oneworld member Alaska Airlines, and has previously spoken about cooperating with American Airlines and more broadly with Oneworld, in order to provide some level of competition to Lufthansa.

Qantas similarly built closer ties with Philippine Airlines before the Philippine carrier subsequently moved towards Oneworld. Adding Condor would give Oneworld a useful additional presence in Germany, while complementing Qantas’ existing European airline partnerships.

But for now, you won’t be able to access lounges based on your Oneworld status when flying Condor, or include Condor in Qantas Oneworld Classic Flight Rewards.
