Anyone traveled on Ethiopian Airlines recently? I’m getting a good deal for India to US travel ( 600-700$ compared to 900+ on other airlines)
Not sure if there’s a downside to it?
Any opinions from those with prior experience is appreciated.

There is a reason you are getting the deal. The hint is in the ticket price.

Spill the beans McK 1.

I would pay $200 more with renowned airlines than risking for cheap.

Yeah, I know it’s a risk, that’s why fishing for opinions from folks with prior travel experience

I don’t have first hand experience, but have heard that they are solid in the air but Addis Ababa is pure chaos

Idk if that’s a good comparison bc Air India is not solid in the air lol

Airline is worth it. Airport in ADD probably not. I had a 8hour layover and used the time to get out and explore ADD.

Thanks for the info EY1

I have travelled Ethiopian. The flight is pretty good as it’s relatively new. The airport is like an Indian airport from the early 90s. Pretty ordinary eating options, only one real cafe serving anything worth eating, weird makeshift bathrooms. If you are alone and a relatively young male/female then it shouldnt be a big deal. I would probably avoid it with elder parents or children.

Thanks for the info everyone. Yes, I’ll be a single female traveling, no kids.
Instead of Newark if I look at JFK options, I see KLM/Delta runs at a better schedule for around $550 as well.
However flightaware says KLM has not flown that route since 2020, very confused now.
Did that route just restart then? Also there’s the Schipol strike happening today.
