Boeing 757-300:

Some people say that flying in a 757-300 feel like riding the subway, since the cabin is approx. 180ft long and only 11.5ft wide. But other than that the 757-300 is a very nice aircraft that offers quite a good seat width. Condor has also configured its aircraft with a nice seat pitch of about 33 inches, which just about matches many airlines' premium economy classes. There is video and audio entertainment on board. You can bring your own headphones (regular 3.5mm plug that you use for portable CD players etc.) or purchase a set on the aircraft. During approach and landing, the TV screens will show a live feed from a camera in the cockpit. Sadly they disable this feature in bad weather, since many passengers tend to get sick when watching the flight deck view during a rough approach. Also, the first monitor is stowed away for takeoff and landing, so from the first couple of rows you won't be able to enjoy this cool feature.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Good Economy Class

As mentioned before, this aircraft offers good seat width and pitch.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

No recline

These seats do not recline.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Close to the lavatory

These seats have limited or no recline and are really close to the lavatory. Try to avoid them if you can.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Missing window

These rows are missing a window each on both sides of the cabin. With a little effort you can look out of another window though. You will not be sitting in the dark completely, but your view is limited. The advantage of these seats is that usually service commences here, so you will be among thefirst to receive your meal.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bulkheads

These bulkhead seats offer good legroom. The tray table is located in your armrest, which actually separates you from your neighbor completely, so you won't disturb them every time you move. Sadly, bigger people may have a problem getting the table into a horizontal position, since it does not adjust to thicker legs. You might then find yourselves balancing food and drinks on an unstable diagonal surface rather than a real table.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Row 1

On most 757-300s there is a wall in front of row 1, reducing your legroom quite a bit. Of course nobody can recline into you. The tray table is located in your armrest, which actually separates you from your neighbor completely, so you won't disturb them every time you move. Sadly, bigger people may have a problem getting the table into a horizontal position, since it does not adjust to thicker legs. You might then find yourselves balancing food and drinks on an unstable diagonal surface rather than a real table.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

12D, E

These seats are surprisingly tight.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Exit

Great seats with good legroom. Since they are located in the entrance area (2L is usually used for boarding), they can be a little noisy and you might occasionally get bumped into - especially at the gate.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Door

Some passengers complain that this seat can be a little cold. Most people like it though, because it offers good legroom.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Exit

Nice seats with better than average legroom.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Exit

Nice seats with better than average legroom. The two-seat row is preferred by couples traveling together.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Last row

These seats have a very limited recline and are usually noisy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Former smoking section

This used to be the smoking section. Nowadays all flight are non smoking services, but some passengers report the usual problems like odors and tar stains remain.
