That is why we now provide an inexpensive offer for all those who want a holiday flight at a low price without lots of extras. The new pricing structure enables customers to create their Condor flight even more flexibly and to suit their own personal needs and requirements. That's Condor 'My Way'," sums up Condor Managing Director Ralf Teckentrup. "Our passengers are able to choose the on-board service that suits them, and save money where they want to." The new Plus Option gives travelers who appreciate having a flexible booking more flexible conditions for changing and canceling their flight, whatever the route. For a charge of €30 on short- and medium-haul flights, and €60 on long-haul flights, passengers can change their flights free of charge three times up to 24 hours before departure, and in the event of cancellation up to 29 days before departure the full price of the ticket will be refunded.

Cuba is a fascinating island, and Condor is a respected and traditional airline. So the conditions for a successful long- haul connection could not be better.” Varadero will meet everyone’s expectations of the Caribbean: bright white beaches with fine sand, and the sea a bright turquoise that almost seems to glow.
