Best things to do and see in Ethiopia

Where can you fly directly into Ethiopia from?

The two most popular airports from which you can fly directly to Ethiopia are Dulles International Airport (IAD) and Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI). Ethiopian Air is the only airline offering nonstop flights to Ethiopia from IAD and BWI, with Addis Ababa Bole International Airport (ADD) serving as the destination airport. However, in addition to the direct flights, you stand a better chance of getting exciting Ethiopian flight deals if you book one-stop or two-stop flights from IAD or BWI. Turkish Airlines, American Airlines, and Emirates are some of the airlines you can reliably book if you are looking for one-stop flights to Addis Ababa Bole International Airport, Ethiopia. If you fly with American Airlines, for instance, you will be having a 9h 55min layover at Frankfurt Airport (FRA). On the other hand, from IAD, Dubai International Airport (DXB) and Istanbul International Airport (IST) serve as the layover airports for Emirates and Turkish Airlines, respectively. For two-stop flights to Ethiopia, consider booking LAM and Air France. You will be departing from either IAD or Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA). Whether you are flying with LAM or Air France, you will have a 3h 10min layover at Milan Malpensa airport (MXP) and another 2h 25min layover at John F Kennedy International Airport (JFK) before proceeding to the final destination in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. In addition to IAD, BWI, and DCA, you can also get connecting flights to Addis Ababa Bole International Airport, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia from Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) and Chicago O’Hare International Airport (ORD). Ethiopian Air and American Airlines have the highest frequency of daily flights from BOS and ORD to ADD, Ethiopia.

How do you get to the downtown from the Ethiopia airport?

You have three main transport options when getting out of Addis Ababa Bole International Airport (ADD), which is the only airport serving as the destination for flights from different cities in the US to Ethiopia. Among those options, buses are the most affordable and reliable. Ethiopia Bus Lines 2 and 4 provide direct connections from Terminal 2 of the airport to the city center. These bus services are available at the airport 24/7. Every 30 minutes, there is a bus leaving the airport heading to the Addis Ababa city center. Apart from buses, you can use a taxi to get out of ADD to the city center. Taxis are slightly more expensive than buses but offer a faster way of getting to the city center from the airport. While buses from ADD take about 35 minutes to get to the city center, a taxi takes about 20 minutes. Taxis are available at the parking lot located immediately outside the terminal building, a short distance from the baggage claim area. The third transport option when connecting to the city center from ADD is the use of rental cars. A number of rental car companies, including ABC and Unique, have their desks inside the airport. Therefore, those who prefer renting a car upon landing at ADD can enjoy a hassle-free process.

What passport or visa requirements are there when visiting Ethiopia?

All travelers entering Ethiopia, including US citizens, must have visas. For convenience, you should print and carry a copy of the e-visa.
