|  | | Flight Experience
Condor's new A330-900neo has a staggered 1-2-1 business class cabin layout. Every seat is lief-flat and has direct aisle access.
I haven't flown this product yet, but reviews suggest that the entire experience is quite impressive from food to amenities to entertainment options.
Upgrade To A Prime Seat
For an even better experience, you can pay just over $200 to select one of the four first row seats. These seats have more space, the bed is bigger, and you have an ottoman rather than a footwell. Basically, you have a lot more space.
On top of that, you get PJs, a nicer amenity kit, a snack basket, free text messaging, and a larger IFE screen. |
| Best Ways To Book
Alaska: Best Award Rate + Amex/Hawaiian Transfer
Alaska miles aren’t the easiest to earn, but you can transfer Bilt points and Amex points via Hawaiian so that helps. With one-way rates of 55,000 and 70,000 miles, depending on the route, this is the best option.
Emirates: More Miles, Easier To Earn
Emirates provides a decent option from the east coast at 77,500 miles one-way if you have Capital One, Chase, or Citi points. Since it's easy to earn Emirates miles, you might prefer this option so you can save Alaska miles for other flights. |
|  | How To Search
Search with Alaska: If you want to book a one-way, check "One-way" Check "Use miles" Enter your origin & destination Select your dates Select number of passengers Run the search Complete the booking
If award space doesn't display on the Emirates site, call to book (800-777-3999).
Happy booking! |
