Waw i fly with you from south Africa to vienna that was awsome. But i don't understand the way you write the time. If the departure from south Africa was 3:19 is that AM or PM? I am Sure you depart from South Africa 3:19 PM so then you arrived in Addis 8:17 PM in the evening. So what I am not understand hear is again you depart from Addis to Vienna at 11:59 PM so what does it mean you arrived in Vienna at 14:41 ? Did you mean 2:41AM ? which country local time is 14:41? And are you from Austria?

Well it is the best airline in Africa. I’ll be flying soon
Africa is such a beautiful continent!
I flew with Ethiopian airlines from Toronto to Addis Ababa in 2013 and loved it. I was so proud of an African airline representing my motherland. I'd do it again.
Wow. Ethiopian Airlines B787. Amazing and loved it!!!!!!
Did you guys noticed at 11:44 that Ethiopian airline is making new route to Jakarta? #IndoSquad

I’ve taken them many times. There’s a reason my they have been profitable for almost every year if their existence. Wonderful airline and on par, if not above, many European airlines. In terms of service.
What a cheerful way of reviewing the airlines and aircraft mr. david..i think it was a short video, but thanks for sharing ! cheers !
I'm so sorry for not being able to push the like button of all your videos , but I'm trying my best to support you . You are amazing , your Flight reports are amazing , and you are a pro camera man haha , when I compare your vids to others , yours are way better ...please keep up and never stop! Ps : I'm saying this before I even start watching this one :D . Also , Can you do more spotting in the next reports ? If you have the possibility to do so of course . Great job by the way
Great idea with the self-service bar. A nice touch by the airline. Excellent video!
Love your flight reviews and thanks never stop this channel
Amazing video. I always enjoy watching your videos after a long day.
SIMPLY AMAZING!!! Good Job!!!
Another great video mate! You're the best. That a boy. You're up late, it's like 9:20 PM ish over there while its 7:20 am here in Toronto 😎. Always good to watch a video from you while I eat my fruitloops. I have to agree with the previous commenter. The new retrofitted airliners and the new aircraft are wonderful addition to the fleet.
Woah amazing trip report! Loved it!
The best Flight report channel
Nice report! Liked!
awesome video !!!!!!!! I loved it . keep it up!!!
Another lovely 787 trip report! 👍🏾
Always seeing these impressive wind power plants on approach into Vienna. Other countries should follow this way ✌

Thanks for visiting my home town...it looks like you stayed near to me (CT Stadium). I'm flying Ethiopian out of CT next week. Very helpful trip report.
Amazing!
What an interesting report! It’s nice to see how it is to fly with this airline that seems to have a similar business style than Emirates or WOW Air; connect places via their HUB. Loved the video!
Beautiful video !!! 🔝👍👍
I love this chanel
How many flights did you go in august 2017?
Nice gesture that they served food
Again good video,and please can you tell me how many hours you travel from Cape Town to Vienna.

Hi David and Felix I am flying Turkish could you please tell me how the flight was if you have flown with them before. Thanks Love the reports
I always look at the IFE & I rarely see anything I would watch. For me a good meal, a few beers, a good book & a way I ago.
Best African Airline!! Great tripreport
I would love to fly in the new 787. absolute beauty!!!!!
CRAZY how i was there at there airport watching the plane board and deboard from international arrivals
The tripreport is very good
Nice tripreport
Can you fly with Alitalia on an long haul route? Thank you
Back in the 1950s and 1960s, TWA advised Ethiopian Airlines. The chicken and rice on the Cape Town-Addis Ababa flight looked tempting, as well as the spaghetti and meat sauce on the flight to Vienna. The takeoff rolls looked short on both flights.
i enjoyed it best wishes from Pakistan

Aemal khalil Bet you’re an Indian. I’m neither, but it’s funny how people from two nations keep trying to insult each other.
I enjoyed watching your report of both flights. Ethiopian Airlines' service seems to be pretty good. I didn't expect that Addid Abeba Airport would be so busy. They must have a lot of passengers from China? As everything is translated in Chinese as well. Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing!

flew this exact route on a 777 two years ago. my experience on ethiopian was right up there with emirates
Amazing vlog
Lovely airline😍
No 3rd seat or middle seat this time... Great video!
Is this the only airline that has ever switched from GE to RR on the 787s? Air New Zealand and ANA have switched from RR to GE for obvious reasons and now ET is switching back to GE for the same reason, but is there any other airline that has ever switched from GE to RR like ET did in 2015?
When are you travelling India
I flew on one of the very first Dreamliners on Ethiopian about 6 years ago 😄
Ahh my home city cpt!!
nice vid~
There is no way! I came home from school and was like "i might watch some simply aviation. I hope it is ethiopian!" And I got the notification and OMG it was lolilol!
Great video. Are they strict with 23kg checked baggage. What about the carry on baggage weight How is the food in that Addis airport. Is it expensive
Can you do more Southafrica Videos/Tripreports?
I truly don't understand why so many people are surprised by Ethiopian Airlines. Modern fleet, the most beautiful attendants. Excellent service. Is it because we're an African country? I thank God for making me an African. Samson Woldemariam
Best video yet :-D
12:00 Simply aviation - This safety video came out in 2000 and was updated slightly in 2013 when the 787 came to the fleet.
Can you make hk airlines tripreport Thx~
Make a tripreport for tiger air, silk air
I would like to watch a video showing flight from Sao Paulo to Mumbai with stopover in Addis Ababa. It's possible?
