Condor isn't the most expensive airline to fly on, and in the past, their service was...limited, to say the least. Let's see if things changed with their new brand and fleet of A330neos.

Thank you for taking economy. This is the main reason I am watching your channel. Unfortunately many other creators lost a sense for reality, not relevant for 90% of travellers.

@_ryanjs_6342 16 дней назад

I fly this route a lot because I live in the US and have friends in Germany, ever since Condor switched to this new plane I don't even bother with Lufthansa anymore.

@basti279 10 дней назад

Reasonably. I mean, in the Premium Eco, Lufthansa still has their benefits. In Eco and Business however, Condor looks much better at the moment!

@amandeepsinghbajaj97 16 дней назад

idk why i really like condor's livery

@mkkm945 16 дней назад

Because they did a good job. It was "shocking" for some at first but breaking away from the dull Eurowhite of every other cookie-cutter livery was just the ticket. Now everyone knows Condor and I would fly them in a heartbeat since I know they exist!

Using “goated” makes you sound like not only an idiot, but also an asshole

@BrainwenAlekanta 16 дней назад

Did you know: some of Condor's Airbus A330neos are initially ordered by AirAsia X and Garuda Indonesia, but they cancel or postpone their orders, so those planes are taken over by Condor (with MSN 1950+) for MSN more than 2000 is ordered by Condor themselves (D-ANRJ with MSN 2033)

@freesourcandy 16 дней назад

I remember that this livery was unveiled on April's Fool day, and many people (including me), thought it was just a joke.

I really hope they'll take over old 4Y/LH routes in Düsseldorf and certainly see potential in them serving long-haul from DUS. Especially DUS-JFK and similar more traditional routes, though they'll serve that one in September/October again.

@Irondog10 16 дней назад

I would love for Condor to start operating long-haul flights from Düsseldorf!

@thesupersaiyann5424 16 дней назад

Fantastic video. You bring a real refined and confident side to flight reviews that I can't find a lot of the time. I don't want someone yapping away about a business class seat I'll never sit in, but I also want someone interesting who will tell me what I need to know! Just like my guy Alex. Keep it up!

@sheikhwajahat7976 16 дней назад

I love this detail description of such historic airlines. It adds extra value to the trip report and is equally informative for fellow avgeek. Simply aviation is truly my go to channel before deciding to buy a plane ticket for any airline to view their product and services. ❤️❤️

Another great trip report David. I love the interior of the aircraft. I also love Condor's livery! 😃 Overall a good flight and service. I would be happy to fly with them.😉

@robertvoinea5339 16 дней назад

Thank you for the video, i was just watching other videos posted by you and thinking when you will be posting,. I just went on the youtube homepage and saw your video first in the list. Also I love the brutally honest series.

As a former Lufthansa employee, it was weird to see the Thomas Cook bankrupcy from inside.

@simondahl5437 11 дней назад

Up here in the nordics the collapse of Thomas Cook was quite a big deal - they were a rather popular leisure travel option. The usual panic set in. But besides the people who had booked right during the collapse not much happened. One year we flew Thomas Cook, and the next we flew SunClass Airlines on the same aircraft and same route as we had on Thomas Cook the year before.

@MarkusLoffelsend 16 дней назад

You mentioned 'our' airport SPC with that landing video. Thanks for that. 😊

@CornholiusFugner 6 дней назад

Thank you for this excellent video. Being a budget traveller, Condor is my preferred choice when it comes to flying between Germany and the USA. Their economy light fare never popped up when I searched for flights, so unlike with United and Lufthansa they always included at least one free piece of checked baggage on those routes. With United and Lufthansa, I had to pay for luggage when choosing the cheapest fare. About the food - as an economy passengers you have the option to book a premium economy meal for an additional 20$ (a luxury I tried out last year), but unlike the premium economy passengers you will not have a choice between two meals and receive "what's available".

We did this plane Frankfurt - Mauritius and back, and Frankfurt - Male and back, and we love it. Love the leg space, 4 k screen, and ambient lighting. For the new trip we will again try to book Condor

Really like that historical part!

@Gameflyer001 16 дней назад

Pleasantly surprised by the video. Being based in YYZ, I really don't see them too often as that's a seasonal route for them, but would love to fly aboard Condor one day (along with Lufthansa mainline).

@alexanderpind 16 дней назад

@crystalthewolf8945 2 дня назад

I personally LOVE that Condor chose darker seats that show more dirt as a direct way of saying "Hey look how clean our aircraft are!"

@Sedna063 16 дней назад

Thanks for checking - my parents will take the flight to SFO on Saturday

@coyotelong4349 16 дней назад

I flew this same service with Condor on the same aircraft type in Economy from LAX-Frankfurt and actually enjoyed it quite a bit

@jajabwuw 16 дней назад

Great video and WOW!! Great airline

@wolfgangromerdr.9703 16 дней назад

Flew lately from YYZ-FRA on their A330neo on Business, which was one of the best flights I ever had. Very comfy and quiet plane, excellent catering and very nice crew. Would always fly with them again.

@BQD_Central 6 дней назад

I grew to like Condor over the years as they are THE leisure airline when you fly from Frankfurt (which is my home airport). Discover Airline (Condors step sister company if you will, being a new leisure line founded by Lufthansa) is also quite good here, but I didn't fly with them for about 2 years, so I can't give any new opinions. I flew Premium Economy to La Romana back in January. It was quite comfy, but it's still a 10 hour flight. Premium Economy actually gives you a menu option, I remember that much. And it wasn't really that expensiv either, I think 150 Euros per flight (or 300 overall), which was not that bad given that you also have more luggage included.

I flew in Condor Premium Economy and it is well worth the upgrade. There is no priority security but you do get early boarding in group 2 usually.

@oliverweber5467 7 дней назад

Seat pitch in standard economy is actually only 30 inches. That's among the worst you can get on any long-haul flight.

@irisroeleven 16 дней назад

I thought KLM Asia didn’t exist anymore and it’s just these liveries that are still in service. I looked it up a few years ago because I spotted these planes quite a lot at Schiphol and wanted to know the story behind it.

@riochen463 16 дней назад

Meal still looks better than us carriers

@reeseanderson4432 16 дней назад

Idk how i feel about the outer livery but how they incorporated it into the interior design is flawless and chic. This is what I was expecting with Air Franc's Joon - aesthetic and modern with flexible fares to appeal to younger passengers.

@GenkisTravels 16 дней назад

Their livery cracks me up

@gerhardma4687 16 дней назад

@bjornk7504 13 дней назад

Amazing Airline, flew with them from Frankfurt to Zanzibar ❤

@gauer99 11 дней назад

Great video! To make some argument for the somewhat mediocre meal you have been served, I have recently pre-booked a Red Thai Curry for a return flight with Condor. The curry was the best I have ever eaten in the air given airline meal circumstances but even triumphed many I have eaten on the ground and the price of ~ €10 was amazing. It was a medium haul flight to a European vacation destination so I don’t know whether the option to pre-book meals are available on long haul flights.

@oceanlnr9414 15 дней назад

@bremsberg 2 дня назад

Ok, I flew this flight but from SF. It was terrible. The meal is as described - warm mac with cold mac, only one meal per flight. The croissant with two cheeses was cold as hell. Despite that there was not enough leg room for a 6.4' guy like me so there were no talks about any sleep. Felt broken af. I remember flying from Moscow to NY 5 years ago and they had 2 meals with actual meat in it and I somehow managed to get some rest during the flight w/o feeling my knees . The economy class went to dirt.

@desertfox486 16 дней назад

Condor should change its name to Candy if they're going to keep this livery.

@lrg3834 16 дней назад

Cabin looks very nice and inviting. Free food is limited, but like you said, you can always order from the buy-on-board menu. That said, Lufthansa needs to go back to the drawing board.

@Vlogstafy 16 дней назад

@miklosbendeguzgergye5823 8 дней назад

Honestly, I believe that it's okay that the alcoholic beverages and special drinks like Red Bull are not included, so they can offer a lower ticket price and only those have to pay for it, who wants to drink these kinds of treats.
