What happened
- Earning: Miles are awarded only for flights operated by Condor (flight numbers DE0001-DE2999 and DE4000-DE4499), excluding subsidiary Marabu flights.
- Launch Promotion: A potential launch promotion was planned for March 4 to June 30, 2026, offering Silver status after 5 flights and Gold status after 15 total flights. This specific promotion did not occur as scheduled, but a similar offer may launch in the summer.
- Current Status: Condor confirmed to Travel-Dealz that 'Stripes' is still under review and not yet officially launched, but the existence of detailed terms and conditions suggests the launch is imminent. This development is significant for frequent fliers who previously had to rely on partner programs to earn status or miles on Condor flights
Condor, the German leisure airline, has leaked a concept paper for its new frequent flyer program, tentatively named 'Stripes'. The airline has operated without its own loyalty scheme for decades, relying instead on partnerships with programs like Lufthansa Miles&More and Alaska Mileage Plan. The leaked document, which was briefly available on Condor's website before being removed, outlines the structure of the new program. Key details include: - Status Tiers: The program features Silver and Gold status levels, offering benefits such as priority services, seat reservations, and free baggage allowance.
