For sun-seekers and surfers, San Diego is an ideal holiday destination with around 300 days of sunshine a year. New Orleans, on the other hand, as the “cradle of jazz” makes the heart of any jazz lover leap for joy. Located at the mouth of the Mississippi River, the French Quarter, in particular, with its colourful houses and nightlight district on Bourbon Street is worth a trip. Pittsburgh is a perfect starting point for a tour through the USA or Canada. Condor will serve San Diego with three flights a week in the Summer of 2017 and New Orleans and Pittsburgh with two.

As well as the new destinations, two new American routes are also in the summer flight plan of Germany’s most popular airline. Flights will leave Munich for Las Vegas and Seattle twice a week. This will add flights from South Germany in the summer months to the year-round flight plan from Frankfurt to the two metropolises.

Travel from the USA to Germany and Europe is also enjoying a rising demand. “Americans in our destination areas are also very fond of travelling and we are pleased to be able to offer them a multitude of exciting travel destinations in Europe with the new and low-cost Condor direct flights to Germany and our attractive airline partnerships,” comments Ralf Teckentrup, discussing the Condor direct flights to Frankfurt and Munich which take place several times a week.
