A little-know budget airline is flying its new Airbus A330neo between the US and Germany, with business class going for as low as $1,199 one-way — see inside

The airline has been flying to the US for years, and, by summer 2023, will have a strong network of 17 routes across North America to places like Seattle, Toronto, and San Francisco.

…and a widebody fleet of Airbus A330-200, A330neo, and Boeing 767-300ER aircraft, though the company plans to have an all-A330neo long-haul fleet by 2024.

While the carrier has historically sported an all-white fuselage with varying tail designs, the livery was changed in April 2022 to resemble beach towels.

The eye-catching stripes — which come in blue, green, red, yellow, and beige — represent the carrier’s leisure business model.

But, the company has started to focus more heavily on the corporate traveler, and is revamping its business class product to lure in more premium customers.

I toured the carrier’s A330-900neo, which will be the airline’s long-haul workhorse, to see what passengers can expect — take a look.

Condor’s A330neo is new to the fleet, favored for its 20% better fuel efficiency and lower operating costs compared to older A330s.

The first of 18 aircraft was delivered to Condor on December 19, and flew for the first time from Frankfurt to Mauritius in East Africa on December 27. But, Monday’s flight was the plane type’s first trip across the Atlantic.

However, both sections feature 13.3-inch seat each screens, and the regular bells and whistles of coach, like a sturdy tray table and a seatback pocket…

…as well as an adjustable headrest and power ports, including both USB and USB-C.

Turtiainen said wifi packages will be available throughout the jet, which can be tailored to the traveler’s needs, whether it be texting, emailing, or streaming.
