    The food itself in the meal service looked decent enough, but the dish with the dessert in it seemed to have a long crack in the corner. Plus it looked like there was a chunk missing out of the tray it was all served on. This is a big potential safety issue! Staff or passengers could cut themselves on sharp edges, broken bits of dishes can end up in the food, and cracks like the one in the dessert bowl can harbor bacteria.

    I flew Ethiopian Airlines Gaborone - Addis Ababa - Heathrow ( economy ) The Gaborone Addis Ababa flight ( 5 hrs ) no entertainment and easily the worst in flight food I have ever had. Chicken and rice which felt like it had come straight from the fridge.Addis Ababa was not much better. For three days after flight was very sick with food poisoning. What I can say is the cabin crew were friendly though on The Gaborone Addis Ababa leg after serving passengers they sat in the business class seats and slept. Flight was 11 December 2023 I know it’s economy class but really? Having flown economy Emirates there is just no comparison.

    If you want to go with ethiopian airlines you want to keep extra luggage in your hand like dress daily use because you will never get baggage on the same flight when you land . A few days after you will get it. You will lose your connection flight money and time I traveled two times by international flights but I received baggage after 4 days

    Flying with Ethiopian Airlines in Economy or Business on African routes is always a mixed-bag. I've had some great flights & some outright shockers. My last one was interesting as the galley crew allowed passengers to move to the emergency exit seats after take-off even though emergency exit seats shouldn't be offered to passengers unless they pay for it at check-in, the gate or onboard; on Emirates or Qatar, you cannot arbitrarily move to an exit seat.

I have to wait my connection 7 hrs even they didn't offer me to stay hotel and no proper food in the Airport they offer me I was so disappointed my family I told they time I reach Djibouti. They tired and they went go back home again my second transit they do same thing the other thing it is not safe the pilot do not get enough rest. My sister who came from Saudi Arabia via Addis Ababa her luggage was open and stolen.

      wait wait are you the one sleep with the pilot?? how did you know that the pilot got a rest or not? it doesn't make sense. also Ethiopian airlines offers customers in terminal and out terminal hotels if their layover time is 8 hours and above. you connection flight was 7 hour layover so it is upto you to get enough information about connection flights and layover times and select airlines that fits you so it is not the airlines fault.
