Hello,

We will be traveling from Seattle to Munich in end of August, with Condor. Through Condor website, we can book tickets and it will be like, Seattle to Frankfurt in Condor and then Frankfurt to Munich in Lufthansa. While returning also, it is same. Condor doesn't have best reviews, so I am little conscious about it, while my travel date is still far.

- In case, if first flight is delayed, will Condor take care of second part of flight or we may miss it ? All travel is booked on Condor flight only. While talking to Condor representative, she said that you can buy/assign seat only from Seattle to Frankfurt with us, but for Frankfurt to Munich seat assignment, you would need to do/check with Lufthansa. This is the reason, I am asking, how much responsible they would be, if first flight is delayed. One side stop is 1:40 hrs and returning stop is 2:25 hrs, so first part is tight.

- I have seen few examples with non-very-reputed airlines that due to some reasons, they re-adjust flight, specially when travel date is still far. Do airlines give option to refund money, if they have to change time/day ? These tickets are non-refundable.

Thanks

Yes they'll be responsible in putting you on the next flight if the first one delays.
If the time schedule change is substantial, you can absolutely call and get a refund.

Thanks. That takes my few worries away

1:40 in FRA is not tight. There may be some waiting time at the immigration, but the luggage is checked through. There are many flights from FRA to NUC, so you are safe.

We will be traveling on Schengen visa. Will we be doing visa/immigration formalities at Frankfurt (first port of entry of Schengen area) or at Munich (final destination) ?

Thanks for clarifying this. Second flight will reach Munich at 16:10. Considering extra Security Scan and Customs in MUC after Baggage Claim, is it safe to book time for picking rental car at 17:30 - 18:00 ?
I understand that there can be further checks, flight delay or any other factor, but I am going with average process, with no complications.

The time indicated for a car rental is rather indicative. I'd give them 16:30 as there is a very remote chance that they'll have your car ready at 18:00 while you'll be waiting for it at 16:30...

I wouldn't go as early as 16:30, but 17:00 should be just fine.

Extra scan and customs at Munich might take as little as no time at all, and usually would be minutes at most unless contraband is found.

Thank you.

We prefer to travel on Condor from BWI to FRA but it is seasonal so we don't always get to fly them (had to fly WOW last week). But all of our flights to and from FRA have been good. We do prefer to book the premium class (premium economy) so that we get the extra legroom and the free (included with fare) IFE.

As far as not getting seat assignments FRA to MUC it is a very short flight so I would try not to worry too much about it.

Yes, thats what I will be doing. Thanks for giving more confidence :-)

Will book that for 17:00 as suggested
