Not on this deal, but I have taken an ADD-CDG flight which was going on to BRU - on disembarking at CDG everyone had their BPs checked at the aircraft door to make sure that CDG was their destination. My understanding is that this is SOP for ET, and therefore I think that you will not be able to get off at ARN if you're ticketed to OSL.

Just checked my booking and now I can see a big red banner that one of my flights got changed. All segments are still in business, but seat selection disappeared from OSL-ADD and ADD-OSL legs... All flights times seems to be roughly what I booked... there's a prompt to call the airline to discuss my option. Note fare rules no longer load.
Is it the first sight of ET preparing themselves to downgrade those tickets?

Unfortunately had to cancel this awesome ticket :-( A conference I really want to attend announced their dates and it collided with my excursion to Cape Town...
Requested a cancellation and refund from London office via email, they've responded within a week confirming cancellation and refund. Refund took 3 days despite being delegated to the Oslo office.

Equipment change ADD-CPT - now B77L.
I checked my CPT itinerary for Oct on ET webpage - I have the same schedule change for OSL-ADD as you guys (but it doesn't seem to be any significant change 
) and I also lost seat assignment.
I also noted that ADD-CPT r/t is no longer B787 but 777-200lr (B77L). The C seats seem to be the same so I doubt it ruings anything.

I booked this OSL-JNB. Also had schedule change emails: logged in to the website and no significant change so didn't call. Flew it all no problem, on line check in worked, had multiple schedule change emails which were actually type changes between ADD and JNB. What should have been A350s both ways became a B787 and a B777-200LR via a -300ER. Was quite impressed by Ethiopian on-board, service and food was better than expected, aircraft a bit tatty with lack of cabin maintenance. ADD airport was OK, hot food selection in the lounge was exemplary.

Currently sitting in ADD cloud nine lounge on the way to SEZ on this deal from OSL. This has been one of my best grabs of the year for the obvious reason of a cheap J far that earns me 125% mileage with AC but also because this was a special flight. The Crown Prince on Norway and his lady was sharing the J cabin with us.
The whole thing was like a inauguration flight, complete with press, champagne at the gate and it was pretty cool to sit a couple rows behind a Crown Prince and his bodyguards.
Btw we had zero issues checking in so anyone that has further upcoming flights in this deal should be A-OK

So my turn
Sat on board Dreamliner about to depart very light load to Stockholm under fifty people, FA said sixteen people booked to ADD in cloud nine so room to spread out. Champagne and orange juice served before departure, plane very clean with American 👨.✈️ pilot. No problems doing Online Check In and Norwegian Airlines plane on time from LGW
