Welcome onboard Condor's A330-900neo! On 29 June 2024, I flew from Frankfurt back home to Vancouver after an amazing week in Europe, visiting Frankfurt briefly but more importantly for the Global Leadership Exchange, a mental health conference in Utrecht uniting service providers and voices of mental health advocacy. I arrived in Frankfurt on a German Airways Embraer 190 from Amsterdam Schiphol a few hours before this Condor flight.
Like my outbound flight, this was an amazing experience, with excellent service particularly with the friendly and helpful crew and the tasty food. This was my second time onboard the A330neo, and I have been very impressed with how quiet the engines are, as well as the well-redesigned Airspace cabin that debuted with this aircraft type when it first entered service in 2019. Highlights include spectacular Arctic scenery of Greenland and northern Canada.
A special shoutout to the @frayme_cadre team for organizing our flights to GLE including this one! Looking forward to more A330neo flights in the future!
Thank you to the Frayme team for such an opportunity and for helping out logistics for this trip!
