Condor airlines

Here is a review of Premium and regular econ seats.

No personal experience, but the additional 5 inches between seats in Prem econ makes them better apart from the other perks one gets with the Prem econ class

I flew Condor Premium Economy in October 2023 R/T Seattle to Frankfurt. It was the new fleet of jets, so not sure the experience would be much different in 2024 or 2025. I have flown PE on 5 or 6 different airlines and the Condor experience was my least favorite. Yes, the price was great, but I found the seat uncomfortable (stashed my jacket behind my back). And in particular I missed the extra space between the seat next to me. Normally you have a wider arm rest area where your tray is stored etc. On Condor you simply had one regular arm rest to share with the other passenger. The service was good as I recall. I'm sure the PE section is better than Condor's economy section, but I will always look to another airline if I have the option.

Condor Airlines flies newer planes and we've enjoyed premium economy seats to/from Europe. It has a partnership with Alaska Airlines which is valuable to us in flyover territory, as flights to/from Europe are all on one ticket. Sometimes significant savings are available compared to other possible carriers. Caution: Condor's website is a bit of a slog. Also, some flights are not daily, so keep that in mind when booking.

I just bought tickets on a Condor flight Seattle to Frankfurt through Alaska Airlines, as that is our main carrier. You are right the Condor website is a slog! Alaska says it's a Condor flight, but on Condor it says it's an Alaska flight. No one knows, lol. They don't have an email that I can find, and I am currently texting someone on WhatApp. Recent reviews look good for business class, and the price is lowest. For economy there is a price tag to everything. If you are checking a bag or carrying on a bag, there's a charge. Want to select your seat? There's a charge. Want to pick out your food? There's a charge. There are fewer charges in Premium economy, it ends up being rather close in price.

Last summer I flew SEA-FRA in business class. I used all my Alaska miles for two RTs. Sadly, Alaska changed the mileage redemption, and this time, I'm paying cash for Premium Economy. I'm dreading it. As a 6', plus-size woman, I will take any extra space I can get over Economy, and Condor was the only airline offering a fare I was willing to pay (because I'm also cheap).

I’m curious about their boarding practices. One review said it was total chaos. Was this the case in either SEA or FRA?

In FRA, boarding is chaos, at least it was in our experiences. Bad gate area and buses. Ugh!

Changing planes there is a nightmare of buses and long long walks.

I like Condor Business Class going to Europe. Excellent service and we will use it again in September.

The boarding process was standard in my opinion--lots of people standing around trying to get on as soon as possible. We were at a normal gate in Frankfurt with no busses required.
