Very sad but very true. Ethiopian Airlines is the worst. They want to be Emirates but mainly on their short routes they only use old, poorly maintained and dirty planes. Everybody who says otherwise either did not even watch ur video, never fly ET with Africa or they just are Ethiopian Internet army. An embarrassment for my country and not worth the money at all. 🇪🇹😢 Thank you for showing everyone the truth and don't bother the Internet trolls from my country. Sorry from Ethiopia to you!
During African Colonialism, Ethiopia was one of the targeted country by Fascist Italy. During this time, there were ‘few’ people history remembers them saying “BANDA” which mean an Ethiopian who fights back Ethiopian alongside with Fascist Army🤔. The good thing was that , Fascist army was defeated by honest Ethiopian braves and “BANDA” like you were became ashamed 😂😅.
I flew to Addis back in January and had an excellent experince with this Airline. The beautiful Stewardess were very attentive and the 3 meals they provided were delicious!
@@theRealJohnnyG. I flew out of O'Hare in Chicago IL. Direct flight there, very comfortable in Coach flight but next time I'll spend the extra for Business.
@@dmosill I guess on their long haul routes to the west they are doing better because they use new planes like the 787 or the a350. Always wanted to try their business class as well but now that it seems like everyone from Ethiopia hates me I guess I won't do that😅 Let me know how it went.
I mean they are by far the biggest in africa. With the most passangers most, plane fleets,the most number of destinstion. No one comes close in africa they must be doing something alright
Having the most passengers, planes and destinations are all the reason why it’s important to have your maintenance and hygiene operations grow WITH your business. It’s nothing personal. ET just needs to work on these points. They have a very diverse fleet of aircraft which is blessing and a curse as you can use the right plane on the right route, but it means you have to maintain all different types with thousands of spare part, etc.
@@francisstoffbergam sure by your talking you never been to Ethiopian airline If you have been there there is enough hygiene operations Have enough space even give the transactions passengers free hotel room You can't get that anywhere
There are no TSA employees in Ethiopia. TSA is a US organisation. Not sure walking under the wing is actually strictly prohibited but it strongly discouraged by airline employees and is not a good idea as it is not uncommon for oil to drip from the wing onto people's clothing. It has actually happened to me. Personally I think that they were out of order requiring the certificate as you had only transited without leaving the airport. What happened in the end? Did you manage to enter Kenya or were you removed to ? I have never personally flown with ET but in years gone by they had a good reputation.
As a proud Ethiopian-American, I am baffled at the notion that anyone would need to “defame” Ethiopian Airlines; the shortcomings of the airline speak for themselves. I have personally witnessed the issues: planes that are consistently unclean, customer service that is dismissive at best, and an overall experience that often feels more like a disregard for passengers than a service to them. It’s as if mediocrity has become the standard-and, worse, it seems to be something many are fiercely protective of. This refusal to accept any criticism, however constructive, and the expectation of praise for providing substandard service reflects a mindset that is detrimental to progress. Many speak about Ethiopian Airlines as if it’s on the path to becoming Africa’s top airline. But the reality is far from this vision; right now, it wouldn’t deserve to be ranked in the top 100 airlines globally. Without addressing these deep-rooted issues in quality and customer service, such aspirations are little more than empty rhetoric. Only when there’s a willingness to face these truths head-on, without excuses or inflated pride, can Ethiopian Airlines hope to improve and earn a reputation worthy of genuine respect.
Ethiopian is by far No. 01 best airline in Africa, 21st in the world and 3rd in the world shared within air France interms of total destinations served. It is growing and yet to grow more!
I think it is quite an unfair video rant since this is not the experience I have had of Ethiopian airline. I had pleasant experience and most people I know who took the airline report a good experience.
I took 4 flights with Ethiopian last year, I liked them all, just the food wasn´t great and on one of the flights, the overhead storage was broken. I´d choose Ethiopian Airlines again though :)
Regarding the denied entry: I went to Tanzania and there the vaccination was also only recuired when you came from a high-risk country. However, my stay In Addis was considered not long enough (I think it was like 5 hours) and I was able to enter Tanzania without a vaccination. Maybe it´s different in Kenya though
I have watched your video, and I couldn't find any evidence to support your claims. I don't intend to argue with you, but I want to clarify the truth to those who are watching and may be unaware of your bullying and harassment.
So what are going to do under the wing BTW, which country allows you to go under the wing as a passenger, who knows what you're going to put under the body of vehicles, what a foggy a head 😤 you're.

You are complaining about nothing. There is literally no other airline you can travel with in Africa that is better than Ethiopian. You are riding a taxi for short trips and you are whining about everything. Drive around in Africa then...😅
I See Why You have Only 4k Subscribers… Negative People Will Never See Success. Just because you noticed Small issues in a Single airplane don’t judge the Entire Airline. Ethiopian airline by the Best Airline in Africa and major Contender Worldwide
at least appreciate you landed safely, and didn't go down, how about that? People like to complain too much, not only about ethio airlines, but even about the best airlines out there. For me I'm just happy I'll get to my destination, ALIVE😅
If people spend hundreds upon hundreds of dollars on flights it is the right thing to show them what they will get. Doesn't mean I'm not happy to arrive safely.
@@theRealJohnnyG. Then begs the question, why would someone spend hundred's upon hundreds of dollars on a flight? Why should someone be so entitled that they cannot share same space with someone with less fortune? I don't get it, to spend all that money on a 9 hours flight, while someone eats one meal a day.
I want to go Dhaka to Tokyo can you please recommend me which airline will be best 1) Biman Bangladesh Airlines 2) Cathy Pacific Airlines 3) China Southern Airlines 4) China Eastern Airlines 5) Thai Airways
That's a tough one, I've never flown any of those. As my wife is Thai obviously I have to recommend Thai Airways to you😂 Other than that I've heard great things about Cathay Pacific
Ethiopian airlines is one of the best airline in the world. I think you report should have focused more about the corruptions happening in Kenyan airport
I have been flying Ethiopian Airlines for over 15 years now, I have flown to Europe, America, Middle East and pacific regions. 99% of my flights were excellent. Nothing is perfect with every Airlines, however, your dismissal of the whole experience with just one off incident is not only unfair but also biased in every aspect! Ethiopian is by far the best in Africa and keeps shining despite your recommendations!
I travel regularly with Ethiopian airlines, but only for 4h+ routes so far. so I always travel on A350-900, 787 dreamliner, or 777-200LR. last time i think it was even a 2 month old A350. On that side, I really like traveling with Ethiopian. But I would lie if I say that I am surprised seeing something like this on short flights within Africa. I share the views about the chaos at Bole airport. my experiences were not as chaotic as yours, sometimes no problem at all, but still, there is a big room for improvement in term of crowd management.
In January 2024 I flew with Ethiopian in economy from London to Victoria Falls and then back to London from Bulawayo, and I found the opposite to you. The internal African flights were fine - both being on 737-Max aircraft. The food was great and no problem with the interiors. The long haul out and back to London were horrendous. Food was terrible on both legs - the breakfast into London was a so called omelette, which was so hard it would bounce - the only time I have not eaten airline food. As a family (with 2 kids - 15 & 12) we flew with them in December 2019 from London to Entebbe, and the food was good, but their reallocation of booked and confirmed seating on the ADD-LHR leg was not so good - we were spread randomly throughout the cabin - which after a fair bit of complaining we managed to get my wife and children in one row together - but only once on board the aircraft. Another issue was that the bags arrived a day late in Entebbe - we were told that this was a common occurrence. I will never fly with them again unless they are the ONLY airline flying to where I want to go.
Over the years, the multi-award-winning airline has received countless coveted accolades and recognitions for its excellence including Skytrax's Four-Star Airline Certification, Best Airline in Africa title for several years in a row, and Overall Excellence for Outstanding Crisis Leadership Award to mention. So it is good service provider in the world with cheapest fare.
I do not have any idea why. you my brother/Sister put such a bad comment. on the best airliner in the world with a lot of international awards and with the latest airplanes. Ethiopian 79 years since established and currently nearly 6 million passengers per year.
Addis Abeba, Ethiopia is eight thousand feet above sea level, it is not an ideal place for yellow fever as yellow fever affects warm and low land areas. The Kenyan authorities have no reason to consider Addis Abeba as "high risk".
I flew from Gaborone Botswana to London via ADIS Ababa December 2023. This an over 5 hr flight, with no entertainment. The food was the worst airline I had ever tasted and on arrival in the UK was sick with food poisoning for three days. When the crew had served the meal, mine was ice cold rice and sloppy chicken they went and slept in the business class area. A flight never to be repeated. I sent a complaint to Ethiopian Airways needless to say no reply. I sent an e mail to the airline manager in Gaborone. No reply
Maybe on their mewer planes they are decent. But delays, cables sticking out of the seat, a leaking ceiling... I really don't see how that could be the best in the world tbh...
Ethiopian Airlines is The worst airline "Luggage theft, pilferage, damage, prolonged delays, and loss with no compensation, coupled with unjustified and unwarranted price increases, are major concerns for travelers."
For me i am Ethiopian, and realy appreciate the findings/faults/ and other things on flight. Ethiopian should improve every complients by counter checking on the ground on particular flights where the passengers complain. I think thsres silly mistakes are latter on grown and you will reach to ignor big faults/misallinement/broken parts etc. Smiling and history is not enough. There has to be accountability for each problems that passengers comment. I am sure there are staffs who suppose to repair broken/malfunctioning customer service materials. So, Ethiopian should act on it and appreciate the passenger for his comment (as long as the findings are genuine).
I fly with Ethiopian out of London for work 8 or 9 times a year to different African destinations, Entebbe, Antananarivo, Windhoek, Nairobi, Dakar. Always economy. They are really good. Yes, the airport is busy, with a huge volume of transit passengers, but this is my favourite airline. I prefer to the other convenient alternatives out of Europe, like KLM, Lufthansa etc. I've nver had a problem with the video screens. If you had asked for help from the hostess she would have done it for you. But if you are intending on being negative there's not much that can be done
@@theRealJohnnyG. what the hell are you talking about ????the world 100% knows that the Ethiopian Airline is the baste airline in Africa I'm proud we are proud !!! who pay you to do this ??? shame on you !!! you cannot increase or decrease nothing bro. accept it !!! the Ethiopian Airline is the baste airline is one of the best air line in the world !!!!!!!!
I flew them from Cape Town South Africa to Athens via Addis Ababa, and it was the worst! The food is terrible, and the flight was 2 hours delayed coming in Cape Town South Africa.
I really start to get the feeling from what I am reading in this comment section that their flights within Africa suck while the intercontinental ones operated on newer planes are decent...
maybe short haul not that impotant than long one ,anyways i always have a good expriance with ethiopian air lines spechally exellent pilots,thats for that ethiopian airlines
People should boycott this airline they have been treating its customers like shit n without us they are nothing so plz let's unit n show them our money talks
What an awful experience, with the vaccine saga. I have used ET a few times but with little hitches. The water leakage experience was not good, I hope ET gets that resolved and fast. I hope the foul smell you experienced upon boarding the flight is also sorted out. I hope you had a lovely time in Kenya. Nice video 👏🎬. Feedback is always a good thing, its one of the best ways to improve.
Don't listen to these disgruntled Ethiopian in the comment. I don't think they have the perspective to critic and see how Ethiopian's compares internationally. They have nothing but pride. Ethiopian airlines has outdated planes and embarrassing airport service!!!!. Even an airline like southern china airlines that is plagued with constant delays, is way way way wayyy ahead. I've witnessed unhelpful airport staff being rude to African passengers. And don't even get me started with the theft;I have three colleagues who had their luggage stolen. They have the largest airline in Africa, but something is going on with them. Stay away for now.
😂😂😂 brother from another mother. Kurt Caz is a huge inspiration, bro is living the dream. Just discovered Itchy Boots recently through Insta Reels. Should start watching the long form content for sure. Mahlzeit! ;)
I feel Ethiopian wants to retire their 777s soon although they haven't made mention of it. But it obvious especially with more orders of the a350s and 777x. Maybe the plans to retire these aircrafts gives them no reason to maintain it as it might be a waste of money. Just saying.
The airline is OK. I had a layover in Addis which was also ok. Binoculars are not allowed in Ethiopia - you have to leave them at baggage reclaim during your stay. Security is also at a very high level, cigarette lighters are confiscated at hotels
I have flown in ET900 from Lagos to India and trust me Ethiopian airline is one of the bad airline i ever flown. they don't care for passenger's comfort. I missed my connection flight at their Bole international airport due to flight deled from Lagos Nigeria and trust me me and my family had a such a bad treatment and received a worst arrangement from Ethiopian airline. one of the 3rd class hotels to stay, horrible food to eat, No internet for whole of the time of stay and its disconnected us from our family on top of that they changed our destination airport from one to another. i swear i never had such a horrible experience from any of the airline so far. #DONT FLY EITHOPIANAIRLINE#
Ethiopian Airlines customer support is the worst "service" ever. They don't read the messages and answer standard emails, they are not able to understand any request, they are lazy as hell, and at the summum of the incompetence. Ethiopia is such an amazing country and it's a shame that its company is so unprofessional.
I've had so many good experience flying in Ethiopian. How many times did you fly on this airline? I really had a very awful flight on Lufthansa once but also had a good experience on another. Maybe depends on the situation. Why would skytrack ranks EA number one in Africa? there are several other categories like arriving on time, cleanliness . . . Ethiopia has been in the top 5 in all of them.
I flew Ethiopian very frequently and never experience this stuff you just said. Ethiopian airline is and always will be one of the biggest best airliner in Africa. You must be paid by one of those airlines who want to give Ethiopian airline a bad picture.
Thanks for sharing your experience. I hope it helps Ethiopian Airlines pull up its socks. I often fly Ethiopian and have filmed many of them on my UA-cam channel. They are doing ok in many aspects but there is room for improvement, especially cleanliness of the cabin!
@@theRealJohnnyG. I tried book but I was very disappointed all the cheaper fares are all sold out now I don't even know what to do,I can t even access Egypt airline website
I would not complain about the G-forces when trying to avoid a collision with another plane, this is life and death and the pilot is not about to slowly get out of the way to make the movements more pleasant to you
I do not like videos like this by some amateur who think based on their experience they can torn the reputation of an airline. I flew ethiopian airlines several times and i enjoyed it . Ethiopian has about 145 planes and carry about 10 million passenger. Your opinion is not gonna change anything. If you don't like ethiopian airlines don't fly it . With or without you this airline is going to be a successful
Hey bro, I'm an Ethiopian living here in Ethiopia. I believe what you posted about the airlines. Because this is just one of the many failures we have as Ethiopians.
Thank you for believing me. I don't have anything against Ethiopia as a country, I just wanted to share the experience of this flight, but obviously people are not ok about that🙄
No one believes your false video with a handful of followers & you’re probably paid by the competitors. My advice to you is don’t fly again on Ethiopian. It’s the biggest airline in Africa & one of the fastest growing airline in the world & there’s a reason for that.
Western Media never lies about such things u said wow u are totally wrong about that.i thought u are a genuine repoter but i don't think so and u are daily wrong the airlines
Ethiopian Airlines is the best airline of Africa And she got tired for these achievements although I am Jordanian and it is the only airline that connected Jordan with Africa and its in top 20 in the world you are not lucky
Worst airline, i was going to delhi from Ethiopian airport and they gave wrong boarding pass and i missed my flight and when i asked for the reason they said that everyone missed the flight. And they charged me 280 dollar more for next flight, i didn't even do any mistake i was waiting for the flight which was in my boarding pass. But they said that it's a wrong boarding pass. And they didn't even do any announcement seriously the airline is so worst.
Thank you for flying our Ethiopian Airlines. Not sure how frequently you fly or flown with Ethiopian, I can surely say a lot of hasty generalization here on every single experience you had. And believe me, Western media does really get biased and report all fake news. This is too much exaggeration. Nonetheless, you are welcome to visit us. You will indeed learn a lot of true pictures about the airline , Ethiopia and more.
Thank you for your constructive criticism. Happy to hear that I am still welcome in Ethiopia. It was my first time flying with them and they have been on my bucket list for a long time. My expectations were really high... Concerning western media that was a joke since they tend bend the truth about stuff like that.
It's a huge lie about Ethiopian airlines, Ethiopian airlines is one of the best airlines in the world, not only the best airlines and also they got the best service you can get, Ethiopian airlines is my first choice to travel to Europe, Asia and North America. ET airlines keep up a 👍🏽.
it is an intention of degrading the airline. despite the very low economic growth of the country the airline is our pride with many awards from international organizations, of course it may have limitations but if your you tube channel is the flight focused one your video should have been the corrective one but not the fault finding one.
Very sad but very true. Ethiopian Airlines is the worst. They want to be Emirates but mainly on their short routes they only use old, poorly maintained and dirty planes. Everybody who says otherwise either did not even watch ur video, never fly ET with Africa or they just are Ethiopian Internet army.

Over the years, the multi-award-winning airline has received countless coveted accolades and recognitions for its excellence including Skytrax's Four-Star Airline Certification, Best Airline in Africa title for several years in a row, and Overall Excellence for Outstanding Crisis Leadership Award to mention.
So it is good service provider in the world with cheapest fare.
I do not have any idea why. you my brother/Sister put such a bad comment. on the best airliner in the world with a lot of international awards and with the latest airplanes. Ethiopian 79 years since established and currently nearly 6 million passengers
per year.
did you watch the video until the end?
I’m flying long haul on Ethiopian from ATL-ADD on the 787 which is 14 hours and I hope it’s better than this flight
Yes, I think long haul will be better. Especially on the 787 and a350 since they are newer.
How was the flight, isaac?
@@earlysda it’s coming up next month we just gotta finish the school exams and then we’ll go
@@JustIsaac134 how was the flight? I will be travelling with them for the first time next weekend from South Africa to Stockholm
Addis Abeba, Ethiopia is eight thousand feet above sea level, it is not an ideal place for yellow fever as yellow fever affects warm and low land areas. The Kenyan authorities have no reason to consider Addis Abeba as "high risk".
Yes... and furthermore I did not even leave the airport😂😂🤦🏻♂️ But that's just the bureaucracy involved in international travel😅
I have been flying with Ethiopian airline for 15 years just seat back and enjoy your flight ✈️
The have ordered 20 Boeing 777x_9 what do u say about this
penguin
Scary!!! Makes one wonder how well the planes are maintained.
Absolutely...
I flew from Gaborone Botswana to London via ADIS Ababa December 2023. This an over 5 hr flight, with no entertainment. The food was the worst airline I had ever tasted and on arrival in the UK was sick with food poisoning for three days. When the crew had served the meal, mine was ice cold rice and sloppy chicken they went and slept in the business class area. A flight never to be repeated. I sent a complaint to Ethiopian Airways needless to say no reply. I sent an e mail to the airline manager in Gaborone. No reply
you are lying
@samsoncheneke9332, you know he is. I feel some kind of jealousy from those people😅against Ethiopia 🇪🇹
@@samsoncheneke9332really. I don’t need to lie.
Please grow up! Jealousy against Ethiopians! It was a comment about the food on the flight not against Ethiopians/!
Crazy how everyone still mentions the crash 5yrs ago and yet yall assume its because of the airline itself instead of Boeing.
never claimed otherwise
God bless Ethiopian Airlines. I am always happy that God has blessed us with best arline of the years.
They will improve dont worry iv seen many reviews about Ethiopian and bole international airport people were happy .
Hope so😊
You don't need a yellow fever vaccination while transit in Ethiopia if your transit time is within 12hrs.
@@DanTan-h2s I needed it in Kenya, not in Ethiopia
Ethiopian Airline one of the best in world 💚💛❤️
Lies! Fly them and see, the food is the worst onboard 🤮🤮 the service is basic!
@@sunelelujabe8075 To HELL with you!
Maybe on their mewer planes they are decent. But delays, cables sticking out of the seat, a leaking ceiling... I really don't see how that could be the best in the world tbh...
@@theRealJohnnyG. you are a passenger or inspector, you are almost a mechanic😄😄😄
Hahaha~~
LIES!!!!!!!!!
Ethiopian Airlines is The worst airline "Luggage theft, pilferage, damage, prolonged delays, and loss with no compensation, coupled with unjustified and unwarranted price increases, are major concerns for travelers."
Sorry for this experience
Yes, I agree.
flying from southeast Asia for many years. It's the best airline so far. to Africa as it's always safe. regional airline is also ok...
okay
For me i am Ethiopian, and realy appreciate the findings/faults/ and other things on flight. Ethiopian should improve every complients by counter checking on the ground on particular flights where the passengers complain. I think thsres silly mistakes are latter on grown and you will reach to ignor big faults/misallinement/broken parts etc. Smiling and history is not enough. There has to be accountability for each problems that passengers comment. I am sure there are staffs who suppose to repair broken/malfunctioning customer service materials. So, Ethiopian should act on it and appreciate the passenger for his comment (as long as the findings are genuine).
I fly with Ethiopian out of London for work 8 or 9 times a year to different African destinations, Entebbe, Antananarivo, Windhoek, Nairobi, Dakar. Always economy. They are really good. Yes, the airport is busy, with a huge volume of transit passengers, but this is my favourite airline. I prefer to the other convenient alternatives out of Europe, like KLM, Lufthansa etc. I've nver had a problem with the video screens. If you had asked for help from the hostess she would have done it for you. But if you are intending on being negative there's not much that can be done
the video screens were locked with a screw bro watch the video before you insult
8:59 the unmistakable dry ground of northeastern kenya, ahh, the lands...
We should play geoguessr together
I flew Ethiopian airline on a long distance flight.It was an amazing experience. I would definitely fly Ethiopian Airlines again.
Grape🍇
@@theRealJohnnyG. what the hell are you talking about ????the world 100% knows that the Ethiopian Airline is the baste airline in Africa I'm proud we are proud !!! who pay you to do this ??? shame on you !!! you cannot increase or decrease nothing bro. accept it !!! the Ethiopian Airline is the baste airline is one of the best air line in the world !!!!!!!!
I flew them from Cape Town South Africa to Athens via Addis Ababa, and it was the worst! The food is terrible, and the flight was 2 hours delayed coming in Cape Town South Africa.
I really start to get the feeling from what I am reading in this comment section that their flights within Africa suck while the intercontinental ones operated on newer planes are decent...
phew! thank God you didn't crash arriving at Nairobi
Yes😅😅😂
maybe short haul not that impotant than long one ,anyways i always have a good expriance with ethiopian air lines spechally exellent pilots,thats for that ethiopian airlines
Yes, probably..
Bro in addis abba it’s not TSA.
People should boycott this airline they have been treating its customers like shit n without us they are nothing so plz let's unit n show them our money talks
Yes..
Can you comment about the flaws of Boeing aircraft in general? Yeah that leakage sucks. It's embarrassing.
I am not sure if this leak has anything to do with that... but currently the profit first mentality of Boeing seems to be backgiring more than ever.
What an awful experience, with the vaccine saga. I have used ET a few times but with little hitches. The water leakage experience was not good, I hope ET gets that resolved and fast. I hope the foul smell you experienced upon boarding the flight is also sorted out. I hope you had a lovely time in Kenya. Nice video 👏🎬. Feedback is always a good thing, its one of the best ways to improve.
Don't listen to these disgruntled Ethiopian in the comment. I don't think they have the perspective to critic and see how Ethiopian's compares internationally. They have nothing but pride. Ethiopian airlines has outdated planes and embarrassing airport service!!!!. Even an airline like southern china airlines that is plagued with constant delays, is way way way wayyy ahead. I've witnessed unhelpful airport staff being rude to African passengers. And don't even get me started with the theft;I have three colleagues who had their luggage stolen. They have the largest airline in Africa, but something is going on with them. Stay away for now.
Thabk you for your comment, agreed. I think I think I have scratched the pride of many people with this video😅😂
Man, are we siblings?
Bald reference, Rainbolt.... who's peeking up in one of your next videos? Itchy Boots? Kurt Caz? :)
Beste Grüße 🙏
😂😂😂 brother from another mother. Kurt Caz is a huge inspiration, bro is living the dream. Just discovered Itchy Boots recently through Insta Reels. Should start watching the long form content for sure. Mahlzeit! ;)
I feel Ethiopian wants to retire their 777s soon although they haven't made mention of it. But it obvious especially with more orders of the a350s and 777x. Maybe the plans to retire these aircrafts gives them no reason to maintain it as it might be a waste of money. Just saying.
The airline is OK. I had a layover in Addis which was also ok. Binoculars are not allowed in Ethiopia - you have to leave them at baggage reclaim during your stay. Security is also at a very high level, cigarette lighters are confiscated at hotels
I have flown in ET900 from Lagos to India and trust me Ethiopian airline is one of the bad airline i ever flown. they don't care for passenger's comfort. I missed my connection flight at their Bole international airport due to flight deled from Lagos Nigeria and trust me me and my family had a such a bad treatment and received a worst arrangement from Ethiopian airline. one of the 3rd class hotels to stay, horrible food to eat, No internet for whole of the time of stay and its disconnected us from our family on top of that they changed our destination airport from one to another. i swear i never had such a horrible experience from any of the airline so far. #DONT FLY EITHOPIANAIRLINE#
I'm sorry you had this experience
Totally agree. it's horrible crap. service, horrible food and just an atrocious flight. after the Arabs especially
:/
Ethiopian Airlines customer support is the worst "service" ever. They don't read the messages and answer standard emails, they are not able to understand any request, they are lazy as hell, and at the summum of the incompetence.
Ethiopia is such an amazing country and it's a shame that its company is so unprofessional.
For Sure, you are employed by a rival airline to defame EAL. There might be problems, but you did not substantiate your talks with image evidence.
where?
Mann kann auch sein Sitzplatz wechseln.Die genannten Sitzplätze sind meist nicht stabiel.
Nicht stabil?
It is a very important observation, but have you shared your observation to ET airlines?.
good point!
I've had so many good experience flying in Ethiopian. How many times did you fly on this airline? I really had a very awful flight on Lufthansa once but also had a good experience on another. Maybe depends on the situation. Why would skytrack ranks EA number one in Africa? there are several other categories like arriving on time, cleanliness . . . Ethiopia has been in the top 5 in all of them.
It's my second flight on them (first was from Doha to ADD). Probably on their intercontinental they offer a better product.
I flew Ethiopian very frequently and never experience this stuff you just said. Ethiopian airline is and always will be one of the biggest best airliner in Africa.
You must be paid by one of those airlines who want to give Ethiopian airline a bad picture.
yes I agree, my footage is fake
Thanks for sharing your experience. I hope it helps Ethiopian Airlines pull up its socks. I often fly Ethiopian and have filmed many of them on my UA-cam channel. They are doing ok in many aspects but there is room for improvement, especially cleanliness of the cabin!
I hope so too. :)
Your review scares me right now,i dont know if i should book my ticket with them. 😢
It's always difficult to judge an airline based on a single flight. But in my case I probably won't choose them in the near future again.
@@theRealJohnnyG. I tried book but I was very disappointed all the cheaper fares are all sold out now I don't even know what to do,I can t even access Egypt airline website
Ethiopian Airlines is one of the best Airlines and is competitive in the world.
I ❤Ethiopian Airlines.
I would not complain about the G-forces when trying to avoid a collision with another plane, this is life and death and the pilot is not about to slowly get out of the way to make the movements more pleasant to you
LOVE ETHIOPIAN AIRLINE ❤
love you
I do not like videos like this by some amateur who think based on their experience they can torn the reputation of an airline. I flew ethiopian airlines several times and i enjoyed it . Ethiopian has about 145 planes and carry about 10 million passenger. Your opinion is not gonna change anything. If you don't like ethiopian airlines don't fly it . With or without you this airline is going to be a successful
Maybe I was unlucky but brother "if you don't like Ethiopian airlines don't fly it", if you don't like this video don't watch it??😅😅
Sad. A national carrier is supposed to impress foreigners and reflect pride in its country. Menelik and Selasse would absolutely not approve.
Yes :( But I guess their intercontinental fleet is better.
Hey bro, I'm an Ethiopian living here in Ethiopia. I believe what you posted about the airlines. Because this is just one of the many failures we have as Ethiopians.
Thank you for believing me. I don't have anything against Ethiopia as a country, I just wanted to share the experience of this flight, but obviously people are not ok about that🙄
@@theRealJohnnyG.
I get you bro. Your points are relevant for the company if they want to change its image. Thanks 💜
@@Gracefull-ok9lr Exactly! thx for understanding
You’re not Ethiopian. You wish you but you’re not & will never be.
we will provide the legal action against your defamation.
did I say something that was not true?😅
No one believes your false video with a handful of followers & you’re probably paid by the competitors. My advice to you is don’t fly again on Ethiopian. It’s the biggest airline in Africa & one of the fastest growing airline in the world & there’s a reason for that.
Tell me one single fact that was not true in this video.
Western Media never lies about such things u said wow u are totally wrong about that.i thought u are a genuine repoter but i don't think so and u are daily wrong the airlines
huh?
Ethiopian airlines is the best .❤❤❤❤❤ I Love it!!
This is Africa's best
really?
Who is you
I am your father
Ethiopian Airlines is the best airline of Africa And she got tired for these achievements although I am Jordanian and it is the only airline that connected Jordan with Africa and its in top 20 in the world you are not lucky
I guess I am not
agreed!
No air line is perfect, but Ethiopian is the best in Africa
Worst airline, i was going to delhi from Ethiopian airport and they gave wrong boarding pass and i missed my flight and when i asked for the reason they said that everyone missed the flight. And they charged me 280 dollar more for next flight, i didn't even do any mistake i was waiting for the flight which was in my boarding pass. But they said that it's a wrong boarding pass. And they didn't even do any announcement seriously the airline is so worst.
Thank you for sharing this experience with is and sorry that you had to go through this experience
Thank you for flying our Ethiopian Airlines. Not sure how frequently you fly or flown with Ethiopian, I can surely say a lot of hasty generalization here on every single experience you had. And believe me, Western media does really get biased and report all fake news. This is too much exaggeration. Nonetheless, you are welcome to visit us. You will indeed learn a lot of true pictures about the airline , Ethiopia and more.
Thank you for your constructive criticism. Happy to hear that I am still welcome in Ethiopia. It was my first time flying with them and they have been on my bucket list for a long time. My expectations were really high... Concerning western media that was a joke since they tend bend the truth about stuff like that.
Egyptian who hate Ethiopia made this vedio, not true at all.
so I'm Indian or Egyptian or Somali? the comments got me confused about my nationality😢
It's a huge lie about Ethiopian airlines, Ethiopian airlines is one of the best airlines in the world, not only the best airlines and also they got the best service you can get, Ethiopian airlines is my first choice to travel to Europe, Asia and North America. ET airlines keep up a 👍🏽.
Wrong analysis! It seems personal hate.
06:03 bro
it is an intention of degrading the airline. despite the very low economic growth of the country the airline is our pride with many awards from international organizations, of course it may have limitations but if your you tube channel is the flight focused one your video should have been the corrective one but not the fault finding one.
why nobody can't tell me WHAT I ACTUALLY said that was untrue?
this is untrue !!! the hole world knows the Ethiopian air line is one of the best airline in the world !!!
Yes , this airlines is the biggest one in africa but too expensive it us much the payment and service
😶
