Well I wouldn't fly 13 hours to go to Ethiopia.


Ethiopia is amazing.

That's exactly what I thought when I saw that. I will never, under any circumstances, fly them. Or Aeroflot, aka Aeroplop


Yeah, I would've connected via Europe without question instead of flying them.

This is terrible. Ugh.
Good luck -- hopefully you get to your destination safely.

So been stuck in the plane for almost 5 hours going nowhere. Oh, this is also for. 13+ hour flight we haven't even started yet ....

Flying is so much fun these days.


I would lose my f'ing mind. Planes are so ridiculously uncomfortable that it should be against the law for them to leave you stranded on the tarmac that long.


In fact, as talked about earlier in the thread, it is against the law.

Ethiopian is my most hated airlines. I once showed up and there was no seat. Just a piece of metal. Also always bring your own food. It’s the only time I’ve ever gotten sick from airplane food. And the Addis airport sucks. I avoid it all cost but am sometimes forced to take it on my work trips to Africa. HATE IT.
