"seat/bed is comfortable"

(United Kingdom)

Not Verified | There are two configs on the A350, the 2x2x2 & the staggered seating. My preference is for the older seating it is less cramped. The seat/bed is comfortable. The meals are excellent especially the Ethiopian Cuisine. All the flights were on time and the service level on the aircraft exemplary. The Biz lounge at Addis is great, albeit a bit of a scrum 0700-1000 when all the transits/ transfers take place. I have used them twice on the UK -JNB route, better timings than EK or Qatar

"okay legroom and recline"

(Malawi)

Trip Verified | Was much better than I thought the seat would be, okay legroom and recline, screen was satisfactory and there were adequate ports (USB, Power, AUX). Their A350s are much better than their 787s so find a route with the A350.

"Seat had much legroom"

(Singapore)

Trip Verified | Seat had much legroom, I’m 5’10 or 1.75m and had so much legroom, seat was clean with amenities. In flight entertainment was good, what a surprise.

"worst seat I’ve ever been in"

(South Africa)

Trip Verified | 6 across on a Boeing 767 is tight in business class, only 1 less than economy, and possibly the worst seat I’ve ever been in. Thankfully I had an empty seat next to me. Think twice before flying this aircraft.

"crew can sleep on those seats"

(Thailand)

Trip Verified | Please see the attached picture and draw your own conclusion about how much the airline cares for its passengers. Apparently, the crew mess up the seats to deter passengers so that crew can sleep on those seats.

"recommend this airline"

(United States)

Verified Review | I flew from Washington DC to Conakry in the Republic of Guinea on their Boeing 787. The flight quality, the service and the meal onboard was excellent. I will highly recommend this airline to all my friends.

"seat was nice and wide"

(Egypt)

One of the best airplanes I've ever been on, my seat was nice and wide. Thankfully I was travelling with my friends which gave me more comfort. IFE's showing the safety video and we took off. Soon after we were served dinner (It was tasty).

"disappointed with the seats"

(Malawi)

Was excited about flying on the new Boeing 787 from PEK to ADD but was utterly disappointed with the seats. They were so narrow that you could hardly move around (I'm not the largest person by any stretch of the imagination). In comparison to the B777 Economy Class seats these are by far the worse. Awful legroom and recline.

"recommend for seat comfort"

(United Kingdom)

I found the seats on the Ethiopian Airlines Boeing 777 300 superior to many European and Gulf airlines I have flown. Not having 4 seats in the centre means that the seats are wider and much more comfortable. The 32 inch pitch is more than adequate and I am 6 feet tall. The IFE screens are on par with most airlines and I never had a problem with them at all on either the JNB-ADD leg or ADD-LHR. I would recommend this airline for seat comfort.

"very uncomfortable"

(Philippines)

The Boeing 767-300ER economy cabin seats look and feel like they are from the 80's and are very uncomfortable. There is very little leg room, the head rest only goes up about half an inch, the arm rests lift up but not far enough to clear the seat when half reclined. They need to invest a little money and update some of the older planes
