How much is a flight to Ethiopia?
Loads of fabulous deals were up for grabs this week, with return flights to Ethiopia fluctuating from $909 to $1,539. But it was passengers beginning their trip from Washington (IAD) who scored the biggest bargains. One-way flights to Ethiopia fell to a low $479.
How to book the cheapest flight to Ethiopia?
With some of the most amazing flight deals around, a bargain is always waiting for you with Orbitz. The following suggestions will help you score cheap flights to Ethiopia — and leave you with extra cash in your wallet:

  • Depending on your departure point, click on the 'Nearby airports' function (located under the departure and arrival form fields). Sometimes, other departure points offer more value for money.
  • If your plans aren't set in concrete, click on the 'Show flexible dates' option to compare flight deals across different departure dates. You may find an amazing fare.
  • Select 'Show options' to refine your search results. You can pick your preferred airline and seating class here. Under 'Sort & Filter' to the left, you can even select whether you'd like to fly in the morning, afternoon or evening.
  • The early bird catches the most rewarding deals, so purchase your seats once you've settled on your travel dates. The most affordable fares sell fast and prices generally climb as the departure date gets closer.
  • Save more on your getaway by bundling your flights, hotels and car rental into a package. Your travel budget will thank you for it.
  • If you can, don't fly in the busy season. Airfares surge during school breaks, summer and around other vacation times like Thanksgiving and Christmas.

What is the best time to book a flight to Ethiopia?
On average, the cheapest time to reserve a plane ticket is in January. This is closely followed by February and August. When looking for a cheap flight to Ethiopia, it's always good to be ready to book. Cheap deals appear suddenly and don't hang around!
What day of the week is the cheapest to book a flight to Ethiopia?
When it comes to cheap airfares to Ethiopia, the best days to book are generally Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Saturdays. A rewarding flight deal is just a few clicks away with Orbitz.
What is the cheapest day of the week to fly to Ethiopia?
According to Orbitz data from 2020, you should kick off your trip on a Monday to score cheap flights to Ethiopia. Next most affordable day? Tuesday. Saturday costs the most. So, depart early in the week if you want to book a wallet-friendly fare and stretch your travel budget.
What is the cheapest month to fly to Ethiopia?
We won't keep you in suspense — based on Orbitz data, August is generally the most inexpensive month to fly. Ideal for those who want to sneak in a weekend getaway or simply escape from it all before the weather changes. The least affordable time to fly is the height of summer, with fares at their highest in June.
Which airlines allow free cancellation?
When you search for flights on Orbitz, click on "Filter by flexible change policies." This filter will quickly find all the airlines offering free cancellation and no change fees. Relax knowing that if your travel dates change, your ticket can too.
What do I need for the flight to Ethiopia?
A lengthy journey can seem daunting, but it's nothing a little preparation can't fix. We've put together our top tips and tricks to make sure your journey is a smooth one:

  • You'll need to present identification such as your passport. To avoid delays while checking in, make sure you book your flight tickets using the same name as your official ID. It's good to have digital copies of important documents too, just to be safe!
  • If you're jetting directly to Ethiopia, it's likely you'll be in the air for quite a while. Take lots of snacks and things to keep you amused. Now is the time to get stuck into that book you've been dying to read!
  • Long-haul voyages are known to get very cold, especially if you're flying throughout the night. If you don't want to shiver in your seat, bring a warm layer and some thick socks.

How do I get cheap first-class/business deals to Ethiopia?
There are ways of booking business or first-class tickets to Ethiopia that won't burn through your budget. Grab a seat at the front of the plane for less with these great tips:

  • Flexibility isn't just useful for your yoga. Avoid locking in your travel dates so you can pick up more affordable airfares when a big sale comes along.
  • Search for a low-cost carrier that has seats in business class. They often come with extra space and a glass of bubbly — but without the premium price.
  • Bid for an upgrade. Some carriers hold online auctions that let you put down a price for a seat at the front of the plane. You may also be able to upgrade with points earned through a flight rewards program.

What is the best time to go to Ethiopia?
Ethiopia is an exciting vacation destination year-round, but the most popular months are June, July and October. If you love warmer weather, consider visiting in summer. Like most places in the Northern Hemisphere, the summer season begins June 20. Temperatures typically drift between 65 ºF and 85 ºF during the daytime.
Travel tips for Ethiopia

  • Ethiopia is filled with amazing attractions and Market is one of them. Grab a car rental and cruise there at your convenience.
  • Addis Ababa offers stacks of fun experiences and is a great place to start your getaway. Whether you're into restaurants, cafés, art or something else, this city will keep you busy.
