How to add your dog to a booking

Register your dog with Condor before you fly. For the cabin you can book up to 24 hours before departure; for the hold, at least 48 hours before departure and only on non-stop Condor flights. You then get an email confirmation.
If you connect on a partner airline, contact that airline to arrange the pet; Condor's fees cover Condor flights only.
Print and fill in Condor's Live Animal Acceptance Checklist, and present it at the check-in counter at the start of your journey.
Dogs flying to the USA: bring the CDC Dog Import Form receipt to check-in and entry.

Condor says the price is per person and per leg. For a trip with connections or a return flight, you add up the amount for each Condor flight, for example Palma de Mallorca to Frankfurt to New York, then the return.
These prices apply only to Condor flights. On a segment flown by a partner airline, that airline's fees apply.
If you don't register in advance, Condor says the cabin fee at the airport starts at $145 one way, and the hold fee starts at $170 or $260 one way, depending on box size. Unregistered animals can't be guaranteed carriage.
Condor lists the price tables by destination, and some destinations in the tables (for example Antigua and Barbuda, Panama, and Armenia for the hold) also appear on Condor's list of places pets can't fly to or can't fly in the hold. Confirm your route with Condor before booking.
