A Lot of people commend Ethiopian Airlines (ET) for their strict flight schedules and fairly comfy flight and I can attest to those facts.

However the opposite is the case when it comes to safety of passengers luggage. Reports of luggage theft on ET flights are so common these days and I really feel sorry for those who have lost their valuable stuffs.

I will say I was lucky when I had a similar experience. The flight left Heathrow airport, UK en route Nigeria and of course they stopped at Addis for a change of flight. When we arrived Enugu, I did get all my bags though but I noticed a very wide tear on the side of one of my big bags. It was obviously and intentionally cut with a sharp object as the gap was big enough to pick any item, even a 32 " TV. To be honest I was lucky I had my expensive valuables (game consoles, ipads, camera etc) in the hand luggage I had on me, though I had to pay heavily for the excess weight but that was my saving grace.

I'd advice that travellers should take extra caution when using ET and at least endeavour to keep their valuable stuffs close to them. Finally the Government should really look into these problems before they get out of hand. There should be improved customer/consumer rights, especially regarding foreign companies operating in Nigeria.

Lucky you,i always keep my expensive stuff in hand luggage oo,had this experience with Rwandair jburg to lag,luggage was missing by the time i got to lagos,n after two days they located it n i went back to get my luggage,its important put ur most valuable stuffs in ur hand luggage just incase,but re u sure it wasnt in nigeria they stole ur stuff,i dont trust those faan guys at all,thank God ur consle was safe............n thanks for the info.

Always put your important stuff in your carry-on bag.
