Southwest Partners with Condor
Southwest Airlines is expanding its global reach with a newly announced partnership with Condor, the German carrier known for serving nearly 70 destinations throughout Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Americas from its Frankfurt hub.
Under the agreement, Southwest will provide domestic connecting service for Condor travelers on single-ticket itineraries through several major U.S. gateways. That includes Boston, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Portland, San Francisco, and Seattle.
The joint travel options officially launch on January 19, 2026, and can already be booked via Condor, travel agencies, or major third-party travel sites. Southwest expects to offer direct booking, and potentially Rapid Rewards redemption, sometime next year.
“Welcoming Condor into our partner network opens up dozens of new transatlantic possibilities for U.S. travelers,” said Andrew Watterson, Chief Operating Officer at Southwest Airlines. “Just in Las Vegas alone, connecting to our network gives international visitors access to more than 270 daily departures and nonstop service to over 70 destinations. Our partnerships highlight the hospitality of our employees and the growing range of travel opportunities we can offer customers around the world.”
With this latest addition, Southwest now collaborates with five international carriers. That’s two European partners (Condor and Icelandair), and three Asian (China Airlines, EVA Air, Philippine Airlines).
Partner inventory? Pricing? For any of these partnerships, these will be the key questions.
