Tips for booking Ethiopian Airlines flights

Addis Ababa as an Africa hub

Ethiopian's Addis Ababa hub offers one of the widest Africa networks of any carrier. If you're traveling to multiple African countries, connecting via ADD often beats routing through European hubs on price and schedule.

Star Alliance earning on Ethiopian

Ethiopian is a Star Alliance member — United MileagePlus and other Star Alliance programs earn miles on Ethiopian flights. ShebaMiles (Ethiopian's program) also partners with select credit cards.

Book early for peak Africa travel

December holidays and summer peak season drive up fares on U.S.–Africa routes. Booking 3 to 5 months ahead secures the best prices, especially for Business Class award availability.
