After a great week in Awassa, it was time to return to Addis Ababa and we received an unexpected equipment upgrade on Ethiopian Airlines from a Q400 to a 737-800 for the 55-minute flight back to the capital.
Instead, that became clear when we made it past the security checkpoint and saw no aircraft on the ground. Our boarding time came and went, then our departure time came and went. Finally, we saw lights in the distance and a 737-800 landed. That was an unexpected surprise, but not an unpleasant one.
That aircraft was cleared and soon we were invited outside to board.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on Live and Let's Fly.
