Just look at Etihad A330 review. Condor got the aircraft from them and they did not change the interior. I'm on their SEA-FRA next Monday and will have a better idea.

(YouTube of a shorter flight, doesn't look like they turn the IFE on for shorter flights?)

I can now confirm there is no IFE on Condor A330. There is also no Wi-Fi. The hard product in business is tired and three seats, including mine, did not go completely flat. The soft product was decent. The service was well presented and they were not overbearing.. Probably would not fly with them again.

true, but I guess they feel these aircraft are only a stop gap until they receive their A330 neo. About an hour after take off, they served the meal and the. Instructed passengers to lower their window shades and turned off the lights . Nothing for the next 8+ hours.. I already down loaded a few movies on my phone for my return Friday.

I can verify this. My return flight did have "fly stream" and I counted around 12 movies and more than half the TV shows were in either German or another foreign language. Our problem was there was no charging available because the system was not working.And by them stating to charge your device before your flight, it appears it still not working. I had to save power on my phone because I Needed my boarding pass for my connecting flight. I guess my inbound flight was your outbound flight

Still no IFE and no charging but BYOD entertainment worked and generally impressed with everything else on my 10 hour flight. Four course dinner - I had to skip the cheese course as the first two courses are like entire coach meals and I did want to save room for the chocolate mousse. Decent but not amazing single course breakfast. Seats were great - mine went full flat and I got decent sleep. Nice blanket. In retrospect, the lack of IFE probably was helpful in getting me to sleep. Kinda boring flight outside the meals and that’s kinda what you want on an overnighter.
