Ethiopian Airlines staff travel & standby

Unless you travel as a positive passenger, you are listed on a standby basis.

1. Contact the local Ethiopian office at your boarding point in advance to get listed. Call centre contacts worldwide: ethiopianairlines.com
2. List at least 48 hours before the scheduled departure.
3. Give your name as on the ticket, the ticket classification or pass type, and your seniority date.
4. Some countries require advance passenger information, so include your passport number, issuing country and date, expiry date, nationality and date of birth.

Securing your staff ID, passport, visas, health and other documents for every part of the trip is your job. Ethiopian takes no responsibility for missing or invalid documents, and any fine it gets because of them is passed on to you.

• Cabin bags: same as a paying passenger (2 pieces of up to 8 kg each in C-9, or 1 piece up to 7 kg in Economy, each no bigger than 23 × 40 × 55 cm).
• Excess baggage has no staff discount; the regular passenger rules apply.
• On standby, your bags are tagged only to your first destination.

Follow the standard check-in procedure and show your company ID. On standby, check in at least 60 minutes before departure.

Through check-in isn't available on standby: you are checked in only to your first destination.

Advance seat reservation isn't available. At check-in, a seat preference may be possible depending on availability.

Behave well and look neat at all times. In C-9, the dress code is:

• Men 16 and over: jacket, trousers with a shirt and tie, and dress shoes.
• Women 16 and over: dress, suit, trouser suit, or a coordinated blouse/shirt or sweater/shirt combination, with dress shoes.
• Children under 16: neat clothing suitable for travel.

Airport supervisors may refuse travel to anyone whose clothing or behaviour might offend other passengers.
