Condor's 757-300
October 2025
With Condor retiring their 757-300s at the end of the summer 2025 schedule, and the farewell flight set for November 5th, I knew time was running out. I barely had any decent shots of the type in my archive — and given how iconic the stretched 753 looks in Condor’s livery, that just wasn’t acceptable. So, a friend and I planned a trip to Palma de Mallorca in mid-October. Not only is the island’s landscape stunning, but Palma de Mallorca also has up to six daily Condor 757-300 flights — making it one of the best places to catch them in action before they disappear from the skies.
This trip was all about getting those final, shots: line-ups, landings, night shots, and shots of the aircraft taxiing — everything. Here’s a summary of some of the highlights from the island, plus the return flight to Frankfurt aboard the red D-ABOM, Seat 16A.
