Having flown from Manchester to Zimbabwe on ethiopian in economy I can honestly say the hospitality you receive from the crew is amazing. They make you feel really welcome and are there for you anytime you need anything. They provide you with such an amazing experience
So great to see an Ethiopian airline review! Flew economy from LHR to Addis Ababa with them and their hospitality is amazing!! One of my best ever flights in economy
I flew with them from LAX to Dublin. From the time I booked my flight and traveled back and forth , I give them a A. They knew I was flying to Dublin for mom,s funeral. The ticket was reasonable. I highly recommend this airline. All crew members we're angels. God bless them.
Thanks for watching! Also, the flight was "SHOCKINGLY IMPRESSIVE" because I haven't heard anyone rave about Ethiopian before, so I didn't have high expectations going in🙂 Glad I got to try them and see for myself!
Nonstop Dan hey Dan , I plan to be a Indian version of you reviewing all commercial airliners , just like u do. Wish me the best of luck!! Hopefully in the future
I flew on Ethiopian business class last July from YYZ to ADD. 13 hours with them and the crew was fantastic!! Very attentive and very welcoming. Food was terrific too!!
ET airlines has been profitable for over 25 years. They are a superb airlines and well managed with brilliant strategic planning. They go from better to better all the times.
And one thing, I flew economy and was treated so kindly. And the supervisor came over to me and gave her condolences. Like I say a big thank you to them for the kindnesses
Flew Ethiopian from Bangkok to Addis and Nairobi two weeks later Nairobi to Addis and Singapore. The food out of Addis is out of this world. The Addis Singapore flight was one of the best meals that I’ve had in ages. Love Ethiopian Airlines.
I’m a fan of uploading in chronological order Dan 👌🏼 Also, “makes the Roman alphabet look like language for dummies” and “transform into a giant pad thai” gave me a good laugh 😂 I would love to fly Ethiopian one day as well.
Love your premium videos. I’ve seen s lot of good stuff about Ethiopian. I’m toying with the idea of a trip with them. I’ve also heard some interesting things about Addis airport. I can’t wait for you to do long haul with them!
Another great video Dan. Though I am biased as an Ethiopian, I agree that ET is a great airline. Wait till you fly our 789s and A350s, those are really nice.
Have you seen my video on Ethiopian A350 in business already? So nice to see all this again on another flight, same menu design, same seats, same brought colors. I also thought that it's a pretty good airline. Maybe the best in Africa! And I also love unrestricted legroom! Well done as always, Dan!
The point about Ethiopian being successful and profitable is an important one not only because of the economic zone from which they base their ops but also the altitude of their home base in Addis--7600' MSL. A lot of their long haul flights originating in Addis require a fuel stop (i.e. Addis-Lome-Washington) because they simply cannot depart with the amount of fuel needed to make the full trip (like BAW 1 out of LCY, requiring the fuel stop in Shannon). Ethiopian is profitable because it keenly takes advantage of ICAO freedoms 3-5, such as the route featured.
@@tilethio More difficult, primarily because at higher altitudes the air is thinner. If you're flying a B777 with an approach speed at sea level in dense air, your approach speed of 135 KTS will result in a groundspeed that is very similar to your airspeed. But at higher elevations, the thin air requires a faster groundspeed to achieve the same 135 KTS airspeed. This is one of the myriad of reasons planes fly well above FL250. Thinner air results in faster ground speeds due to less drag from the considerably less dense air. The handling characteristics of planes are also a consideration when operating into and out of high elevation airports. Simply put, control inputs are less authoritative and handling an aircraft at high elevation airports requires different inputs than at lower elevations. Last point I'll make is about engines. Large jet aircraft generally have enough excess thrust to safely climb away in the event a landing is aborted, but with an engine out and flaps deployed, a smaller plane would have trouble climbing at higher altitudes. Engines perform based on the amount of fuel and air entering the cylinders or compressors (depending on piston or jet) and the less air, the lower the ratio and fuel/air mixture entering the engine, therefore less thrust at higher elevations. And since D A S K asked my sources 11 months ago, I'm a flight instructor.
This is rather a case of flying a lesser known airline for at least Europeans. The middle east ones are much more known to us. I personally have been to Ethiopia many times and love both the airline, country, and food :)
Hey Dan! You should test out their A350's and 787-9s! They're awesome! I loved flying them to Stockholm in Economy! Legroom, Food, In-flight Entertainment, Seats, Cabin Crew is Top-notch and all that for an excellent price! Although their old 787's and 737's are quite outdated in terms of cabins and Bole Intl isn't the best to transit in,although they're so generous m they offer a free hotel room when you're layover is 11+ hours with shuttle services!
The B777 200LR is a moderate aircraft. I mean Ethiopian airlines more modern airlines like the B787-9 and A350 have an AMAZING business class tbh and they have great privacy. Dan you should try one of their modern aircraft if you think that was good. Edit: On the modern aircrafts ethiopian airlines offers a 2-2-2 layout in business class.
Flying with Ethiopian to the Seychelles on there 787 and 737 from Manchester to Brussels then to Addis Ababa and over to the Seychelles, very excited, can’t wait to fly with them😆
You probably aren’t going to read this but IF YOU DO... If you consider flying Ethiopian again, you can fly GOT to ARN, and then ARN to ADD. You could also take the Wideroe Q400 service from GOT to OSL, and then fly the Ethiopian route OSL to ADD to ARN (5th freedom route).
I'd flown Ethiopian Airlines around two years back KUL-BKK return. Very impressive, good service, good food even was given the same amenity kit like yours Dan. I do hope to fly agaib with them.
Love u Dan ur so Passionate to travel u always appreciate and understand the airline and its stuff , indeed it is true that recognize us means a lot to the crew kudos for encouraging it .
I always fly Ethiopian Airlines out of Brazzaville to Bangkok in business class, it's the best. Though i must say that the catering out of Brazzaville is not always up to the service the crew provides... Love Flying Ethiopian Airlines
Ethiopian is shockingly underrated. Better than majority of the European carriers. Not only the best in Africa but in the world too. Operating modern aircraft a big fleet, it deserves to be in the top 10 airlines in the world.
This is probably my favourite video I’ve ever seen from you You’re so funny when you’re sleep deprived “TRANSFORM INTO A GIANT PAD THAI” Hahahahahahahahaha oml
Thank you Dan for another great flight and a most excellent product by the look of things !!! Always enjoy your reviews and I am glad your brother enjoyed Hong Kong as we all do ( unless there is some Civil Unrest !! ) Looking forward to the next episode !!
Great to see more interesting airlines being reviewed, Ethiopian is not one we hear particularly a lot about in the west and what a cool flight it looked! Looking forward to more videos :)
Although there is pressure on you from the Swedish people to fly less, my main issue is in Portugal where us locals are noticing that some Swedish residents are consuming three times as much energy than the local people. Very strange, but true.
russell guy: I actually didn't realize that either, but that makes sense now you mentioned it. Thank you. I love the colours anyway, sure beats those beige tones of other Airlines.
Great review of a little-known (to most Westerneers) airline. I personally really like yellow travel pouches, and I purposely buy them, because it is easy to spot them when you’ve packed up and are leaving an airplane or hotel. More than once I’ve left behind black, beige, or white bags, but I’ve never once not spotted an overlooked yellow bag when doing my “final sweep”, so to speak.
It surprises me that with HK being such a food city that the catering is so mediocre but good to know. I’m interested to know which airports have the best catering? Might make a good episode!
@@NonstopDan That would make sense as Singapore is a very food-oriented place. I'll make sure I'm flying a higher class of service when flying out of there ;)
Ethiopian airline is the most profitable airline, and their service is just phenomenal. Last year Ethiopian airline served 22 million passengers which is impressive.
Flew Ethiopian airlines economy for JHB to Rome. Excellent, Just Excellent. They gave me an upgrade from Rome to Johannesburg. Absolutely mind blowing. WARNING. The airport facilities in Addis Abbaba are terrible. I don't think this is the fault of the airline thou
Having flown from Manchester to Zimbabwe on ethiopian in economy I can honestly say the hospitality you receive from the crew is amazing. They make you feel really welcome and are there for you anytime you need anything. They provide you with such an amazing experience
Totally agree!! Most airlines make up with wonderful service and food I find

Yes sir 👏
My husband loves Ethiopian Air Business Class! It’s a hidden gem.
Ethiopian is by far the best airline in Africa.
I feel Qatar is the best airline not Ethiopian. sorry
Qatar is not in Africa
r d What you don’t understand by “best airline in Africa”.
J rrr there’s not much competition to be fair.
Joshua V South African, Egyptair, Royal Air Maroc, Air Algerie, Tunis Air, Kenya Airways and way more... What are you talking about?
Ethiopian Airlines always has good service I find!!

What is your source?
But is it easy to land since it is on high altitude? Just asking since i am not an aviator?

I’ve flown on EA. The service was great! Great video Dan!
Many people are prejudiced against African airlines without having flown on them...
They think there getting there in a rickshaw. Or that the plane is crap and represents the countries economic status.
Yes!
incognito96 Precisely! They don't understand private enterprise.

Now, Bole with the new expansion project became the best place.
They did an expansion work on The airport. It is now the best even for transit.
Yes ET has extremely good service, even the service from the on board is extremely good.

Thank You 💚💛💖 Am Ethiopian
Love that amenity kit💛
Best travel review ever. Keep it coming buddy.
Another great video. Ethiopian Airlines will start its service to Houston in December and they will use a 787-8 three times a week.
I thought they had started but cut it a few months ago.
Thank you for the info.

Do you think moving forward airlines might cut back on all the plastic bags used in the amenity kit
True..or replace it with some thing degradable or recyclable.
I'm late but the footage quality from the phone was really nice.
YELLOW.... part of there three colours on there flag. keep up lol Its Africa come on they love there beautiful colours!!!!!
