Join me on a unique journey as I fly with Ethiopian Airlines. My experience begins at Addis Ababa Bole International Airport, where chaos reigns at security. Inside the Ethiopian Airlines 777-300ER, the adventure continues. Despite its sleek exterior, the cabin tells a different story – worn and not as clean as expected.

The flight has its share of surprises: a malfunctioning in-flight entertainment system and a leaking ceiling. Despite these setbacks, the generous legroom in the emergency row is a plus, though the absence of a window is a downside.

The food service, surprisingly decent for a short flight, offers a small comfort. However, the real excitement kicks in during takeoff and landing. A go-around due to a traffic alert adds an unexpected twist to the journey, making for a memorable experience.

This trip with Ethiopian Airlines is certainly one for the books, full of highs and lows, and a stark reminder that every flight is an adventure in itself.

About Ethiopian Airlines (from Wikipedia):
Ethiopian Airlines (Amharic: የኢትዮጵያ አየር መንገድ, romanized: Ye-Ītyōṗṗyā āyer menged), formerly Ethiopian Air Lines (EAL), is the flag carrier of Ethiopia, and is wholly owned by the country's government. EAL was founded on 21 December 1945 and commenced operations on 8 April 1946, expanding to international flights in 1951. The firm became a share company in 1965 and changed its name from Ethiopian Air Lines to Ethiopian Airlines.

The airline has been a member of the International Air Transport Association since 1959 and of the African Airlines Association (AFRAA) since 1968. Ethiopian is a Star Alliance member, having joined in December 2011. The company slogan is 'The New Spirit of Africa.' Ethiopian's hub and headquarters are at Bole International Airport in Addis Ababa, from where it serves a network of 155 passenger destinations—22 of them domestic—and 68 freighter destinations. The airline has secondary hubs in Togo and Malawi. Ethiopian Airlines is Africa's largest airline in terms of passengers carried, destinations served, fleet size, and revenue. Ethiopian is also the world's fourth-largest airline by the number of countries served.

About the Boeing 777 (from Wikipedia):
The Boeing 777, commonly referred to as the Triple Seven, is an American long-range wide-body airliner developed and manufactured by Boeing Commercial Airplanes. The 777 is the world's largest twinjet and the most-built wide-body airliner. The jetliner was designed to bridge the gap between Boeing's other wide body airplanes, the twin-engined 767 and quad-engined 747, and to replace aging DC-10 and L-1011 trijets. Developed in consultation with eight major airlines, the 777 program was launched in October 1990, with an order from United Airlines. The prototype was rolled out in April 1994, and first flew in June. The 777 entered service with the launch operator United Airlines in June 1995. Longer-range variants were launched in 2000, and first delivered in 2004.
