Frequently asked questions

Is choosing an Ethiopian Airlines seat free?

Cloud Nine Business Class passengers do not pay for seat selection. In Economy Promo, Semi-Flex and Flex, the cost depends on the seat type: regular and preferred seats may be free or paid, while premium positions such as front rows and extra-legroom exit rows are sold separately. ShebaMiles tier benefits may apply. These conditions cover Ethiopian-operated flights; codeshare operators set their own rules. Seat assignments can change for operational, safety or security reasons.

Who can sit in an Ethiopian Airlines exit row?

Ethiopian requires a willing, capable adult who can understand instructions, communicate clearly, operate the exit and help other passengers evacuate without assistance. Passengers with reduced mobility or visual impairment, those traveling with infants, and people responsible for a child or another dependent passenger cannot take these seats. The airline also excludes escorted prisoners and deportees. Read the full conditions before paying for an exit-row seat.
