When flying out of Los Angeles, you will use Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) and land to Addis Ababa at Bole International Airport. It's easy to feel lost in the vast Los Angeles Airport, as it has nine passenger terminals. It’s also one of the busiest airports in the US, with over 700 daily nonstop flights. You can always speak to any of their dedicated staff for assistance if you are stuck. Bole International Airport, formerly known as Haile Selassie I International Airport, located in Addis Ababa's Southeast, is the main airport in Ethiopia's capital, Addis Ababa.  The second-largest airport is the Lideta Airport (HAAL), southwest of Addis Ababa. Bole International serves local and international flights across Ethiopia and the neighboring countries, flying to over 125 domestic and international destinations. The airport has two terminals with lounges and other passenger facilities.

There are currently no nonstop flights to Addis Ababa from Los Angeles. You can choose flights with one or multiple layovers depending on your flexibility. Airlines with one-stop flight options include Ethiopian Air, Egypt Air, Qatar Airways, Emirates, Multiple Airlines, Turkish Airlines, and Lufthansa. Ethiopian Air, Air Canada, Turkish Airlines, Qatar Airways, and Multiple Airlines have cheaper airfares, while Lufthansa, Emirates, and United Airlines offer flexible cancellations of flights.

If you choose a flight with one layover, you will need to add a minimum of 2h on your trip. Some layovers take longer than others, depending on the location.
