Ethiopian Airlines baggage policy
Ethiopian Airlines sets baggage allowances by fare class and destination. As a rule of thumb, premium cabins include two or more checked bags, standard economy includes one on long-haul routes, and the lowest fares may charge for everything beyond a personal item. Prepaying bags at ticketing is nearly always cheaper than paying at the airport, and our agents add baggage at the lowest published rate when they issue your ticket. See our extra baggage service for details.
Ethiopian Airlines cancellation policy
Cancellation on Ethiopian Airlines depends on where and how the ticket was issued. US-originating bookings carry 24-hour free cancellation; after that, expect a cash refund on flexible fares and airline credit on most others. If Ethiopian Airlines cancels your flight, you're entitled to a full refund regardless of fare type. Need help right now? Our cancellation desk reviews your ticket free of charge.
Ethiopian Airlines date change policy
Most Ethiopian Airlines tickets can be moved to new dates; the cost is the fare difference plus any fee your fare class carries. Same-day changes and standby options exist on many routes for a flat fee or free for elite members. We compare every rebooking path before you commit. More on our date change service.
Ethiopian Airlines check-in information
You can check in for Ethiopian Airlines flights online or in-app starting 24–48 hours before departure. For international departures from the US, plan to arrive 3 hours early; boarding gates typically close 15–20 minutes before pushoff.
