Famous traveler Noel Phillips shared his impressions of flying with Condor Airlines. He described the plane as a "monstrosity" but was pleasantly surprised by the luxurious business class and quality food.

Phillips, who regularly travels the world using different types of transportation from different companies, flew from Cancun to Frankfurt aboard an Airbus A330 Neo. The exterior design of the aircraft surprised the traveler with colorful "prison" uniforms, which contrasted sharply with the more traditional white design of A330 Neo aircraft from other companies. The video was posted on his YouTube channel.

Fortunately, the business class interior was much nicer. Noel noted the spacious 1-2-1 seat arrangement, which compares favorably with the 2-3-2 type of the company's competitors, such as Lufthansa.

During the flight, the traveler was treated to a three-course gourmet dinner, which far exceeded his expectations, as the ticket was quite affordable.

The traveler noted that the food was better than in Norse Airlines' premium economy class, which he had flown before, and at the same time it was cheaper.

Overall, Noel Phillips recommends Condor Airlines to those looking for comfort and quality service at affordable prices.

"I have to say that this flight was much cheaper than my last transatlantic flight, which I took with Norse Airlines in the premium economy cabin, but it was just a premium economy seat," the passenger teased.
