Condor, legally incorporated as Condor Flugdienst GmbH, is a German leisure airline based in Frankfurt and a subsidiary of the insolvent Thomas Cook Group. They have been given a E380m subsidy by the German government,

Condor has about 50 planes currently in operation and, according to the German government, were a far better bet to put money into than TC. There are also a couple of other German based Thomas Cook offshoot companies that'll continue to trade with customers in Europe and Scandinavia.

What's Brexit got to do with this? TC has been losing money for years and well before the referendum.

Nothing bizarre about it Ian. You often see packages advertised as cheaper than flight only. Many people book the packages and then, on arrival at the destination, tell the rep that they won't be using the hotel but going to their own or friend's properties.
