Condor offers a wide range of payment methods that you can use to pay for our products and services without cash. Credit cards are becoming more popular as a simple and secure means of paying for online bookings and purchases on board our aircraft. We've put together a list of what you need to bear in mind on this page.
You can use the following credit cards on our website to make your online booking:

If you have selected “credit card/debit card" as your payment method, you will be asked to specify the issuing bank, credit card number, cardholder's name, expiration date and the security code on your card (usually CVC or CVV code).
Credit card payment on board
If you wish to pay on board with your credit card, the general credit card limit does not apply. Instead, the limit for offline transactions is used. This means that payments can only be made up to the amount of the individual offline limit. If you have any questions about your offline limit, please contact your card issuer.
In addition to the credit card number, each credit card also has a security code, which you must also enter each time you make a booking. The code is located on the back of your card in the signature field.
Common abbreviations for this code include Card Validation Code (CVC), Card Verification Value (CVV), Card Verification Number (CVN), Card Security Code (CSC) and Card Code Verification (CCV).
Discover, JCB, Mastercard and VISA use a 3-digit CVC that is printed in the signature field on the back of the credit card.
American Express and Diners Club use a 4-digit CVV code that is printed on the front of the credit card above the credit card number.
3D SecureTM is a security standard developed for credit card payments online that complies with the new legal requirements.
Condor complies with the new legal requirements and has enabled strong customer authentication on all of its own payment transactions. Strong customer authentication is a requirement of the Second EU Payment Services Directive (PSD2) for payment service providers in the European Economic Area (EEA) and/or credit and debit cards issued in the EEA. Online payments must be confirmed by at least two factors.
The procedure offers optimal protection against card misuse online and is designed to reduce the risk of fraud through identity fraud when paying online.
Depending on the credit card provider, this process has its own name:

Please note that Condor will never ask you to send your bank details by email. This data is entered exclusively on the payment page of our websites and/or through your bank's authentication procedure.
If 3D Secure authentication with your card is required by your bank and you are using it for the first time, you must register first with your bank.
You can find more information about 3D Secure on your bank’s website.
When paying for flights departing from Germany, Denmark, Finland, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway or the Czech Republic using company credit cards or corporate cards (as defined by the card issuer), an optional payment charge (OPC) applies.
This fee is calculated by multiplying the total price shown at the end of the booking process (including the prices for extras and additional flights, where applicable) by a specific percentage, which varies depending on the card brand (see below).
The OPC is limited to a maximum amount of €25.00 or the corresponding amount in the currency selected for payment. The exact amount of the OPC will be displayed during the payment process after entering the credit card details.
The OPC applies uniformly to all booking and travel classes.
No new OPC is charged for paying rebooking fees or subsequently added extras with company credit cards or corporate cards. The OPC is non-refundable in the event of cancellation.
