      Which I assume won't happen as LH and Condor currently don't get along really well to phrase it that way. To sum that up (a bit more dramatic than it actually is): Condor gets competition from the LH subsidiary Discover Airlines and uses every legal "loophole" to launch lawsuits and make life a living hell for the Discover Airlines legal team :D

    Wow...loved this video. You mentioned that your expectations were exceeded by Condor...so were mine...even as a viewer rather than a traveler. The Business Class cabin was as visually impressive as any I have seen and I was quite pleased to see what a statement was made by the striped theme. The service from the flight attendants and certainly the dining options were also something to be complimented. This is definitely not the Condor I remember when my former partner used to fly them from Germany to the United States years ago. Great job as usual, my friend. You've set the bar pretty high.

    We will take that this fall to Frankfurt and back. Now a hoodie! I love it. I'm still using my Condor cup, my #1 amenity kit. I'm so tired of these Signature Amenity leather bags.
    The most important thing, I got along with the crew on both flights in 2021. One female crew gave me a hug while we were waiting for our bags at Seattle airport. She told me to fly again Condor. For sure we will this year in their Neo A330-900.

There is something about you Brits that make you really good at this. Either your channel is quite new or it is underappreciated - either way, this video is pro level.

    I flew business class two weeks ago, PDX to FRA, in seat 6K, which is NOT a prime seat. We got no pajamas or snack basket, so they must be prime-seat perks. I liked the seat a lot - pretty comfy. You mentioned that the "footwell" can feel cramped on many airlines but it felt roomy to me. The one thing I didn't like about the seat was there was ZERO storage - nothing at your feet and nothing on the shelf is allowed during takeoff and landing. The FA came along and put my man-purse in the overhead, which really annoyed me. Also I found the meal service to be really rushed, but maybe the FAs don't know what they are doing yet. Thanks for the review.
