How Condor treats fishing equipment

With Condor, fishing equipment travels in the hold rather than as a long cabin item. Rods, reel, landing net, boots and tackle box must be packed together as one package. — Condor.

The airline charges a sports-equipment service each way. The airline currently shows “44,99–69,99 €” · 120–135 €. Your final total still depends on the ticket and the flight actually operated. — Condor.

03

Weight, length and dimensions to check

Condor publishes ≤ 30 kg for weight and “≤ 300 × 40 × 60 cm” for size. Weigh the closed tube with foam, end caps and everything packed inside. — Condor.

Our 145 × Ø10 cm benchmark equals roughly 165 cm when length, width and height are added together. Do not confuse this total with a length-only limit. — Condor.

04

Declare the tube and navigate bag drop

Add the equipment while buying the ticket or in Manage Booking before online check-in. · mandatory At the airport, check in at the main desk first, then follow directions to the oversized-baggage belt. Keep a screenshot of the confirmation, particularly when your itinerary includes a connection. — Condor.

05

Protect the rods and separate accessories

Use genuinely protective packaging or, for baggage-handling impacts, preferably a rigid tube. Immobilise every rod section, keep guides away from the wall, and label the tube both outside and inside. — Condor.

Pack hooks, knives, pliers and tools securely in checked baggage. For an electric reel, lithium battery or CO₂ cartridge, separately check the dangerous-goods rules of both airline and airport. — Condor.

06

What the published rule does not establish

The airline publishes a reasonably specific fishing rule, but acceptance still depends on hold space, aircraft and operating carrier. Meeting a dimension is not automatic boarding approval. — Condor.

On a codeshare, follow the rule of the carrier operating each segment. Ask for written confirmation when two airlines appear on the ticket. — Condor.

07

Fit for a 145 cm Rodborne tube

The reference dimensions fall within the published limit. Recheck weight, number of pieces and operating flight before ordering. — Condor.
