I flew from New York to Germany in business class on Condor's brand new Airbus A330neo. The low-cost carrier provided exactly what I expected.

• German low-cost carrier Condor flies between Frankfurt and a dozen US cities, like Seattle and New York.
• The airline recently introduced a brand new business class, which is fitted onto its Airbus A330neo jets.
• I tried the product from New York to Frankfurt and it was exactly what I expected from the leisure carrier.

German budget airline Condor is a little-known carrier to many Americans, but it has been flying since 1955 and was the first-ever leisure airline to fly the legendary Boeing 747.

Condor has been serving the North American market for years, with the airline connecting Frankfurt to 12 cities across the US and another three in Canada.

While the airline was founded on leisure travel with economy cabins, it started transitioning to a more hybrid business model in 2014 with the introduction of a lie-flat business class seat.

Condor is hoping the strategy will lure in more deep-pocket travelers, and the airline has made improvements to the premium cabin along the way.

"We have to build awareness and we have to improve the product recognition that is in the market," Condor's director of sales for the Americas, Mikko Turtiainen, told Insider at a media event in February.

The latest edition of business class was introduced on Condor's A330-900neo when it was delivered in December 2022, launching on flights to the US a few months later.

Having flown Condor's previous business class product, I was excited to experience the new cabin first-hand on a recent trip from New York-JFK to Frankfurt, Germany. Here's what the flight was like.
