Frequently Asked Questions
Is Condor a budget airline?
Condor is a leisure carrier, not ultra-low-cost. The A330neo product is genuinely competitive with legacy carriers. "Budget" in pricing, not quality.
How does Condor Business compare to Lufthansa?
Many reviewers rate Condor Business equal to or better than Lufthansa — with significantly lower prices.
Are Prime Seats worth the $200-360 upgrade?
For overnight flights: Yes — the open ottoman significantly improves sleeping. For daytime: Nice but not essential.
