    It is a solid product. I like the livery. Condor is a German holiday airline as you correctly mentioned. The livery is meant to mimic the distinct design of German beach chairs usually found on the Baltic and North Sea coasts.

    I’m afraid but Condors livery is absolutely stunning. I’ll have to admit, the first time I saw it I didn’t particularly like it but as time progressed, I really started to like it. In the end, they got the whole aviation industry talking about their midsized airline that is usually just relevant for German tourists; therefore this marketing move is absolutely genius. The inside of the new A330s looks incredible as well, I really can’t share your criticisms about their stripy theme

    LOVE the livery and interior! It instantly screams holiday and fun. Kudos to Condor for making a bold design choice. So many other airlines give you depressing proletariat gray, maybe beige. It gives high visibility on the tarmac and gets airport goers talking/wondering. Brilliant marketing move.

    Me, my wife and my two young children flew on condor over to mexico last year for a two week family holiday. We connected through frankfurt. My wife was incredibly worried, as our kids are both under 5 years old. However, from the moment we stepped on board, we were made to feel welcome. The cabin crew made a concerted effort to help keep the children entertained, with one even colouring with my eldest for a while in between services. The captain also passed through the cabin and chatted to everyone (something you don't see done very often these days). For a "holiday airline," they are incredible. I also adore there livery its different and stands out !

It really is a stroke of genius on Condors part, next year we are heading to Europe and the family asked if we are flying Condor.
    Well actually we are, the wife, my in laws and I will be upfront, the rest are in coach. From other reviews Condor looks to have a solid product, certainly better than LH or BA.

    Condor was once Lufthansa‘s holiday airline. In 2009, Lufthansa sold its remaining shares in Condor to the travel group Thomas Cook. After its bankruptcy, the airline received state aid and was thus able to survive. Condor now flies in competition with Lufthansa on many routes. In responce, Lufthansa has founded Discover Airlines (formerly Eurowings discover) as its new holiday airline and direct competitor to Condor. The fact that Condor is a former subsidiary of Lufthansa is the reason what the airline flies Form Terminal 1 at Frankfurt airport, Business class passengers are allowed to use the Lufthansa lounges there and why Lufthansa has to operativ feeder flights to Condor‘s long-haul flights. Lufthansa wanted to end the latter two years ago, baut was forced by the Federal Cartel Office (Bundeskartellamt) to continue offering these flights.

      It was not the best move of Lufthansa to abandon Condor, when they did. Instead, all of this mess with Eurowings or Discover Airlines or whatever they call themselves. Just short term measures to save on personnel and to break the Pilot's Union. Not really a smart move.

    A lot of people don’t know this but different airline employees have different metrics that they have to meet from a performance standpoint. Situations where the agent starts boarding the aircraft before the fly crew is ready most likely means that agent didn’t want to take the hit for the delay but instead put it on the flight crew to take the hit.

    Condor has 5 different colour schemes; red, representing Passion, and yellow, representing Sunshine, are not on the long haul routes. Those routes will be in Island (green), Beach (beige) and Sea (blue). Whilst I’m not a fan of the livery, on an apron with 200 planes on it you will never, ever, miss or mistake the Condor plane for anything else. The fact that their C-CL blows LHs out of the wat… um, sky, is just icing on the cake.

    I laughed when I first saw that livery, but it has grown on me. Yes, the stripes are counter to the concept of forward movement. But it’s quite a unique branding and painting a/c in different colors (with the same pattern) is an original way to distinguish the airline from others. The rest of the product looks pretty solid, so the stripes wouldn’t bother me in the least. Great video as always…travel safe!

    Hi there, I'm a ramp agent at Hamburg Airport (HAM). Condors crew is always a bit slow preparing the cabin for passengers. Usually the ramp agent starts the pre boarding into the jet bridge even if they crew says they're not ready because if he would only start when they're 100% ready the flight would be massively delayed. Maybe that's the case here again. Of course for the passengers it's not comfortable but its necessary for the schedule.

That's because the country follows the same time zone as neighbouring peninsular Malaysia, which in-turn wants to follow east Malaysia's timezone (probably to bring the country closer to other east Asia-Pacific countries' timezones to facilitate financial trading). So sunrise is usually around 0645h (but can be as late as 0715 or 0730h if its raining, especially during the Nov-Jan monsoon season), & then the sun usually stays up for ~12h

    I think the Condor scheme comes from the WW1 "Flying Circus" colours used by the German Air Force on the likes of Fokker Triplanes and Albatros aircraft amoungst others. Like the travel vids. All the best. 😀

    If you want the Condor pajama you need to book the first row of Business Class in the A330 Neo which they brand as Prime Seats. You get extra legroom, additional amenities and a NON-STRIPED ;) pajama. I have flown them twice between FRA and NYC and it's a solid product, definitely better than Lufthansa.

    Condor should have painted the stripes red and white like a candy cane which was also invented in Germany. Their plane was certainly beautiful on the inside regardless. I could never totally relax on a plane and would have to be extremely tired to fall asleep. Seeing the snow in Frankfurt reminded me of Joan Baez’s “Love Song to a Stranger (Part 2)” with the lyrics, “My thoughts drift into the frozen night, Frankfurt is covered with snow”. She’s not really known for writing songs but this is one of my favorites among the other good songs she’s written.
    Your videos are especially entertaining because of your great sense of humor. Tragic events have happened in the big beautiful state of Texas and your brilliant humor must be welcomed.

      The short & medium haul ( A 320-A321 & 757-300) have the red stripes next to blue and beige.
      The Long haul A 330-900 have green, blue & beige.

    I enjoy the color scheme for the planes. It's something new, refreshing, and very distinctive. As someone who flies Condor regularly from SEA > FRA, they have the best game in town. When they moved away from the dated 767, it made me incredibly happy. Better than the Lufthansa flight!

    I think the new Condor livery is indicative of a new trend in airline liveries. Think of Spirit, the new JetBlue livery, Riyadh Air, ITA, the new Royal Jordanian, etc. It seems like the trend is slowly moving away from plain Eurowhite/predictable tail swoops with small logo text and toward bold schemes that stand out among the crowd. There are exceptions of course (like Air India, Brussels Airlines etc), but the trend seems to be just beginning. I'm all for it- even if some of the new liveries are a bit "loud" and garish it makes them more interesting!

    Good to hear that you liked the business class experience! Condor's economy class service, on the contrary, is rather bad to be honest. Low weight limit for checked baggage, very limited on-board entertainment, rather bad food... I don't care for looks but I tend to avoid them for flying experience reasons as I usually fly economy and other airlines do economy service better. Please try Discover airlines some time soon!
