but you're a man gabe.

Being defensive about your review here in the comment section is kind of hypocritical of you, don't you think so??? 🤔🤔🤔

I Liked and Subscribed and am glad I did. Your report was very fair. You told the good, the bad and the Ugly. So happy to hear you both call out the shortcomings, yet point out that they excel in Pricing and African Routing! I agree 100% with all you critique, with the exception of the issue you had with the noise due to cargo loading. That’s probably unavoidable, however loud music in the cabin is unacceptable! Hopefully someone at ET watches this Review and takes the needed steps to implement positive changes. BTW I’m flying ET in February from YYZ in J Class. Looking forward to it. Not Expecting SQ quality, but will be very happy if it’s equal to AC, UA, or DL. Regarding the Lounge access. Yes carriers have a right to limit entry to their lounge, for non passengers when busy. Having said that, ET should have had a designated lounge with another Carrier, as your first option. Had that been the LH lounge (example) then they would be obligated to accept you. Other partners could choose to accept you, space being available! I would have pointed out, that you were not informed which lounge to report to. That is a very inexcusable lack of service!

For everyone complaining that this video report is more negative than positive I would refer you to watch videos from Sam Choi. He always gives a great review! 🤦‍♂️😆😆😆🙄 One thing I noticed, was the recording of the qualities like the Electric Power Plug, the Storage Space and the Menu. Just cuz they were only pictures doesn’t diminish the positive review!

I'd rely on reviews that shows the downsides of things. Airlines strive to maintain consistency, but not every passenger will have the same experience. It's always good to be aware of the potential cons in an experience and I think this review just highlighted them well. This is why I would often watch multiple reviews to weigh the pros and cons of an airline's product as nothing is ever perfect. Even top carriers have flaws too and good experience can be subjective.

Great video as always. Gotta fly on a A350 one day. Love those window dimmers but knowing me I would use it too much and break it. 😅

Ethiopian A350-1000 Review ❌️ Ethiopian A350-1000 Complaint ✅️

I really like yr videos sir❤ Hope one day travel with 😊u

Enjoy ur flight dear sir ❤

Shame, what a garbage complain especially on very minor issues. I personally love to fly with an Ethiopian Airline and never had a bad experience. I sure am Gabe had another agenda.

Proof that just because I’m a furry doesn’t mean that I’m fatherless (I’m his daughter) 🧑‍🎤🤘⛓️🐺🩸😔

Sorry, separately; and please no one crucify me for this, but much as I love the A350, I (very grudgingly) prefer the feel of the 787. I'm an economy traveller and find the wings on the plane somehow make the ride feel so much more comfortable. I'm used to be a huge boeing fan but I have to give the 787 plane it's kudos. It's just a shame the Boeing company management are ruining the 787 reputation with poor leadership practices😢.

Hi Gabe great video as always. One question which I hope you won't consider too personal. You once made a video travelling with your family; how do they feel when you jet off to some of those awesome destinations (especially the sunny ones with great food without them)? To clarify this is more about just wondering whether they would love to be travelling to some of your destinations alongside? ✈️🏝️🍽️

KLM Flights are pretty expensive in Europe, the "Free" snack and drink is included in your fare.

I just flew Copenhagen-Bangkok in November and Bangkok-Copenhagen in December with SAS. Very nice, clean planes, pleasant flight crew, and the food was surprisingly good. That was just in Economy. They are improving.

I personally had a good experience with ET. I completely agree with some of his criticisms and disagree like, security and queue because my comparison would be Heathrow and many EU airports.As A black(habesha) after i show my passport I had to spread my legs and Bcheaks in a closed room for no reason i had to wait over 1h. ET should look into this review it's helpful. Labeling this guy for a paid actor or bias against black..... Is lunacy.

'on the ball' is the most perfect description of the QA crew. I've been lucky enough to fly 3 times in business and the crews consistency, professionalism and attentiveness all while being very relaxed is just incredible.

Hi Gabe, how much were you encouraged with for nice words for Qatar airline while on board of Ethiopian?, I choose Ethiopian any day !

🤍

Yeah they are arresting white Americans as spy's. I am dating a Venezuelan woman. She will not let me go there with her as she says it is very dangerous for me. Their allies are the Russians and Iranians. I wish I could go there.

I hope next time you try first class on Qatar Airways. ❤

6:15 even virtual boarding pass is accepted

is not the only Icerunway Antarctic Logistics & Expeditions ale there is also Icerunway there is one

Had similar experience at gate when staff though my bag was wrongly tagged. I was called several times to the desk and I told them: No no I only want it to Bangkok and not to Hongkong (Destination was Hong Kong, but had 24h in Bangkok).

Absolutely love any Indian curry out of the UK. It’s becoming a part of their culinary culture.

Good job. You didn't have the coffee. I have never tasted coffee or like it. It's rubbish, They even have a filter on the lid. They're coffee. Cannot be drank with out the lid on.

Your grievances about the cramped cabin size, the discomfort of sleeping comfortably except when positioned on your side, and the noise levels experienced in first class seemed misdirected, as such critiques should have been aimed at the aircraft manufacturer, Airbus, rather than Ethiopian Airways. Granting you the benefit of the doubt, I sought out your review of Etihad Airways, a carrier you had praised, only to stumble upon your review of India's Airbus A350, the same but a smaller variant of Ethiopia's A350. Notably, while assessing India's A350, you didn't complain about cabin space, sleeping comfort, or noise levels but instead, you were all smiles dancing around expressing great satisfaction praising India's A350. Even incidents like misplaced luggage by British Airways and minor delays caused by the British at Heathrow Airport seemed to provide you with an opportunity to thrash Ethiopian Airways. Also, despite them being among the most courteous, friendly, modest, and respectful in comparison to other airlines, notably, you're quick to critique Ethiopian Airways cabin crew. With two decades of experience residing in the USA, I'm familiar with the game, strategies at play, where smear campaigns are commonplace across various sectors, including the airline industry, politics, and entertainment. The stark disparity in your reactions towards Ethiopia's A350-1000 and India's A350 (both of the same model) raised suspicions about ulterior motives - it is clear that you're ether driven by financial incentives or harbor an underlying antipathy towards Black progress with a particular bias against Africa's most successful airlines. Their success has posed a threat to the status quo, prompting your biased review. On a different note, you're correct in pointing out the deficiencies in their Wi-Fi service, meals and timing; I hope that they come across your feedback and take steps to enhance these aspects, leaving little room for further criticism. I, too, share your dislike for the dramatic classical music played on board.

truth hurts you deleted my comment 😂 because i told you that you just go there to complain

I actually felt sorry for you. It was a rough day for you, but then I knew since I can see into your future, how excited you’ll be when you get to Antarctica. I still enjoyed seeing and learning about airlines that I’ll never get to fly on. Thanks - Jim

I wish i could fly the a340 one time❤

It's great that your benchmark to criticize Ethiopian Airlines is not other African Airlines but Qatar Airline. It tells ET is on the right track to become a global competitor.

Hard products separates the mediocre and the good, while soft product and ground experience seperates the good and the preimum.

Wish you show the whole cabin

See the comairco and equatorial congo livery. They get thier c checks @ bole.

Gabe I don’t think you were harsh , you simply had a mode swing prior and during the flight due to 1 missing your luggage 2 delay in diner service leading to less sleep which you were in need apparently. As expected you were fair enough in your final thoughts as it was an average flight overall . Shocking to me it’s the beginning of you to hate the A350 😂 as you noticed the noise level change . Where is your unconditional love to this aircraft type 🤓

Cant wait for the ai 777x ❤

Did you rent a car or hired a company for private transportation?

I watched this video in the "Cloud Nine Business Lounge" at Addis Abeba, and just got home after flying ET in Biz OSL-ADD-ZNZ and back within two weeks. This video perfectly summarises my own experience, even though I was on completely different flights. Im guessing people complaining about the review in the comments are either having an agenda themselves, or just haven't flown on ET recently. Love the videos Gabe - would have been cool to meet you in Addis, but you went trough a few days too early :D

Fake

Thanks!

I've stayed in the SQ lounge at Heathrow when I was just flying LHR-ARN, but that was a year or two ago. Lounges keep making up their own rules every now and then, it seems.

Africans use them coz they are really cheaper compared to other premium airlines and they have the monopoly of African aviation. But their service is truly terrible for me . I only fly them if I have no choice . Like if I’m flying within Africa and there’s no other airline on that route . Had a terrible experience with them on my flight to london and since then never ever will I use them. SAA, Air Mauritius, SA Airlink and even Kenya Airways ( if you take away their monotonous delays and cancellations) have way better service

You can still have your boarding passes on your mobile phone. Once your mobile comes through the scanner, you can show it to the security personnel frisking you.. It's no hassle, and they won't complain either... I've been flying without a printed boarding pass for more than 7-8 years.. Not once I've faced any hassle... The security personnel have always been happy to oblige us...

To much compliant,

This video felt like more of a tiresome complaint than an actual review.........

It would appear Ethiopian Airlines no longer plays their amazing boarding music on the brand new Airbus A350-1000s. However what was a real surprise to hear at 10:07 Dvořák: Symphony No. 9 "From the New World" 😲 ❤️!! I'd hardly imagine that to calm you on boarding the aircraft 😉. If the fourth movement IV. Allegro con fuoco did play it would seem like Jaws met the Lord of the Rings lol. The Airbus A350-1000 looks amazing. Are those dimmable windows only in Business. Those inflight sreens are amazing just like on their -900s, though I was in Economy. Hope they send it to Toronto someday. You sped up the landing. The views of Addis Ababa are amazing on landing. You can see that view on my channel 🙂.

If it wasn't for the lounges, i would always avoid London. Like go out of my way to not transit there. It is truly horrible. The cabin looks ... well it's not for me. And the music would truly stress me out. Even though they are the cheapest among award charts, i avoid them. Flew them once for my Kili hike, was ok.

BA have such well trained crews. Its just a pity that its run by scammy admin and robotic answers when they do something wrong. rebooked a trip with BA, their personell on phone, partial cancellation and rebook, but new ticketnumber (pnr whatever) never showed up. Was stranded in Russia for 24 hours and it cost me phonebills of 1500euro plus the ticket being lost plus a new rebooking when another airline. Needless to say, after being in the hole at around 3 grand lost, I will never be setting foot on BA again. They never reimbursed me. 10000 avios... all i got. Never used them. I went all Star Alliance/Sky Team after.

Nice choice of music again 👌

His video was basically just to complain about the airline like clearly Qatar is going to be better. Asia is the biggest continent. Emirates is even better than European airlines bet he wouldn’t go complain on them your video wasn’t helpful to people planning trips……
