This airport is extremely outdated. Please carry $, € or £. The lounges are pretty dark and have little to no facilities. Star Alliance gold members go through a separated security gate which is quick
There isn't an airport that's as bad. Long, mismanaged queues everywhere, insipid food choices, pathetic duty free, no Internet mostly and utter chaos all around. This place needs a manager.
Caramba.... As reformas precisam vir urgentemente!!! O aeroporto é muito feio! O lobby para os embarques internacionais é triste demais, freeshops são horríveis e caros! Opções de alimentação tb ruins
Если что то увидел - хватай. Через день уже не будет. Цены бывают нереально низкие. Хотя товар абсолютно нормальный. Wifi есть но долго ждать идентификации. Ком подсоединяется, тел. - нет...
If you fly Ethiopian Airlines and have a layover you can go to their service desk to get a voucher for food and/or hotel with free shuttlebus. They don't tell you - you need to ask!
Beware. Duty free goods will be taken off you on transfer flights. You get it back at baggage reclaim at end destination but it's the last thing off the plane so you wait forever!
The Ethiopian Airlineslounges does not accept up front payments for access. Plaza premium lounge at the far end of the huge departure hall is a decent alternative. At US$ 40 it is in the high end.
Small airport,: some restaurants, coffee shops, souvenirs etc. There are two business lounges with Basic service: some chaise longs, sofas, small buffet (African dishes) and Internet access.
Free Wifi available. Be prepared for mulitple times of security screening. One at the land side, another one at the air side and if you are flying to Europe and U.S, you be required to do another one.
An utter dump. The worst airport I’ve ever been to. Confusing, spread out but extremely crowded, terrible food options, no functioning wifi. And I’ve been to Kabul, Port au Prince and Kandahar.
I am a big fan of this airport. Comfyreclining chairs for naps and easy to access WiFi throughout the airport which makes life on international travels much nicer.
Its not your average airport. Lots of security and oh, avoid the many 'willing' potters who want to carry your bags as they want tips later. This country only accepts USD, Euro or GBP! The hell!?!
Addis Ababa's Bole is quite a busy airport. In times of overcrowding of boarding gates, use any alternative gate that's not overcrowded. They all lead to the same boarding place.
Terrible airport. Three times security control since the entrance, three times to remove shoes, take off laptop etc. Don’t even allow liquids bought at their Duty Free to take on board.
Its not fair that the atms are below the duty free and they don't accept birr at the duty free shops and yes free wifi and the perfume shops are a delight.
