Condor Baggage Guide

Condor Baggage Allowance and Fees (2026)

The Condor baggage allowance gives every passenger a small personal item, then sets your carry-on and checked baggage by your fare and your route. The cheapest Economy Zero fare is personal item only, while Economy Classic, Green, and Flex add a carry-on and a checked bag, and Premium Economy and Business include more. On routes to and from the United States Condor counts pieces of baggage, while most other routes count total weight.

Condor sets your allowance by fare and route, and prices baggage by flight zone. The figures here are for travel to and from the United States, where Condor counts pieces. Adding a bag online up to 8 hours before departure is far cheaper than at the airport.

The Short Answer

Condor includes a small personal item up to 40 x 30 x 15 cm on every fare, including the cheapest Economy Zero. A carry-on bag and a checked bag come with Economy Classic, Green, and Flex, while Economy Zero adds them for a fee. On routes to and from the United States, Condor uses a piece concept: Economy includes one checked bag up to 23 kg, Premium Economy one up to 32 kg, and Business two up to 32 kg. Most other routes use a weight concept, with a total of 20 kg in Economy, 25 kg in Premium Economy, and 30 kg in Business. Each bag can be up to 158 cm and 32 kg. Adding a checked bag costs about $150 online and up to $180 at the airport, and booking online up to 8 hours before departure saves up to 50 percent.

Checked Bag Fees And Allowance

Condor checked bag fees and allowance by fare

On Condor the checked baggage allowance is built into your fare, and you pay only to add a bag beyond it. These figures are for travel to and from the United States, where Condor counts pieces. The cost to add a bag is far higher at the airport than online.

Allowances and fees are from the official Condor free baggage allowance and additional baggage pages. The figures above are for travel to and from the United States and Canada, where the fees are charged in US dollars. Other zones use a weight concept and different prices. Confirm your exact fee in My Booking before you pay.

Carry On And Economy Zero

Condor carry-on is limited, except by fare

Every Condor fare includes a small personal item. A full carry-on bag comes with Economy Classic and higher, plus Economy Light on Condor’s listed European city short-haul routes, and Condor does weigh cabin baggage, so the limits are worth knowing.

Personal item

A personal item on every fare

Every fare includes one small personal item up to 40 x 30 x 15 cm and up to 6 kg, placed under the seat. Economy Classic, Green, Flex, Premium Economy, and Business add a carry-on bag up to 55 x 40 x 23 cm.

Economy Zero

Zero is personal item only

Economy Zero, the cheapest fare, includes only the small personal item, with no carry-on bag and no checked bag. You can book a carry-on in advance for about $35, or pay about $90 to $120 at the gate, so add it early if you need it.

Personal item onlyCarry-on $35 in advance
Weight

Condor weighs cabin bags

Total hand baggage is 8 kg (17 lb) in Economy, 10 kg (22 lb) in Premium Economy, and 16 kg (35 lb) in Business, with up to 10 kg per piece. Condor weighs carry-ons at check-in and sometimes the gate, so a bag a kilogram over the limit can trigger a fee.

Carry-on and personal item rules are from the official Condor baggage guidance. From May 1, 2026, Condor increased the cabin sizes to a 55 x 40 x 23 cm carry-on and a 40 x 30 x 15 cm personal item, the figures used here. Cabin acceptance depends on space, and a bag may be placed in the hold if the cabin is full. Checked October 6, 2026: Condor’s carry-on table includes a cabin bag with Economy Light in its listed European city short-haul category. Check the itinerary’s route category when comparing fare allowances.

Size And Weight

Condor bag size and weight limits

Cabin bags are weighed and measured at check-in, and a checked bag over the limits adds an overweight or oversize fee. The total size is length plus width plus height.

Free And Extra Bags

Who gets free checked bags on Condor

On Condor the free checked allowance follows your fare, not elite status or a co-brand card. The higher your fare or cabin, the more you check at no extra cost.

Source and confirmation note

Fare allowances are from the official Condor free baggage allowance and additional baggage pages. Condor’s free checked allowance comes from your fare, not a frequent flyer status or a co-brand card. On weight concept routes you can split or pool the total weight, but US routes count pieces, so confirm your allowance in My Booking.

Delayed, Lost, And Damaged

Tracking, delays, and baggage claims

If a bag is late, missing, or damaged, Condor traces it through WorldTracer and the steps are clear. Reporting it before you leave the airport matters most.

Report

Report and track your bag

Report a missing bag at the Condor Lost and Found desk before you leave the airport, or online through the Condor WorldTracer portal. You receive a Property Irregularity Report with a file reference number, and you track the bag online with that number and your surname. The airport handling agent traces it for the first 5 days.

Deadlines

Claim windows

Report damaged baggage within 7 days of your flight, and a delayed bag is treated as lost after 21 days. If a bag is delayed, request reimbursement for emergency purchases within 21 days of delivery, keep your receipts, and keep the costs reasonable.

Coverage

Liability limits

On international flights the Montreal Convention sets Condor liability at up to 1,519 SDR, about 1,900 euros or roughly $2,000, for a lost, delayed, or damaged bag. Condor repairs or replaces damaged baggage through its service partners.

The reporting steps, the WorldTracer tracking, and the claim windows are from the official Condor customer service plan and baggage irregularity guidance. The SDR value moves with exchange rates, so the dollar and euro figures are approximate. Confirm the current limit on condor.com before relying on it.

Special Cases

Sports gear, pets, and route differences

Beyond the standard bag, these are the cases Condor treats separately: sporting equipment, pets, and the flight zones that change the numbers above.

Sports gear

Gear is special baggage

Bicycles, skis, golf, surf, and diving equipment are special baggage. Within the size and weight limits they can count toward your allowance, and otherwise they are charged by route. Register them in advance, since space is limited, and gear over 32 kg or over 158 cm follows the overweight and oversize rules.

Register in advancePriced by route
Pets

In the cabin or the hold

A small dog or cat can travel in the cabin within the pet and carrier weight limit, or in the hold on most aircraft, for a fee that depends on the route. Book in advance, since cabin and hold space is limited and some aircraft cannot carry pets in the hold.

Cabin or holdBook in advance
Zones

Pieces or total weight

Condor prices baggage by flight zone. To and from the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico it counts pieces, while most other zones count total weight, which you can split across bags or pool with travelers on the same booking. On a codeshare, the operating airline’s rules apply.

On US routes, a bag from 24 to 32 kg adds about $120 at the airport, and a bag over 158 cm adds about $240, with both together about $360. These surcharges are payable at the airport only, so it is cheaper to add an extra piece online than to overpack one bag.
