Ethiopian Airlines offers a solid Business Class on the A350 with lie-flat seats in a 2-2-2 layout, good entertainment, and regular drink service. The cabin, however, shows signs of wear quickly. As a Miles & More redemption, the DXB-ADD-ZRH routing is an attractive value proposition thanks to low taxes and a long lie-flat rest period.
The Ethiopian Airways Business Class amenity kit impresses with a comprehensive and practical selection of items. In addition to the usual toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm, and sleep mask, it also includes hand sanitizer and socks — a great kit for long-haul travelers.
The Ethiopian Cloud9 Lounge in Addis Ababa is a solid business class lounge with a generous layout, clean facilities, and a good food and beverage selection featuring both local and international options. Minor shortcomings in build quality and unreliable showers slightly tarnish the picture, but are offset by dedicated staff. For travel within the African continent, Addis Ababa as a connecting hub and Ethiopian Airlines are a recommendable alternative to the Gulf carriers.
