Condor Flugdienst GmbH (Condor) intends to ensure that your air travel experience will encompass, to the best of our abilities, the most comprehensive customer service possible. We have outlined our responsibilities and how we will fulfill them in 11-key points, known as our Condor Customer Commitment.

Note: The Condor Customer Commitment applies to a continuous Condor flight journey in the same aircraft or with one flight number that begins or ends at a U.S. airport.

1. Supplementary notes to the fares offered on www.condor.com, telephone reservation system and Condor airport ticket counters

Condor explicitly declares that fares offered via www.condor.com, may be lower than those offered via telephone reservations or for sale at the Condor airport ticket counter.  

2. Notifying consumers of known delays, cancellations and diversions

Condor will provide full and timely information on the status of known delays, cancellations and diversions. Therefore Condor provides real-time flight status information notification:

• Via our telephone hotline number in different languages.
• Via our website at www.condor.com – flight info – travel preparation – departure & arrival or copy the following Link into your browser: www.condor.com/ibe/cfi/us/fot/flightontime.xhtml.
• By contacting you about cancellations when the event is known in advance of departure. In order to do so, please ensure that your personal contact data is entered accurately at www.condor.com, especially E-Mail address and phone number.
• Notifications can only be sent directly to you when your booking is made via www.condor.com, a Condor ticket counter or Condor reservation hotline. In case of a tour operator or travel agency booking, Condor is providing the information about delays, cancellation notice and diversions to these service partners and it remains their responsibility to notify the passengers accordingly.

3. Delivering baggage on time

It is our intention to deliver your baggage on time. However, in the event that this does not occur, we will strive to return your delayed baggage within 24 hours by making every reasonable effort. Notify a “lost and found” employee at the airport upon arrival if you cannot locate your baggage in order to complete a Property Irregularity Report (PIR).

• We will attempt to contact owners of unclaimed baggage when a name and address or telephone number is found on the baggage.
• In case of baggage irregularities you may also proceed to the www.condor.com website, to – flight info – baggage – baggage irregularities in order to find specific information about what to do next. For status updates to a delayed baggage report, you can search by entering the file reference of the report and passenger name at www.worldtracer.aero/cgi-bin/fileframe.exe

If there are not enough volunteers, we will deny boarding to passengers in accordance with our company policy on denied boarding priority.
• Offering a travel voucher if you voluntarily give up your seat. The value of a voucher is equal to or greater than the cash/check amount otherwise due including any fees associated with using the voucher. As material restriction (e.g. blackout dates) may apply, we will inform you about the terms & conditions before you accept to take the voucher.
