It was my first time experiencing a direct flight from Dublin to LA! It is the way to travel. Very friendly staff with a decent entertainment movie/tv selection.
Minor on this front but boarding/taking off was delayed by over an hour. Also I would recommend bringing your own food.. The food not very good at all. (Not that airplane food is ever amazing!!
The flight staff did an outstanding job of trying to keep everyone comfortable and responded in a timely fashion to the request of the passengers. On my midnight flight to Dublin from LAX, there were a lot of crying children on board and the flight staff did everything they could to accommodate the parents in an attempt to keep them calm and not disturb the rest of the passengers so much. The flight staff was very attentive, as a person who never eats airline food the flight attendant noticed that and asked if I was feeling okay and said if I wanted or needed anything to be sure to ask. So even with a lot of stuff going on, I still received personalized service.
At LAX once boarding started it took almost an hour to get everyone seated and then we spent extra time waiting to authorization for take off and the same thing happened on my return trip from Dublin Airport we had a late boarding and take off which delayed our arrival to LAX by 45 mins. I know there are flight delays all the time for a variety of reasons but as a first time user of Ethiopian Airlines I was a little disappointed, but I would use the airline again.
The actual aircraft was well maintained and inviting. The crew and the food, as always, was outstanding.
Two things: 1) My screen wasn't functioning properly. I did tell a crew member and she re-started it for me; but, it continued to glitch and was, for the most part, unusable. (The touch screen was unresponsive and kept getting stuck). 2) When the person in front of me reclined, her seat was very close to my face, giving me very little room. I didn't want to do the same thing to the person behind me, so I kept my seat upright, which didn't help. I only got up once during the whole flight and I know it was uncomfortable for the reclining person because there was no way to exit without jostling her.
Connection desk and gate attendance were the only people who tried to help fix the mistakes made by the people in madrid. Global access allowed to quicken our time spent going home after the mets that was our flight home.
the attendant at the connection desk did not understand why we had not been given boarding passes or allowed to check in to our flights in madrid. the gate attendants did not understand that even though we were numbers 72 and 73 person processed we were not allowed to check in, receive boarding passes or allowed to sit next to my sister who's reservation was connected to mine
Everything was excellent, aided my the fact that there was fewer passengers than normal transatlantic flights. Coach seats seemed roomier and very comfortable.
Only issue was some of the movies had very low maximum volume.
flight was delayed due to failure of airline to prepare: we sat in plane without air conditioning and without water for more than an hour while we waited to board passengers because airline was not prepared to check in the size of the flight it had booked. then our bags got left behind in iceland because the transfer happened too quickly and the airline's baggage subcontractor in boston mishandled our bags and another fiasco ensued.
clean. Seat covers nice and clean. furniture color scheme pleasant.
1. Seat distance by far too less.
2. seat width on the borderline of being acceptable.
3.. No entertainment, not even a flight info screen available.
4. Only instant coffee available. If it is instant, cappuccino or other café specialities should be available. Emirates and Etihad make the example.
5. Food okay - but not for french airline. No innovation, no thought in it. Standard "how do I get the cattle fed the cheapest possible" food.
6. Electrical / USB / Network plugs or WIFI unknown.
