Ethiopian Airlines Manage Booking allows you to make changes, add services, and keep track of your reservation details. Here are some tips on how to manage your Ethiopian Airlines booking:
Check Your Booking Details
The first step is to check the details of your existing flight booking. You can do this on the Ethiopian Airlines website or mobile app. Enter your booking reference and last name. This will bring up details like your flight times, seat number, destination, contact info etc. Review all the details to make sure they are correct.
Change Your Flight
If you need to make a change to your flight - like the date, routing or destination - you can do so directly on the Ethiopian Airlines website or app. There is typically a flight change fee that must be paid, unless you booked a flexible "change anytime free" type of fare. Fees vary so check on the fees page before changing.
Make any changes to your flight at least 24 hours before departure time, for the lowest fees. Major changes close to the travel date can result in higher fees. Changes can only be made up to 4 hours before departure.
Upgrade Your Seat
Ethiopian Airlines offers extra legroom seats and business class seats for an additional fee. You can upgrade an existing economy booking to a preferred seat or cabin. Use the "Manage My Booking" tool online to see available upgrades and their cost.
Upgrades are subject to availability in the new cabin/seat type. Usually the earlier you upgrade, the more upgrade options are available at the lowest fees. Same-day upgrades at the airport may also be possible, if seats are available.
Add Baggage Allowance
In order to add checked bags to your booking, or increase the number of bags beyond the default allowance, you can pre-pay for extra checked baggage up to 24 hours before departure. Use the "Manage My Booking" tool to add and pre-pay for bags.
Note that only 1 free carry-on bag is permitted on Ethiopian Airlines, with weight limits. Overweight or extra bags must be checked and paid for at the airport. Save money by pre-paying online in advance.
Order Special Meals
To request special meals like low salt, low fat, vegetarian, Kosher, Halal, etc; you must inform Ethiopian Airlines at least 24 hours before departure time. You can note special dietary requirements in the manage booking section. Confirm that your special meal request has been processed before travel.
Select Seats
Most Economy class fares do not include pre-reserved seats. You can pick and change seats after ticketing using the airline app or website seat maps, for free. Seat selection may be limited 48 hours before departure. Pay extra for preferred Economy seats or Economy Extra legroom seats to guarantee space.
Use the online seat maps to browse available spaces. Choose seats together if traveling with others. Standard seats are allocated at check-in if none are pre-selected.
So in summary, be sure to utilize the Manage My Flight Booking capability on the Ethiopian Airlines website or app to take care of any changes to your flights, seats, meals or bags. Act quickly to avoid any fees for late changes. Monitor your booking right up until departure for a smooth trip.
