Register medical equipment: Inform us as early as possible – at least 48 hours before your departure – if you wish to take a medical device, medication or accessories with you. The service can only be booked for flights with a DE flight number. It is also automatically booked for your return flight if this is operated with a DE flight number. For other flights, please contact the relevant airline.

If you want to use the device during the flight, please note that there are no power sockets and the device can only be operated with batteries. Additionally, a prior certificate of airworthiness is required for use on board. For this purpose, the form for medical clearance must be filled out.
Please send us this form filled out by your doctor at least three months and no later than 48 hours before your planned departure via our Fit to Fly online form.

Unfortunately, it is not permitted to carry oxygen containers with gaseous or liquid oxygen. You are welcome to take a portable oxygen concentrator with you. Please register this with us in advance.

Yes, you can take necessary medication in your carry-on baggage. For liquid medications, the normal rules for liquids apply.
Yes, you can take medication with you. Please ask your doctor to issue you a letter for this purpose. This letter should confirm the name and type of the medication, including the dosage. Your doctor should also specify what you need the medication and medical supplies for. Items such as syringes or EpiPens might otherwise be flagged by local security or customs authorities. The medication must be in its original packaging and clearly labelled.
Yes, you can take medical devices on the plane. Please register the devices beforehand.
You can't transport containers with gaseous or liquid oxygen on a Condor flight. You can therefore only use an FAA-approved oxygen concentrator. You have to register this before the flight. Here you'll find a form for questions and signing up.
Is your device not listed? Use the form anyway or give us a call.
