It's rare these days that you see more flights added between the US and Germany. Most folks would say that the system is fairly maxed out. Today, it was announced by Condor Airlines (the low-budget, no-thrill, peanuts-and-Coke airline of Germany) that they'd start a flight between Seattle and Frankfurt. This would start next summer and involve two flights a week.
The thing about this deal is that Condor has formed a partnership with Alaska Airlines. They are likely looking at this from the prospective of Germans wanting that "wild" two week vacation....where they fly into Washington state and spend a week there, and then work a ticket with Alaska Airlines to fly up and do an adventure for a couple of days....return to Seattle for a day of urban living, and then return to Germany.
The plus side? The Euro rate is to the advantage of Germans currently. I'd predict a large group of Germans taking advantage of these tickets with Condor.
