"While Southwest does fly to destinations in the Caribbean, Mexico and Central America, the new partnership gives the airline, which primarily flies within the U.S., another portal to expand its international offerings. "Adding Condor to our portfolio of partners brings transatlantic journeys between dozens of airports in the U.S. and exciting and aspirational places Condor serves," Andrew Watterson, Southwest Airlines' chief operating officer, said in a news release. The partnership opens routes for Southwest flyers to reach Condor's European and Asian destinations."
"Condor is known for offering an affordable luxury experience in business class on its flights - as well as for its colorful planes, which feature bold striping meant to evoke beach chairs and towels. The Condor-Southwest partnership will serve California gateway airports like SFO and Los Angeles International Airport, as well as other West Coast destinations, including Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas, Portland International Airport and Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. Watterson said through Las Vegas alone, the partnership offers international travelers "more than 270 departures a day and nonstop flights to more than 70 cities." Condor flights from SFO stop in Frankfurt, Germany, before heading to destinations across Europe and Asia."

Condor provides an affordable luxury business-class product and distinctive livery. Through Las Vegas the partnership delivers more than 270 departures daily and nonstop service to over 70 cities, improving connectivity for North American travelers. Condor flights from San Francisco transit Frankfurt before continuing to destinations across Europe and Asia.
