Addis Ababa Bole International Airport uses the code ADD. For a connection, confirm whether the onward flight is international or domestic, where your checked bag is tagged, and whether accommodation requires entry into Ethiopia. The routes below are guides in this site’s catalogue, not a list of guaranteed nonstop services.
Terminals and the first connection decision
Ethiopian’s official Bole guide assigns international flights to Terminal 2 and domestic flights to Terminal 1. Confirm the actual flight and gate with the airline; a terminal name does not establish the time needed for every connection.
| Your journey through ADD | Confirm before departure | Action on arrival |
|---|---|---|
| International to international | Onward boarding pass, baggage tag and permitted transit arrangement | Follow transfer directions and check the onward gate |
| International to domestic | Entry documents, bag collection and domestic departure instructions | Follow the airline’s arrival and transfer procedure |
| Separate tickets | Check-in deadline and whether baggage can be transferred | Obtain explicit instructions before leaving the transfer area |
| Overnight connection | Hotel eligibility, property and access to essentials | Resolve the voucher and location with transfer staff |
Do not use a single minimum connection time for all four cases. Ethiopian’s connection guidance distinguishes domestic/international and airline/partner connections. Ask the ticket seller to validate the flight pair and explain what happens after an inbound delay. Buying two flights separately requires its own assessment of re-checking and onward-ticket conditions.
Baggage: read the tag before leaving origin
Ask staff where your suitcase will be delivered and whether any collection is required at ADD. The airline’s guidance describes automatic transfer to the final destination on qualifying all-Ethiopian connections. That does not mean every separate-ticket itinerary has the same arrangement.
Photograph or retain the baggage receipt, and keep the onward boarding pass available. Pack what you need during transit in permitted cabin baggage. Confirm piece count, per-piece weight and size on the actual fare; this airport guide does not assign a universal allowance to an airline logo.
If a suitcase is missing where staff told you to collect it, report it to the airline’s baggage service and keep the report reference. For a separate onward flight, tell that airline promptly about any delay in reaching check-in. Do not assume a baggage report changes the next flight’s deadline.
Overnight stays and the hotel voucher
Ethiopian’s stopover conditions describe an eligible 8–24-hour connection on one ticket with Ethiopian operating both flights. Confirm the benefit and the assigned hotel. A voucher is not a blanket permission to enter Ethiopia, and a hotel outside the airport involves different movements from an in-terminal room.
Use the Addis overnight hotel and baggage checklist to record the property, voucher collection, suitcase destination and return-to-gate plan. The itinerary’s local arrival and departure dates matter when the stop crosses midnight.
