I Flew The STRANGEST Transatlantic Route...

About three years ago, I made a video talking about one of the most unique transatlantic flights that Canada gets - Condor's seasonal service between Frankfurt and Whitehorse, Yukon.

In September 2022, I finally got to fly that very route!

I remember years ago when you were in Whitehorse and mentioned that Condor flies there from Frankfurt once a week during the summer. And then your following video explaining how popular of a summer destination Canada is for Germany, which completely surprised me! Glad you were able to finally take this trip, you inspire me to try out long and unique routes like this.

Condor also flies from Frankfurt to Fairbanks in Alaska which is pretty unique since Fairbanks is the smallest city in the USA to fly transatlantic

Not only is Yukon a popular destination for Germans, but the most spoken unofficial language, one that isn't English nor French, in Yukon is German (with over two percent in a 2011 census stating it as their mother tongue)! "Fühlen Sie sich bei uns ganz einfach zuhause" at 16:44 means "Simply feel at home with us", which some Germans chose to do, and it makes sense that they'd want to keep this flight going for the Germans living there as their connection to their homeland too. And I can't blame them, Yukon is quite a gorgeous place.

Even though you didn't get the airplane model you wanted, the A320 with the retro-style Condor livery is still pretty neat. A neat souvenir for a neat and unique flight like this one

I flew Whitehorse to Frankfurt Aug.23. Thoroughly enjoyed it. I also took their A330neo from Fra to Las green strpes and all. Loved the new plane smell. Premium economy and window seats every time.

As a German myself I've flown Condor a few times, however only on the A321 and the 757-300. And maaan, how I will miss the 767.
By the way, if you ever travel to Germany (the western part, to be precise) you should give the visitor's terrace at Cologne/Bonn airport a try, you can get some amazing shots when the right runway is in use. Great video!

When I was growing up in Alaska, I took the Condor route from Anchorage-Frankfurt round-trip. It was easily the most fun I’ve ever had on a flight. I really enjoyed the Arctic views, great food, and comfortable flight. Thanks for the throwback!

I've been waiting for this video ever since that documentary

[frozengoose]

Another great video! Condors visits here to Whitehorse are very welcomed. Interesting thing is we would fly the Condor flight crew between Whitehorse and Anchorage on chartered Dornier 228 just for the crew. Great views on that flight flying over Kluane National Park.

Certainly beats flying from Frankhorse to Whitefurt

[BayAreaTraveler]

Wow, totally enjoyed this trip report! Views are magnificently amazing! It always puzzles me why a lot of people sitting next to the window quite often have their window shades closed. They are missing wonderful scenery from the air.

I am absolutely blown away that Condor of all airlines has been flying this route for over 20 years! Wow! Since I am a Boeing fan and the 767s are quite rare and slowly being swapped for newer/ more efficient planes I would have been so excited to fly one across the ocean! Have you ever been to YellowKnife?!?! Very similar in size and lots to do and see with beautiful views!!!! The 767 is a beautiful aircraft btw!! What a treat thank you for sharing!

I really appreciate your coverage of unique flights like this and also regional airlines like Air North. Your videos are a delight to watch and I love seeing them pop into my notifications inbox. Also, hello from Whitehorse! I hope you enjoyed your second visit!

[WillGallagher]

Flown Condor a few times and love choosing them whenever they are available. I think the value for the money is typically unbeatable and their catering is great!

[brianmcdonald]

Absolutely loved this video! The views of the rugged barreness of the high artic are stunning! You are so lucky to have been able to take this flight! I remembered the video you made of why this route exists. Didn't realize it was three years ago! Thanks!

[linesided]

So cool! Economy looks perfect on the 767 - more room on this "discount" arm of LH than on their mainline 787!

[jcbaily]

It looked like a fairly smooth flight and the food did look very tasty. My first Polar flight was on SAS DC-7C from Anchorage to Copenhagen. We departed in a snow storm and the views were mostly covered with clouds and after 14 hours and 3 meals. served on pillows on your lap, we landed in Stavanger, Norway because of morning fog in Copenhagen but we soon took off for the 1hr 45min flight to end our journey. Thanks for the memories! Happy Holidays!

[carloslunghard]

A very well narrated video. I enjoyed watching it, I even felt your excitement and enthusiasim throughout the flight.
I was part of the Condor family, having flown as a Purser for more than 20 yrs on the B767. Your video brought me back wonderful memories.
Thanks for appreciating Condor and its product.
Merry Christmas ! 🙂

[jstarASMR]

I can’t believe a route like this exists, so freaking interesting!

I really hope Condor is able to keep this flight with the slightly bigger A330-900.

Fantastic Video, greetings from Germany!

[jackyyuen]

the view of Arctic Canada is amazing. Never seen before. thank you very much for this great video.
