Flight DE2314, operated by the German leisure airline Condor, offers non-stop service several times a week from Düsseldorf Airport (DUS) to the popular Egyptian sun-drenched destination of Hurghada (HRG) on the Red Sea. This medium-haul flight, which takes just under 5 hours, is in particularly high demand during the autumn and winter months. To ensure your holiday gets off to a relaxing start, we have compiled all the essential details regarding this flight—including seat configuration, baggage allowance, and on-board service—for your convenience.
The Aircraft: State-of-the-art comfort in the Condor Airbus
For routes to Egypt, Condor primarily deploys its modernized short- and medium-haul aircraft – frequently the Airbus A320neo or the larger Airbus A321neo. These models feature advanced engines and aerodynamic enhancements that result in significantly lower fuel consumption. Thanks to their modern “Airspace” cabin design, these latest-generation aircraft offer larger overhead storage compartments and pleasant LED lighting, which helps to mitigate jet lag.
Seating chart tips for flight DE2314
- Premium Economy: Condor offers a Premium Economy Class on medium-haul flights. The middle seat is guaranteed to remain empty, providing significantly more room to move. Furthermore, these seats are located in the front rows (rows 1 to 5), allowing you to be among the first to disembark upon arrival in Egypt.
- Emergency exit seats: For maximum legroom in standard Economy Class, it is advisable to book seats in the rows located at the overwing emergency exits (depending on the aircraft type, these are usually rows 11 and 12, or 14 and 15). Please note, however, that all carry-on baggage must be stowed in the overhead compartments during takeoff and landing.
🧳 Carry-on Baggage and Comfort Aboard Flight DE2314 to Hurghada
Passengers flying with Condor to the Red Sea – a journey lasting approximately 4.5 to 5 hours – should pay close attention to baggage limits. For medium-haul flights to Egypt, the airline typically operates aircraft from the Airbus A320 family. Condor enforces strict dimensions for carry-on baggage: the standard, larger piece of carry-on luggage must not exceed 55 x 40 x 20 centimeters and must weigh no more than 8 kg. A small, complimentary personal item (such as a handbag or a small backpack) – which must be stowed under the seat in front of you – must not exceed dimensions of 40 x 30 x 10 centimeters.
To avoid costly additional charges or having to check in luggage at the counter, it is advisable to use travel bags and trolley suitcases that strictly comply with carry-on baggage requirements when flying on vacation.
More legroom and comfort on board
In the standard economy class of Condor’s A320 fleet, the seat pitch is approximately 76 centimeters. If you are looking for a bit more comfort on your way to a holiday in Egypt, you can reserve the popular “Premium Seats” – which offer extra legroom – for an additional fee. Since there are no power outlets at the seats in economy class on short- and medium-haul flights, it is highly recommended to pack a compact, high-capacity power bank in your carry-on luggage so you can use the onboard streaming portal. Additionally, an ergonomic memory-foam neck pillow can help you sleep comfortably by providing optimal support for your head during the flight.
Carry-on and Checked Baggage for Travel to Egypt
At Condor, baggage policies depend significantly on the fare booked. The most affordable “Light” fare includes only one small piece of carry-on luggage (40 x 30 x 20 cm), which must fit under the seat in front of you. Those who book the standard “Classic” fare are entitled to check one piece of luggage weighing up to 20 kg at no extra cost. As security checks at Hurghada Airport are known to be very strict for return flights, it is essential to adhere to the weight limit to avoid costly excess baggage charges at the check-in counter.
Meals and In-flight Service
On flight DE2314, passengers can take advantage of Condor’s “buy-on-board” service. Hot meals, snacks, and both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages can be purchased directly on board from the cabin crew. Our tip: If you would like to enjoy a hot meal during the approximately 4.5-hour flight, we recommend pre-ordering it online via the Condor website up to 24 hours before departure – this saves money and ensures you get your preferred choice.
⚖️ Flight delayed or cancelled? Your rights as a passenger
Whether you are on a long-haul flight to Nairobi or heading off on a holiday flight to Egypt, experiencing a flight delay, missing a connecting flight, or facing a last-minute cancellation is incredibly frustrating. What many passengers don’t realize is that under the European Air Passenger Rights Regulation (EC) No. 261/2004, you are often entitled to statutory compensation—ranging from €250 to €600 per person – in the event of delays of 3 hours or more, or last-minute cancellations. You can claim this compensation for incidents occurring up to three years in the past, regardless of the original ticket price.
