I have booked the fare OSL-ADD-SEZ.


Now in my Ethiopin itinerary there is a strange comment under fare rules:


There were problems retrieving the fare rules associated to your itinerary. Please call the Airline.


Everything else seems normal. Since I have a Infant in my booking, I will have to call the Airline eventually to reserve a bassinet seat, however I will wait for a month

Is traveling with an infant via ADD from a health perspective really a good idea?

xxpert

Depending on what your idea of fun is ADD can either be loads of fun or hellish.

Traffic is is a mess, public transport is an even bigger mess, dusty and polluted air quality, hotels can be expensive for the quality level.

On the other hand, great nightlife, some of the best food I've had (both Ethiopian and international cuisine)I've eaten the best Italian food I've ever had including in ItAly at a small place called Castelli, great coffee and friendly people.

With that being said you don't go to Ethiopia for the capital city, you go to Ethiopia for the rich history ( 2nd oldest Christian civilization, *Arc of the covenant, Lalibela monument) that is found in areas such as Axum, Lalibela etc.

xxpert

Coz Ethiopian women give birth to fully grown adults?

All jokes aside side exactly what health concerns are you referring to?

Now I am also concerned, since to be hones I have not considered any health related issues?


I suppose he will survive 1:30h in ADD :-)

can anyone confirm, either from this sale or the error last year that Ethiopian (ET) CRTNO - Class C is fully cancellable?

I've got an itinerary on hold for another 12 hours and don't know whether to pull the trigger or not, being cancellable will probably settle the dilemma

xxpert

If you are only planning to stay in Addis than you have as much health concerns to worry about as being in Paris. On the other hand if you decide to go to rural areas, vaccinations are highly recommended.

When traveling to most third world countries, you want to avoid drinking tap water or eating uncooked vegetables or fruits unless you enjoy frequent trips to the toilet

Same issue here for that route in November. If you try to book a new business class ticket on the ET website, though, fare rules also show as unavailable.

Guess I'll wait and see what happens!

Shl

Thanks for posting, so this means no penalties and full refund for cancellations before taking the flight (according to the rules posted with the original fare)?
