Hi everyone,
my boyfriend and I were looking at opportunities to fly the Boeing 757-300 once again. Since I am based in Hamburg for now, Condor offers many flights with that aircraft type and PMI is a sure option to get this aircraft.
We booked the flights roughly 8 hours before take-off. A last minute decision to spend 3 days on the island before flying back to Germany, HAM-PMI was booked on Condor Airlines and for the flight back we selected PMI-BRE on German airline Sundair. 
The HAM-PMI leg was booked in Economy Class for me and included hand baggage + hold baggage, for only 60 EUR. My boyfriend had the Economy Light ticket for 40 EUR with only a small hand bag included.   



The online check-in process allocated me automatically on an aisle seat for free. I was not happy about the outcome and decided to redo the check-in by paying 5 EUR to change my seat to a window seat (18F). My boyfriend was on a different booking number and got a window seat for free.

Be aware that some seats on this aircraft do not have windows (eg. seats 21 and 22 do not have windows). 18F had 2 nice windows along with an engine view.    


After a few hours of sleep, I was early at the Terminal 1 in order to proceed to the check-in.

The waiting time at the check-in was short with only a few groups/families in front of me. The lady at the check-in counter asked if I had the QR code issued from the form of the Spanish health authority . Luckily I found out about it a few hours before and was ready for this step, unlike some other people at the check-in counter next to me.

We headed to the security check point with hardly any waiting time.
A few food & drinks shops were open.

My seat 18F. The load on this flight was average and it turned out that I had 3 seats for me.

The seat pitch is large enough for me on this 2.5 hours flight.

I didn't buy anything.

We had to reach the West side of the runways which was a good opportunity for a view of the airport and the main city of Palma (North of the airport).

The walk towards the baggage claim was a bit long. There was a check point were passengers could fill the form for the Spanish Health department, if they didn't have the QR code yet.

We were not in a rush to get to the baggage claim and our luggage was already available when we arrived in that area.

Our hotel was not too far from the airport. We decided to take the airport bus A2 towards El Arenal.


Finally our flight path according to Flightradar24.

Conclusion

The overall flight was good. I was happy to have the opportunity to flight on the B757-300 again, but in Europe this time.
I did not see much of the cabin crew during the flight. They did what I expected of them in terms of safety and on board sales.
As mentioned before, drinks and snacks were available to buy, but I didn't buy anything.
IFE was showing cartoons, but only a few times the flight path was displayed. I would prefer to have the flight path available during all the flight.
The flight left on time and fulfilled our expectations especially for the low price paid a few hours before departure.

  • Thanks for sharing this FR

    A pleasure to fly such a beauty for an avgeek, maybe still not being in service for a long time

    Gorgeous pictures all along the flight

    See you soon

  • Thanks for sharing this review of Condor's beautiful 753 in the Covid-Era. It really is a beautiful aircraft and Condor have kept the interior looking fresh despite the age of this bird. It's been interesting to see how different carriers have handled in-flight services in times of Covid. In this case, DE have continued to offer a limited BOB service (with no menus for sanitary reasons), where many other carriers have dropped BOB temporarily.

    Beautiful photos and planespotting throughout ?

    Thanks so much for sharing!!

    • Hi Kévin, thank you for your comment!

      The BOB sales were probably not successful, but at least the BOB is available which is a step forward for aviation travel!

  • Thanks for this FR.

    Great price at such a short notice, and the load didn't seem too bad either.

    This is one fine looking plane and getting rarer and rarer.

    Hope Condor makes it ok out of this crisis.

    • Thank you Etienne for your comment.

      The load was good considering the current situation. Most passengers had the middle seat free.
