Condor introduces auctions for the best seats..... pushing the price of air travel higher.

In a move to make more money from passengers, the German leisure airline Condor is introducing a way for customers to bid against each other to get better seats for more money.

The airline will auction off available seats in Business Class or Premium Economy Class on selected long-haul flights. Short-haul and medium-haul flights will be added soon.

Auctions will start 24 hours before and end approximately 60 minutes before departure. During this period, all participants can follow the auction live in the free SeatBoost app. To participate, Condor guests need the app, a credit card for payment and they should have checked in for their flight in advance. Online check-in is possible via the Condor app or online.

Within 24 hours before departure, guests can check the SeatBost app to see if an auction is available for their flight. The participant with the highest bid at the end of the auction is awarded the desired upgrade. Only the person winning pays the amount bid. The new boarding pass for Business Class or Premium Economy Class is displayed directly in the SeatBoost app.
