Condor

Allowed dimensions: 55x40x20 cm · Maximum weight: 8 kg

The context in a few words

Condor flies from Allemagne on a full-service model inherited from traditional aviation. In practice, that translates to a more permissive baggage policy than budget airlines — though it's still worth checking the exact figures before check-in.

55x40x20 cm for 8 kg: well within norm. No upside surprise, but no nasty ones either, provided your declared bag matches what passes under the gauge.

On the ground, posted rules and counter practice don't always align. Condor publishes 55x40x20 cm and 8 kg as the upper bound, and gate agents typically allow 1–2 cm of leeway before routing to hold. Don't bank on it — tolerance evaporates the moment the flight fills up.

In daily use, dimensional checks are less frequent than on low-cost airlines, but the rules apply once a flight fills up. On busy short-haul routes, an oversized cabin bag may end up in the hold for free — a service that quickly becomes mandatory.

Don't overlook the allowed personal item — it's often the trick that saves a light trip. Handbag, laptop sleeve or small backpack, as long as it slides under the seat in front. On Condor, that's where books, headphones, water and flight essentials live without eating into the main carry-on.
