Ethiopian Airways review by Laurent 2015-06-04

Seychelles - Israel, with one stop over Addis Ababa, on their website. Terrible check-in 2hours waiting, due to only 1 lane open for Eco passengers. Terrible flight, re-routed via Egypt, on the two trips, to refuel on purpose because Fuel is cheaper there, but the airline did not informed their clients. No AC during refueling, intoxicated with bad smells from Gazole being ventilated from outside air to inside aircraft. 1 passenger almost passed away, urgent need to disembark him. Resulting in transforming a (non-announced but planned) 1hr stop over into a 5hrs stop over with no AC. pre-ordered Kids Menu identical to adults: spicy chicken with couscous and beans. served twice on both legs. In economy class, no entertainment at all, no individual Tv, no Electronic games, even if the plane looks new, it was simply RAW, no options at all. It's like traveling back in the 80's. Their customer service are not comprehensives. you rather spend an extra 80 to 100 Bucks on another Airline to make sure you are traveling in a comfortable plane, especially when you spend more time in their stinking planes than in the duty-free area. Ethiopian Airline avoid at any cost.
