About
Owned by Thomas Cook, Condor is a massive charter airline operation. Condor connects German airports to southern Europe and beyond, with a destination map that extends to Africa, Asia, and the Americas. In 1971, Condor was the world's first leisure airline to use a Boeing 747 in its fleet. Note: Many of Condor's flights are essentially charter flights ferrying vacation package holders away or back home.
Baggage
* Carry-on: One item, up to 6 kg.
* Checked: Limits vary according to length of trip, but you’re allowed between 20-30 kg of stuff.
Seating
You can reserve seats in advance by paying €10 on one-way flights, €20 for returns. Note: Seat arrangements can only be made by phone or email. In some cases, you can reserve seats when you book. And, free seat reservations are always available for small children and the disabled.
Tip
In the event that you know you'll be lugging around much more than 20-30 kg, book a "baggage allowance package". Fees apply. For example, an extra 5 kilos will cost you anywhere from €23-37 depending on the flight.
