Condor Launches Frankfurt–Calgary Route | Prince of Travel

Last spring, Condor launched a new route between Frankfurt and Edmonton, offering Albertans another direct option to Europe. That route is set to return in Summer 2024.

Last fall, Condor announced its intention to bring back direct service between Frankfurt and Calgary, which it last operated in 2019. The service has been confirmed, and it’s now bookable throughout the Summer 2024 schedule, both with cash and points.

Condor’s Frankfurt–Calgary Route

Condor is set to bring back service that links Frankfurt and Calgary for the Summer 2024 schedule. 

The twice-weekly service will start on May 20, 2024, and runs through to September 12, 2024.

The westbound flight from Frankfurt clocks in at 9 hours 45 minutes, and flying from Calgary to Frankfurt is set for 9 hours 25 minutes.

Flights will depart on Monday and Thursday, with flight times as follows:

• DE2440 Frankfurt (FRA) to Calgary (YYC), departing 12:10pm and arriving 1:55pm
• DE2441 Calgary (YYC) to Frankfurt (FRA), departing 4:55pm and arriving 10:20am the next day

Fortunately, the route is served by Condor’s flagship Airbus A330-900neo aircraft, complete with economy, premium economy, and business class cabins.

The flights are loaded into Condor’s website, and can be booked throughout the schedule.

Booking Condor’s Frankfurt–Calgary Flights

As it stands, the best way to book flights with Condor using points is through Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan.

Flights in either direction price out as follows:

• Economy: 25,000 miles
• Premium economy: 45,000 miles
• Business class: 55,000 miles

Throughout the Summer 2024 schedule, availability in economy and premium economy is fairly widespread, and flights in business class are available on many dates in July and August.

It’s worth noting that the pricing and availability patterns are similar on the Edmonton route, which is also served by the A330-900neo in Summer 2024.

Keep in mind that Condor also operates a number of other routes between Frankfurt and destinations across North America. In Canada, you’ll find direct flights to Vancouver (YVR), Toronto (YYZ), and Halifax (YHZ).

Unfortunately, the airport at Whitehorse (YXY) isn’t able to accommodate the A330-900neo, and this longstanding route has been put on pause for at least two years while the airport is renovated, but may never return.
