Do you have any tips for my flight to Addis Ababa?

  • Wherever you’re traveling, flying can be a wonderful experience if you come well prepared. First, pack your passport (or a valid ID), travel documents and medications. Next, throw in some in-flight entertainment to help the time fly by. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favorite series are a couple of good options. If you want to nap, a quality neck pillow and earplugs are also worth packing.
  • There’s a lengthy list of items you shouldn’t pack in your carry-on too. Flammables, explosives and sharps are strictly prohibited in the cabin — they often include razor blades, box cutters, aerosol cans and flares. Some sporting equipment, like martial arts weapons and baseball bats, are also not allowed in your hand luggage. Check your airline’s website for details about what you can and can’t take on board.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Whether traveling short or long-haul, layering up is key to a comfortable flight. Wear loose, breathable fabrics that will keep you cool and pack a sweater to cope with any changes in cabin temperatures. Your feet will be happy in a pair of sneakers or closed-toe shoes.
  • The condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It’s the result of blood clotting caused by inactivity and poor circulation. Strolling up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises while seated can prevent it developing. Wearing compression tights or socks can also help to reduce your risk.

How can I get a cheap last-minute flight to Addis Ababa?
Finding a cheap, spur-of-the-moment flight to Addis Ababa is as easy as having some flexibility with your travel plans. Have some leeway with your choice of carrier, travel dates and flight times. If your destination has multiple airports, compare the prices of jetting into each of them for the best deal.
Where can I learn more about changing or canceling my flight to Addis Ababa?
Most flights are free to cancel within 24 hours of making the reservation. However, some flights are non-refundable, and you may receive a flight credit from the airline to use for a future booking. For more information, please visit our Customer Service Portal.
