How to get the best deal on a Lubumbashi — Addis Ababa ticket

  • Given the limited flight frequency (about 3 times a week), we recommend booking your tickets at least 5-7 weeks before departure to ensure seat availability on your preferred dates.
  • Use the low-price calendar on this page, as flying on adjacent dates can often save you a significant amount due to the specific nature of Ethiopian Airlines' schedule.
  • Keep an eye on the price trend chart: this route is subject to seasonal fluctuations, and purchasing a ticket during a period of lower demand can be more economical.
  • When choosing a fare, check the baggage allowance in advance, as excess weight fees at the airport on African routes can substantially increase the total cost of your trip.
