German airline, Condor offers new affordable business-class flights to Europe

If you thought you couldn’t afford to fly in style, think again! Condor, the low-cost German airline with planes that look like giant beach towels, is bringing inexpensive luxury to the masses with new more affordable business-class flights from 12 US cities this summer.

With new planes also on the horizon, you’ll be soaring across the Atlantic in comfort and style. Just try not to spill your drink on the snazzy new upholstery!

Condor’s flights from the USA first land in Frankfurt, the carrier’s hub. Passengers can continue to over 100 European destinations with Condor or its partner airlines, such as Lufthansa, SAS, and Aegean Airlines. These routes have been open since last summer, but this upcoming season will see more flights.

How much are tickets? 

Condor’s economy transatlantic fares range from $800 to $1,600 round-trip, with an additional $120 each way for premium economy seats. Business-class fares start at around $2,000 round-trip. Although not part of a major airline alliance group, Condor has partnered with Alaska Airlines and JetBlue, allowing travelers to earn and spend Alaska miles on their flights.

Condor’s fancy business-class seats have lie-flat beds, direct aisle access, and a 17.3-inch entertainment screen. But if you want to truly experience luxury, splurge an extra $199 for a seat in the front row with a 24-inch screen and your own personal snack basket.
