Condor Airlines - is this a good choice?

Flying from Las Vegas non-stop to Frankfurt using Alaska mileage program.
Best option seems to be Condor. HOWEVER, know nothing about this airline; is this a good choice?

Great airline and great prices! Before you spend your Alaska miles, check and see what the dollar cost is....it's sometimes as low as a few hundred dollars each way in Coach. I fly them often. I've done Coach. Premium Econ is way better if you can swing it but it's a lot more miles. Prem Econ round trip for purchase is often $1100 round trip. I think Alaska wants 90,000 miles for it. My focus is always a nonstop flight and as much legroom as I can get - Condor is great for this out of SeaTac, where my nonstop options are limited.

We flew to from Halifax (Canada) to Frankfurt last year using Condor. They swapped out the plane last minute, to one that did not have business class on it. Not only did they refund the price difference between business & premium class, which is what I expected to receive, but refunded additional $ for the inconvenience. Ended up that the two of us flew for less than $500. We received an email from them with an apology, and also an apology letter by mail from their parent company Tomas Cook.

I'll have a better idea in a week. Flying them MSP-FRA on Friday, then FRA-PDX a couple weeks later.

Paid up for business class. It doesn't look as nice as the business class on Delta (seats don't lie completely flat), but nice nonetheless. It's also a lot less expensive than Delta. After being paraded for years through business class on my way back to Economy Discomfort, I decided to give it a try.
