- čas přidán 5. 08. 2024
- Did you know you can fly Ethiopian Airlines from Stockholm to Oslo, a quick 40-minute hop on a 787 Dreamliner? It’s what they call a fifth-freedom flight and it’s pretty fun as an option on this route, but is it a good alternative to SAS or Norwegian? Not really, and you’ll find out exactly why in the video! Complete with takeoff in quite a bit of rain and a rather steep descent into sunny Oslo. This is Part 1 of a little mini-Euro adventure trip which sees us flying next on the Aer Lingus A330 from Dublin to Faro and then the Jet2 757 from Faro to Manchester!

#ethiopianairlines #787 #economyclass
Great to have you back on Friday with another terrific review.
I have flown this Airline several times over the years. I rarely encounter cleanness issues. the food is good, the crew are friendly and the airline is generally safe.
Good to know, thanks!
Super video. ✈️ Thanks. ☘️.
🥰Thanks for sharing 🙏👍👏👏👏
Take a flight to Skiathos in Greece. The runway is very unique. Also island hoping with turboprops in the Aegean islands is a pretty unique experience I think
I have just flown the jet 2 757 from Palma in Spain back to Manchester.Make the most of it.....those 757,s are not going to be around for much longer and I love a 757.😊
Wow that lavatory is dirty! I had a great experience with Ethiopian flying from São Paulo - Guarulhos to Buenos Aires - Ezeiza, also on board a 787.
I took this flight home from Oslo a few years ago. Or, actually, I was booked on it, only to discover the passport thing when I tried to check in for my flight. So I had to stay the night in OSL and take a regular SAS flight home the next morning instead. Live and learn..
Yeah its true they don't clean the plane after that long flight from Ethiopia! Had the same problem as you, the plane was extremely dirty.. But all in all its an awesome flight for some aviation enthusiasts like us
Amazing video, What camera do you use?
Beautiful video!
Thank you!
Wow, I've never seen a Dreamliner cabin that worn out.
I agree...too much crude and grime. If I had to be on a long-haul in that plane I'd be very grossed out. Ugh. Pass! Thanks for an informative clip!
I do not understand how Ethiopian can generate profit between Europe and Addis. The planes are flying only at night, during the day they are parked in an airport in Europe and they do almost systematically this short trip between two European cities. Some of this European flights are even not allowed to take any passenger (MXP-ZRH for example).
what seat is that?
There are a thousand reports on youtube with 'super visible' grime on camera inside the cabins of major airlines... hardly weird. The only thing I agree with is the condition of the lavatories. But then again, it only takes a passenger or two to create the mess we see here. This report looks suspiciously identical to another Ethiopian 5th freedom report by Patrick Shea, right down to the title. "I'm not particularly rushing to get on Ethiopian soon"- after only a 40min trip on an older aircraft that has just done 8hrs? A bit too dramatic for FR24... but still your biggest fan though!
Such a large aircraft for a short flight is that making financial sense? Thanks for the video though, not that I am flying Ethiopian airlines soon, the plane was a mess ! Just FYI from the USA, my wife and I just got back from Hawaii flying mostly in a 787 - 10 (Polaris Business Class) pricier than usual, but everything is going up. We both flew for FREE this time due to all of our other contributions to United Polaris Class making it even more comfy. Looking forward to the rest of YOUR lengthy trip.
Remember that plane comes from ethiopia and they just stop at both capitals. It's like covering everybody coming from addis ababa to both stockholm and oslo at once.
I flew their Dreamliner 4 times, round flight from São Paulo GRU to Seoul ICN via Addis Ababa and had the unfortunate experience that my seat was dirty and worn and the windows scratched from the inside. Worst part was that I booked the same seat 33K for the next leg and it was the same plane that flew GRU-ADD, unfortunately the flight from ADD to ICN was full so I needed to deal with that for almost 24 hours.
Other than that it was a good experience, most of the crew was very friendly!
Hey! im gonna be taking this flight in September and just got an email from Ethiopian saying I need a Schengen visa. I have a Canadian passport and got into Norway from Ireland just fine last year. Do I need a visa? or is it just for passengers flying from Africa?
No, as a Canadian passport holder you don't need any visa in order to enter any Schengen country whatsoever, regardless of your point of embarkation being in Canada, or elsewhere. Nationals of “Annex II” countries and territories (Schengen visa waiver countries, like Canada) don't need a Schengen visa, but those from “Annex I” countries like Ethiopia do.
just damn. Book a ticket for OSL-ARN filght on board B772LR, 3 days before departure change aircraft for Dreamliner...
Ethiopian Airlines must retrofit the seats in both business and economy classes in their older 777s, 787s, and some of their A350s. The airplane also needs to be cleaned at Stocholms Arlanda airport after it arrives on an overnight flight from Addis Ababa.
I once had a very weird experience with this flight. I have a non-EU passport and traveled from Oslo to Stockholm on ET. When passing through immigration in Oslo, the police said they wouldn’t stamp my passport since I came to Norway by train. On arrival at Stockholm the border police was very confused that I didn’t have the exit stamp from the Norwegian side and he didn’t know what to do with this scenario 🤣. Finally he called his supervisor and later stamped my passport. Looks like quite a corner case for them.
Where did you come from. Originally?
Ethiopian do a lot of odd flights like Manchester to Geneva for example and they do it in the 787 or a350
It’s true!
@@Flightradar24DotCom Booked myself to go on the a350 from Manchester to Geneva in summer, Looking forward to it!
They fly from Dublin to Chicago and Tokyo to Seoul as well
Flew RT LAX-ADD with stopover in Dublin on Ethiopian in 2018. Nice ride on 787.
Passport freedom between the Nordic countries has existed since 1954 so a long time before the Schengen zone (although they all belong to it as well). The difference is that as a Nordic citizen you don't need more than a drivers licence instead of an official ID.
This probaly applies on crossings to another country with train or car but it does not apply on crossing with aircrafts, airport staff will probaly deny you boarding or deny at passport control if you do not have a national ID card within european union or a passport, driver license is not a valid thing to use for air travel between nordic or EU countries.
@@happyemoji1646 No, this is simply not true. I have flown many times between Nordic countries and they don't check any ID whatsoever. And within Schengen zone there are no passport controls.
@@happyemoji1646 You are incorrect, the rules are the same regardless of mode of transport, as tuttirulla says.
I flew their Boeing 777-200LR from Oslo - Stockholm and i was in the back of the plane. Because of that only the people in the front of the planme gets served juice.
Just curious…why does Ethiopian Airlines have intra country privileges…in most countries, an airline is prohibited from making flights within or between countries except from the airline’s home country and the original destination….sometimes referred to as cabotage
That’s not true, it depends on if they have 5th freedom route privileges. A lot of airlines have this and fly routes and not from their own country.
@@BayAreaTraveler It is true. I have used Royal Jordanian to fly from Kuala Lumpur to Bangkok. Also a Lufthansa flight from Buenos Aires to Frankfurt I was on made a stop in Sao Paulo back in 2006.
@@BayAreaTraveler Good to know… thank you..
Ethiopian airlines is The pride of Africa 🥰much better than SAS or whatever you have Dude
I paid $55 for my Uber ride this morning for 20 min ride you paid $50 to cross another country and they serve you juices please give them a chance on longer flight just not fair
The pricing is crazy compared to an Uber ride it's true!
The most important is you are safely landing to your destination. Thanks God. Don't complain!
If you're not satisfied with the service, then you should go tell them to improve that .
Aircraft cleaning has never been Ethiopian's priority,their planes are clean only after delivery but after a few weeks they suck
Burgundy passport… I thought you were American. (Irish, right?)
ETHIOPIAN management! Why is it that you do not keep the good name for our bread and butter paxs?
It was the last institute in the country to be failed. Sad
God your handsome 😍 but I do love your reviews. ❤
Calm down there, lady. ;)
@@turbofanlover looking at him makes me moist
Do that with SAS and you'll get nothing and like it 😘
This flight gives you about 600 EB points while there economy class on SAS usually only gives 100 or so
That plane looks nasty on the inside. One big mess.
I would never think of flying Ethiopian, as I can never get the image of the jet they spiraled into the ocean many years ago. Also, as former QF Flight Attendant I was always very critical of other airlines when we had to pax somewhere on another airline, and I must agree with you that aircraft was foul by my standards. QF ground staff I'm sure didn't like me when I used to log dirty a/c seats, carpets, or things on the outside like the dirt accumulated around your window on the outside.
These things always make me wonder about other short cuts airlines take with maintenance of their aircraft.
I'm surprised given its Sweden and Norway that the authorities allow such a flight because of such low load factors and all the emissions it produces. I like the idea of France banning domestic flights and pushing customers to their brilliant train service.
ባንዲራችንን ባታሳዩ ጥሩ ነው..... የዐቢይ ይበቃችሁዋል.......ዋዋዋዋዋ አለ ይባላል...
We also not interested in you😂
That plane looked dirty. I'd feel like I needed a tetanus shot and a scrub in the shower after being on one of their planes. Dusgusting.
Hello brother, this is the westerners colonial view to undermining the 🇪🇹n effort to emerging as one of the competent airlines. Hey, don't waste your time and energy since your attempt to degrading is overdue.
Well Ethiopians will correct their mistakes but the motivw of your comment is still the oldest colonial European mentality. Please renew your mind and balance the comment with the price you paid.First of all you came here for its price and with this price you get thw top service.
Try and not fats forward the take & the landing Please
