Oh, do you mean the low - cost German airline...???

"A male flight attendant approached my sleeping wife, woke her up and reprimanded her saying "Fuesse vom Sitz! Sie sind hier nicht zuhause" and then proceeded to repeat the insult in English "Put the feet down! You are not at home here!..."

CUSTOMER REVIEWS:

“portions of food were terrible”

D Fefko (Czech Republic) 5th February 2024

"Our flight from Frankfurt to Prague was canceled by Condor for no reason. We were in time at the gate and we were unable to board second plane. In the cabin we had to pay for wine, headphones etc... The portions of the food in comparison to other airlines were terrible. I was hungry. Seats were uncomfortable. Again in comparison to other airlines. The planes was not cleaned... I am not choosing this airlines ever again.

"Terrible experience"

Krisztina Balazs (Canada) 20th October 2023

Terrible experience. Hours of delay. Overbooked flight, they offered upgrade for cash only. Made me downgrade from business to economy because of my pet on board, then offered an upgrade for cash only. regardless. The flight was delayed by hours because of luggage issues, etc which was because of overbooked economy. No blankets, no refreshments, no water, you have to pay for everything and the check in staff is beyond rude.

"staff were professional, passionate, enthusiastic"

Joseph Robert Goodrich (United States) 16th October 2023

Great airline. The staff were professional, passionate, enthusiastic. They thoroughly love their jobs, and it showed. Seat comfort was good. Amenities were thoughtful and of good quality. Cuisine was remarkably decent. Aircraft was new, clean, and comfortable. What an amazing surprise. This airline really hits it out of the ballpark.

"All in all disappointing"

Christian Brincken (Germany) 5th October 2023

Disappointing experience. Brand new plane, flight a bit behind schedule. Seats are very narrow and hard, Condor optimised every inch of the airplane. Food very small and not very tasty, Service okay but not very friendly, bathrooms ridiculously narrow and small. Entertainment so and so. All in all disappointing.

"attendants treat guests like cattle"

1 reviews Danyel Tiefenbacher (United States) 13th August 2023

I traveled with my 7-months pregnant wife and my two young children. After 9 hours my youngest finally fell asleep and laid his head down in my wife's lap. He was careful not to put the bottom of the shoes on the seat, only the sides. A male flight attendant approached my sleeping wife, woke her up and reprimanded her saying "Fuesse vom Sitz! Sie sind hier nicht zuhause" and then proceeded to repeat the insult in English "Put the feet down! You are not at home here!" We paid $7,000 for our flights, about the same as for 10 nights in all 5-star hotels in Frankfurt and 3 other cities in Europe on our trip. It would have never occurred any of the hotel staff to treat us this rude. Condor flight attendants treat guests like cattle. Never ever will I fly Condor again.
