Condor Airlines

Condor is a German leisure airline headquartered in Frankfurt, owned by Attestor since 2022, so pick your flight, then book through ShopBack before you pay: ShopBack Cashback works like a discount, only easier than a promo code. The core network is US to Frankfurt on the transatlantic long-haul side, plus European short-haul from Frankfurt to leisure destinations. See the Condor US site for the current route map.

Yes. Condor has flown transatlantic routes for decades under German commercial aviation regulation, and its US routes are approved by the US Department of Transportation. Refund and consumer protections follow standard EU carrier rules plus US DoT overlay on flights to and from the US.

Condor does not run its own standalone frequent-flyer programme. It participates in Lufthansa Group's Miles & More programme as a partner airline, so members can earn Miles & More points on eligible Condor flights and redeem miles for award tickets. The status of Condor's wider Lufthansa Group integration is in flux; commercial partnership and codeshare arrangements have shifted over recent years. Check the current earn table on Miles & More before assuming a specific mileage rate on Condor-operated flights.

Condor offers fare bundles (Economy Light, Economy Classic, Economy Flex, Premium, and Business on long-haul) that determine baggage allowance. Economy Light typically carry-on only; higher bundles add a checked bag. Standard long-haul carry-on is up to 8 kg. Checked baggage is typically 23 kg per bag in economy. Business Class carries a heavier allowance and additional pieces. Check the current baggage guidelines on the Condor US site for the specific fare and route, since allowances vary.

Condor Premium Class sits between Economy and Business on the A330-900neo long-haul fleet. It offers wider seats, extra legroom, upgraded meal service, priority boarding, and lounge access on some airports. For a 9-plus hour transatlantic flight, Premium typically prices roughly 1.5 to 2 times the Economy Classic fare. Worth it for travellers who want a real sleep-shot without paying for full lie-flat Business Class. Verify current cabin layout and Premium allocation for your specific route and date on the Condor site.

Main Condor sale windows typically include Travel Tuesday (December 2, 2026 following Cyber Monday), Black Friday (November 27, 2026), Cyber Monday (November 30, 2026), the Spring Sale, Summer Sale for European deals, Fall Sale, End-of-Year Sale, and monthly Payday Sale events. Historic pattern shows transatlantic fares starting near the mid-$200s on Travel Tuesday and summer Europe fares from around $550. Verify current dates and eligible routes on the Condor US site before booking, since availability and price bands shift by season and route demand.

Refund eligibility depends on fare bundle. Economy Light is typically non-refundable but may qualify for taxes and airport fee refund on cancellation. Economy Flex and Business fares carry more flexible change and refund rules. On US departures, the standard US Department of Transportation 24-hour cancellation rule applies when the flight is more than seven days away. Refund processing typically runs a few weeks. Check the refund policy on the Condor US site for the specific fare bundle before booking.

Both fly the US to Frankfurt corridor. Condor typically prices below Lufthansa on the same date, especially on Economy Light bundles, with a simpler leisure-focused product. Lufthansa carries a fuller premium cabin, deeper onward European network via the Star Alliance, and more elite-earning power for Miles & More members. For a straight leisure trip to Frankfurt or onward transfer to Southern Europe, Condor value fares typically win. For deeper European connections and premium cabin choice, Lufthansa typically wins. Both earn Miles & More when correctly booked.

All three run value transatlantic service. Icelandair uses Reykjavik as a stopover hub for US to broader Europe. Norse Atlantic runs a low-cost direct US to London / Oslo / Rome / Berlin model on a small fleet. Condor's US to Frankfurt corridor covers more US origin cities than Norse and does not require the Reykjavik stopover that Icelandair routes through. For direct US to Germany at value pricing, Condor typically wins. For US to Iceland or a stopover break, Icelandair typically wins. For direct US to UK, Norse Atlantic typically wins on price.

Condor serves Baltimore, Boston, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, New York (JFK), Phoenix, San Francisco, and Seattle year-round to Frankfurt, plus seasonal Anchorage and Portland service. Onward European destinations from Frankfurt include leisure short-haul into Southern Europe, the Canary Islands, and North Africa. Long-haul beach service from Frankfurt covers the Caribbean, Indian Ocean, and Middle East. Verify the current route map and seasonal schedule on the Condor US site.

Pending Cashback on a Condor Airlines booking made through ShopBack typically appears in your ShopBack account within a few days of ticket purchase. It moves to confirmed after the travel date passes and the fare bundle's refund window closes. Transatlantic bookings made months ahead of travel typically sit pending until after the return flight is flown; Economy Light bookings sometimes finalise faster than flexible fares because their refund window is tighter.
