Ethiopian airline ticket 'doesn't exist' after booking through Vayama.

I almost wish I hadn't used them because when I try to check my flight status or check in its says that the flight doesnt exist. What can I do.

When I purchased the tickets through Vayama they gave an electronic ticket which could be printed. It had the Flight number, ticket number, name, check in code. Whenever I try and enter any one of those on the Ethiopian Airlines website it tells me invalid flight

I've had many Ethiopian Airlines itineraries booked for me through my awful work travel agent, and had this same problem with every single one. Your itinerary exists, and Ethiopian has track of it somewhere, it's just that their website is hopelessly broken.

Try calling Ethiopian Airlines and asking them to confirm your itinerary and provide you with an accurate confirmation number.

What GDS does Ethiopian use? Have you tried entering the PNR into classic.checkmytrip.com for example?

What did Ethiopian say when you called to ask?

Check on the Saudiairlines.com site and see if it's there. Check my bookings and search my ticket number.

If you have an e-ticket number, it's a 13 digit only number, usually preceded by ETKT
not just the PNR (6 alpha numberic, also called record locator) then you're good.

The 6 character code is just the booking. The 13 digit means it has been ticketed. I think you said you had the ticket number, in which case you're all good.
