Well OK folks! It’s official – Qatar Airways has canceled my flight itinerary to Namibia in nine days. But very very fortunately, Lori at Travel Express who is amazing was able to get me rebooked flying Ethiopian Airlines Scott of Washington DC- Dulles International airport. I will be leaving a day early and getting back on late afternoon Halloween into my home airport. The flight out of Washington DC is usually at 11 AM in the morning and getting in to Addis Ababa at 7:15 in the morning the following day into terminal 2. The connecting flight leaves at 8:35 in the morning from terminal 2 as well. So not much time for a layover. Has anyone had experience with this –is there a security or some type of customs clearance that you have to go through or do you just go to the next gate and not have to go through security?
I was also fortunate that I kind of planned for this happening. A few others here on this site as well as friends had the same problem with Qatar Airways canceling their flights. Lori basically says for any of us trying to get over to Africa this year will have to go on Ethiopian airways. So please-if you have already booked through Qatar – you need to rebook immediately. This stinks because I liked Qatar Airways-really nice airline and comfortable travel experience but it is what it is.
