When are flights to Addis Ababa cheapest?
The main rains, called Kiremt, fall from about June to September. Fares rise around Ethiopian New Year in September, Ethiopian Christmas in early January, and the US summer and winter breaks. Fares change daily, so there is no single best date. A specialist checks the days either side of yours.
Can I get a one-way or round-trip flight to Addis Ababa?
Yes. We quote round-trip, one-way and multi-city trips to Addis Ababa. A round trip is often the simplest on international routes, but it is worth asking us to price both, especially if your return date is open.

On eligible bookings you can choose to pay in monthly installments at checkout. The provider decides eligibility and shows the exact terms before you agree, and a credit check may apply.
Do you compare prices and show flight deals for Addis Ababa?
A TravelSource specialist compares fares for your exact route and dates rather than showing one “from” price, because fares to Addis Ababa change with the season and the day of the week. We can also add a stay, a car or an airport transfer to the same quote.
