For safety reasons, it is prohibited to carry certain types of lithium batteries, explosives and flammable substances, compressed gas cylinders or poisonous substances, e.g. insecticides, in cabin and hand baggage at Ethiopian Airlines. Some items not allowed in hand baggage may, however, be carried in hold baggage. Such items include, for example, knives or penknives. Hand baggage can contain a total of 1 litre of liquid in containers of no more than 100 millilitres, which should be additionally packed in an airtight and transparent plastic bag. There is no restriction in hand baggage for children and medicines if the passenger needs them.
What booking class does Ethiopian Airlines offer?
At Ethiopian Airlines, booking classes are divided into two basic ones: business class, also called Cloud Nine, and economy class. The passengers of Cloud Nine have at their disposal many on-board facilities available, e.g. more comfortable and larger seats or more types of on-board entertainment. Economy class passengers, depending on the type of machine, can take advantage of fold-out seats with more leg room and access to audio and video. For all flights, regardless of the class chosen, passengers are provided with food and drinks included in the price of the air ticket. They can also order additional drinks at an extra cost.
How to check-in online at Ethiopian Airlines?
At Ethiopian Airlines each passenger can use both traditional check-in at the airport as well online check-in. The second of these methods is much more convenient. It allows you to confirm your flight without leaving your home and avoid queuing at the airport. Online check-in is possible at the earliest 36 hours and no later than 2 hours before departure. This rule applies to international and domestic flights operated by Ethiopian Airlines. After entering your details and selecting a seat, print the generated boarding pass and bring it to the airport with your air ticket and a personal identification document. Passengers traveling without checked-in baggage should arrive at their gate 30 minutes prior to departure. People arriving at the airport should arrive at the airport one hour before the planned international flight and 45 minutes before the domestic flight in order to allow time to register baggage and pass security checks.
