Ethiopian Airlines Review Business Class Cloud Nine 787 Addis Abeba (ADD) to Los Angeles (LAX) via Dublin (DUB)
Ethiopian Airlines has been greatly expanding their long-haul network with the 787 and A350 deliveries. For this review I got to see the Cloud Nine Business Class lounge at Addis Abeba airport and got two long legs on the 787 to Los Angeles.

I had been to the Star Alliance Gold lounge at Addis Abeba airport a number of times. While be no means a great lounge it ticks all the right boxes and I expected a similar experience at the Cloud Nine lounge.

Boarding was announced for 12.40 AM but when I showed up at the gate there were just a few passengers and no plane!

Once we got to our gate there wasn't much of an announcement and I was fully expecting to get off the plane and go through per-clearance in Dublin. Eventually (I was almost leaving the aircraft) an announcement was made that continuing passengers should stay in their original seat. Oops!
