I’m currently at Dulles waiting to board my flight to Addis Ababa. The checkin in process for the Ethiopian airlines was surprisingly quick and easy. I thought there might be a problem since I couldn’t checkin online. The reason I couldn’t checkin online was 2 fold. My visa for Ghana had to be confirmed and probably the biggest surprise of the day, there was an equipment change. I would be flying on 787 Dreamliner.
I’m super excited to finally be able to fly on a 787. The 787 for Ethiopian should also feature their new business class product which I’m also excited about. One puzzling thing though is my flight departs at 11:00am but boarding starts at 10:00am. Could the boarding process be that bad?
Since I was flying business class was granted the use of the Star Alliance lounge. I took a pass and went to the Air France Lounge instead since it was closer to my gate. I’m about to board my 13 hour flight but I’ll add more post throughout my journey.
