Any news on Condor availability/scheduling for FRA-BOS from this October through to May 2026? Looks like most, if not all, the direct flights (DE 2038) got pulled from their website (doesn't show on AS or google flights either) but direct flights still seem to exist through Sept 2025 and in June 2026.

I believe Condor flies seasonal into Boston so the dates you mentioned sound about right.

That's news to me. I'd been tracking the route since May. I even pulled the trigger on 2J last week for early May 2026 only for them to change my flight and wipe that part of their schedule blank suddenly a couple days ago.

Condor's flights to Boston have been seasonal so long as it existed. This year, that season started on May 1. https://airlinegeeks.com/2025/03/21/...rica-capacity/

Any experience with Condor through checking bags on two separate tickets? Flying BOS-FRA then FRA to BCN, booked through AS. Alaska wants 110K miles to book it as one itinerary, or 55K + 7.5K to book as two, so obviously I'm looking at booking two separate tickets. Trying to determine if I need to clear immigration in FRA or if I can take the tighter connection if my bags can be checked in BOS through to BCN.

I honestly will not count on Condor interlining bags. Although both flights are operated by Condor, Condor is still a low cost carrier.
I will allow myself plenty of connecting time, especially baggage delivery time at Frankfurt is less than ideal for Condor.

I am planning to travel from MIA to Paris late August. I booked a business class ticket using AS miles to travel on Condor MIA-FRA. I was planning to connect to CDG on a Lufthansa flight with a 3 hour layover. In normal circumstances that should be enough time for me since I don't usually check bags. However, looking at the Condor site I realize that their carry on baggage size and weights are really restrictive. I am worry that they will make me check my luggage (they are like 1/2" more on all the dimensions). Are the gate agents strict with business class passengers? Do you think i will still make the connection if I have to pick up my checked bags and go through security at FRA? I am not that familiar with the airport at Frankfurt. This is my first time flying Condor and I only book the ticket to get my elite miles for AS.

We just flew YYZ-FRA return in business class and no one checked the size of carry on bags for either flight (for anyone - not just business class passengers). I have a feeling that the carry-on size restrictions are more for their intra-Europe leisure flights.

No one checked carry-on size at the gate or plane for our FRA-PMI flight, but perhaps they do at check-in at certain airports.

I had something similar. I managed to create a two leg (and one way only) itinerary on Google flights which then linked that itinerary to Condor website and I booked it there. So it was one itinerary with two flights. When I got to the airport I was told that my bag is checked in till the end but they could not issue me boarding pass for the second flight. I got it issued at the gate for the second flight. So, even though I had both flights on one itinerary, the system somehow saw it as two separate bookings. This booking wasn't possible to be made manually directly on Condor website. In the end, my checked bag did not arrive (connection was decent few hours) and I had to make a report and they rerouted the bag from Frankfurt the next day and airport delivered it to my hotel.
I can't guarantee it to you but there is a chance that the staff may check in your bag till the end destination.

Anyway, there used to be direct flights from FRA to HAV. I can't get them shown on Condor website nor search engines but ChatGPT says he can see them. It also says that the route was decommissioned. Does anyone know anything about this?

I'm not sure why people would ask an LLM about this opposed to any hard resources as you never know if it hallucinates or not.

Condor does currently not fly to Cuba and as of now nothing has been planned.

Thanks for the timetables. I tried with chatGPT just for comparison as I was sure that I saw directs to Cuba last year and was surprised when it rerouted me through Madrid.

Probably an acquisition is coming soon.

We were downgraded at the gate on DE1505 PMI-FRA last week. The agent said the plane "did not have a business class cabin" but it did and they merely put someone in the middle seats marked as business class on the headrests :rolleyes: presumably because they had oversold the flight, but I digress.

We were given a form and told to follow a link on the form and submit for a refund. We have now tried that link (it's the contact/customer relations one) on various browsers and after entering the information in and attaching the requested documentation, the web page comes back with "An error occurred while sending the form"

We have tried several browsers and still keep getting this error with no description of what the issue is. Anyone encountered this before and have a possible solution?
