Southwest loyalists, get ready to dust off your lederhosen! Southwest just announced a partnership with Condor Airlines, meaning you'll soon be able to redeem your Rapid Rewards points for flights to Europe, specifically Frankfurt. This is Southwest's fifth international airline partner, signaling their continued expansion and giving you more options for using those hard-earned points.

This is big news for anyone sitting on a pile of Rapid Rewards points! While the booking date isn't until January 19, 2026, it's worth planning ahead. Condor opens up a gateway to Europe that wasn't there before with Southwest and could be especially valuable for those who prefer to stick with Southwest for domestic travel but want to leverage their points for international adventures. Keep an eye out for more details on redemption rates and specific booking procedures as we get closer to the launch date!
