Good news about the Emirates Skywards program has been hard to come by this year, but we finally have something positive to share. In an unannounced change that we caught on Emirates' website, Emirates slashed economy award pricing on one of its partner airlines, Condor<\/a>, by 25% across the board.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a look at the new award rates for Condor flights and how to top up your Skywards balance if you want to book one of these now-cheaper awards.<\/p>\n

Emirates Slashes Condor Economy Awards by 25%<\/span><\/h2>\n

A little under 18 months ago, Emirates cut partner economy award pricing by up to 20%<\/a>, so changes like this aren\u2019t exactly far from the norm. This year\u2019s “re-valuation” is even better than last year\u2019s, since all Condor economy awards were reduced by another 25%<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It remains to be seen if similar changes are coming to other partner award charts, but we're keeping our eyes peeled in case that happens.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re generally fans of distance-based award charts, and there\u2019s a lot to like about this one if you don\u2019t mind flying economy.<\/p>\n

For example, you can now fly between Toronto (YYZ), Boston (BOS), or New York (JFK) and Frankfurt (FRA) for just 19,500 miles plus a little over $50 in taxes and fees. Before the changes, these same awards cost 26,000 miles.<\/p>\n

If you want to fly a little farther, you can do that for less, too. Condor has a scattershot route map, but you can also fly from West Coast cities like Los Angeles (LAX), Seattle (SEA), and Anchorage (ANC) to Frankfurt.<\/p>\n

The LAX to FRA route, in particular, will now cost you 28,500 miles plus a modest $28.50 in taxes and fees. This is a ticket that previously cost 38,000 miles.<\/p>\n

This news might not be all that exciting if you\u2019re a business class or bust kind of traveler, but it should be if you don\u2019t mind flying economy. Emirates Skywards is now one of the best ways to book Condor flights.<\/p>\n

Take that same LAX to FRA award, for example. Here\u2019s what it would cost through the two other programs that offer access to Condor awards:<\/p>\n
