  • A trip from London Heathrow to Addis Ababa, on Ethiopian Airlines' latest A350-900 Business Class product dubbed 'Cloud 9'. The carrier is the largest in Africa offering one stop connections to over 130 destinations across African continent and the rest of the world.
    The airline operates a mix of cabin configurations, but this is the most recent, with all-aisle access and large IFE screens and fully flat beds. But how does the carrier stack up? As far as international carriers go, it's come a long way (with a tiny way still to go) but with a solid product and excellent customer service onboard, it is on its way to become a true leader in the skies.

    Great images, great background music, great way to comment. Your video trip reports are top notch, just like the newsletter I've been happily reading for years. Thanks for sharing this and showing how good Ethiopian Airlines have become recently.

    Nice video as always. A week ago I flew Ethiopian for the first time, Toronto - Addis - Johannesburg. It was a 350 followed by a Dreamliner. Unfortunately both were the old 2-2-2 configuration, which I found a little cramped. I took the centre even though travelling alone, to have easy aisle access. Food was good as was the service. Hopefully I get the 1-2-1 configuration on the way back, but it’s something they need to change as fast as possible on the whole fleet.

    Nice flight review of Ethiopian Airlines. Ethiopian Airlines needs to immediately retrofit the seats in business and economy class in their older 777s, 787s and A350s. The seat layout in business class must be 1-2-1 so that passengers will have direct aisle access.

    It looks quite good! So far I’ve only flown Ethiopian (twice) from Stockholm to Oslo. Need to try them out longhaul and ideally on something longer than these slightly-too-short Europe to Addis runs. Anyway, enjoyed the video!

    The basics of the hard product seem ok, they just need some refinement of the design to make the experience world class.

      I agree, a few small touches and it could be really good.

      Hahaha, I love the music too! Thanks so much for the compliment!

      The soundtrack particularly from 9:26, just keeps bringing me back to this video. Also not forgetting the bright Ethiopian colours which somehow don't seem overwhelming but calming in its own way. Can't wait to fly Ethiopian someday.
      And of course Jonny your videos have taken off in a big way in terms of editing and presentation 👍. Keep them coming. Loved the Condor and latest Jet Blue videos.

    It is both amazing and sad to me that airlines like ET do not offer at least one traditional dish with their dinners, Kye Wat, Alche, Shekla or Tibs are perfect airline food, stews that taste great and just as importantly, reheat easily.

      They do actually provide on longer-haul flights! On my flight to Sao Paulo last year I had a full Njera meal.

    Thank you for your video! I have the same flight but ADD-LHR planned in 2 months in J, the booking says that the aircraft is A350, and on flightradar it shows that it's currently flying the A350-900, but when choosing my seats the aircraft shows a 2-2-2 configuration.. do you know if the 1-2-1 configuration is also offered on ADD-LHR?

    • @thedesignairvideo
      @thedesignairvideo  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      There are two a350 configurations. The more common one is the 2 x 2 x 2 configuration.

    • @lustbarbie3465
      @lustbarbie3465 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hi I was wondering if the 2-2-2 configuration was accurate to the plane you find but shows I will be flying the a350-900 like you stated but showed the older maps just want to figure out what I might get

    Try flying economy with them and then see what you think. I have flown over 15 times now and they are by far the worst I have ever flown with.
    You book seats and pay for extra legroom but often it is overbooked and then try getting your money back.
    Boarding is chaos with no control over boarding by groups.
    Food is inedible.
    Disinterested cabin crew.
    Before the aircraft has taxied to the stand people are standing to get their luggage but no one stops them.
    And to cap it all as passengers are disembarking one of the cabin crew turns round in her seat and goes to sleep.
