Find out about the regulations with other airlines: These regulations apply to Condor flights with feeder and connecting flights.
Find out about the regulations with other airlines: These regulations apply to Condor flights with feeder and connecting flights.
Feeder, connecting and onward flights are generally operated by the operating airline in conjunction with a Condor flight in Economy Class, regardless of the class booked for the Condor leg of your flight.
You booked a flight from Frankfurt to Rio de Janeiro via Recife. The flight from Frankfurt to Recife is operated by Condor, while the onward flight will take place with GOL after a stopover (break of more than 24 hours).
In this case, Condor’s baggage policy will apply to the flight to Recife, while those of GOL apply to the onward flight to Rio de Janeiro.
There are special baggage rules for flights to, from or via the USA, Canada and Puerto Rico. These rules have been issued by the US and Canadian authorities (US Department of Transportation or Canadian Transportation Agency).
Please note: Unfortunately, it is not possible to transport animals in the cargo hold on feeder and connecting flights with our partner airlines.
If you have booked a Condor flight that includes a feeder and/or connecting flight with another airline (provided this is listed on the same Condor ticket), the baggage conditions of the airline that operates the flight with the most significant carrier of the journey (normally the geographically-longest segment) apply to the entire journey.
However, the conditions of the respective airline operating the flight apply for registering extras or special services, such as sports equipment and seat reservations.Please contact the airline operating the feeder and/or connecting flight.
What is meant by "most significant carrier"?
The most significant carrier is determined by IATA Resolution 302, with which all airlines comply worldwide. This resolution divides the world up into three large tariff areas:
It is generally the case that the most significant carrier is that which flies over a tariff area first.
There are some exceptions for the most significant carrier:
This rule always applies up to the point at which the journey is interrupted for more than 24 hours (a stopover).
If your flight is being operated by an airline other than the airline listed on your flight ticket (a so-called codeshare flight), the checked baggage conditions specified on your booking confirmation apply.
Please contact the airline operating your flight directly to book extras (such as seat reservations or the transportation of animals or sports equipment).
If you have booked a Condor flight that involves a feeder and/or connecting flight with another airline, Condor’s policy will apply to the entire journey (including the return flight, providing this is included on the same Condor ticket).
Please refer to your booking confirmation for the exact baggage policy.
If you have booked a Condor flight that involves a feeder and/or connecting flight with another airline, and Condor is the first operator of the flight, Condor’s policy will apply to the entire journey (including the return flight, providing this is included on the same Condor ticket).
If Condor is not the airline operating your first flight, a special policy may apply to your entire flight itinerary. In this case, the free baggage allowance for the first flight is that for the class of travel booked on the Condor segment (Economy Class, Premium Economy Class, Business Class). If the operator of the feeder flight does not offer the class of travel booked on Condor, your checked baggage allowance will be at least the weight allowed in Economy Class.
Please refer to your booking confirmation for the exact baggage policy.
Codeshare flights arise from the collaboration of two or more airlines. They are jointly offering a flight. For instance, Alaska Airlines sells a ticket, but Condor is the one that actually operates the flight. Su makes the travel experience easier along the entire route.
You can book your entire trip on our Website. This also includes all connecting flights with our partner airlines. This way, all your flight data is in one place.
Generally, online check-in is available for connecting flights if all flights are part of a single booking and operated by the same airline or its partners. For separate bookings or longer stopovers, a new check-in may be required.
You can view details of all your flights on our website. To do this, go to "My trip".
If you've booked your entire flight connection directly with Condor, Condor's free baggage regulations also apply to feeder flights with other airlines. For this, you need to buy the feeder flights together with the Condor flights and have them noted on a Condor ticket. Find out more here.
The size and weight of carry-on luggage can vary depending on the airline. It's important to check the specific regulations of the respective airline.
In this case, please contact the operating airline for further procedures.
If the connecting flight is a feeder or connecting flight (e.g. with Lufthansa or Alaska Airlines), unfortunately, animals cannot be transported in the cargo hold.
No, you can only reserve seats for flights with Condor (flight number DE) or Marabu (flight number DI). If you've got a connecting flight, for instance with Lufthansa or Alaska Airlines, you need to book your seat directly with that airline.
Feeder and connecting flights with another airline can only be booked in Economy Class.
Responsibility depends on the type of booking you make. If you've booked all flights together, the first airline is usually responsible. For individual bookings, you have to make sure that you reach your connecting flight.
