This is NOT a promotional video. I pay for all of my flights and hotels (and I always tell you how much!) so I can be as honest and impartial as possible. I do not receive any special treatment that wouldn’t otherwise be publicly accessible, in fact, the hotels and airlines have no idea about my visit and that’s the way I like it!

I think Ethiopian actually has direct aisle access for their new a350s i feel like their hard product is too inconsistent for it to be truly great
They serve cheap booze and give away sub-standard amenity kits. No reason to fly with them unless you get a super deal.
Hey kevin , been subscribed for a long time now and really miss your lead in music on this video , such great signature music theme
Isn't strange how ITA (the home carrier) doesn't have lasagna in their lounge?! What has this world come to? Hahahaha… Man, ET really does feed you, and the food looked really good. I have a thing for inflight meals and I would definitely love to experience that! Another great video.
Thank you
How the FUCK do you not have 600k subs by now?
What's wrong with YouTube's SEO?
Ethiopia airline is the pried of Africa build by the African Good service best food smooth flight 🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹
The menu indicated a 2nd meal service of coffee and pastries, which I'm guessing would have been the pre-landing breakfast. Did they not serve it since you don't mention anything about it?
What is your opinion on PAL, Phillippins airlines, please let me know.thanks.
Not everyone watch videos through a PC device; hence no access to the description. I watch it though my smart tv and it doesn’t show descriptions. PLEASE ADD IMPORTANT INFORMATION SUCHA AS FARES TO THE VIDEO. I truly dislike when the content creator leave important information as homework for the viewer.
Shame! Every time I fly Ethopian airline, theie is always a problem with my bags. They should improve on their laugage handling. It is so useless !
even African airlines are better than most US base carriers its sad that how behind we are when its comes to hospitality!
I like what you do Kevin; subscribed!

I think you made a mistake when you say libration. From whom we are librated please explain.Ethiopia never colonaised if that what you mean.just for your information
wow your explanation vary nice!
British airways doesn't have a lounge for business class. You use another in Roma which is dark dank and crap. It's may be the ita lounge. I did appreciate the design of fumancino and also they have a smoking room when you touch down in arrivals. So odd!!
ኢትዮጵያ ሀገሬ የኔ ፍቅር ሁሉ አለሽ
ኢትዮጵያ ሀገሬ የኔ ፍቅር ሁሉ አለህ ሰላም ኢትዮጵያን ኤርሂትሪን እንፀልይ አንድ ነን፣ የትግራይ ተወላጆች ሊያከብሩን ግድ ነው!
just one correction. we ethiopians do not have a liberation date rather we have a victory day. No nation has colonised ethiopia. It is the only black nation on earth remained free from its creation.
Having say this, I like your geniune review on ethiopian air lines. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
We lost our luggage like two months ago, no one called me back even after countless times I wrote and called them through their customer service number in Leonardo da Vinci airport, even after being a client with them for so long, very disappointed and lost very valuable documents am actually speaking with my lawyer as I write… Very very unprofessional
