Looks like that the flight is not direct. There 1 stop either in Seatle, or Portland, or Vancouver. From there onward you go with another airline with whom they happen to have an agreement.

In any case had a look at how long is the sector from FRA to Seatle or Portland. If I got it correct, FRA to Portland is advertised as being 10:55 flight. Still, have to say that if they doing that with 296 Pax, then there is a remarkable benefit from the Winglets.

Happy research!

Well the longest I have with Condor is 4956 NM to Mauritius (MRU) in both directions direct - 296 pax.

If someone has better numbers please reply.

Delta operates Seattle/Shanghai with a 767-300 - 4967 NM.
But they have a large business class and no where near 296 seats.

BTW, the installed fuel burn of the RB211-524G/H was significantly worse on the 767 relative to Pratt and GE. That's a big reason only 40 were built (again, it's never been clear to me why the RB211 worked better on the 747-400 than 767, although installed weight (not dry weight) was often mentioned as a problem).
