Boarding experience was unprofessional and disorganized. Food was okay. Had to call cabin crew 4 times for a glass of water. Cabin crew carried themselves with an attitude. After landing in Jeddah, one of my baggage never came and I have been contacting Ethiopian Airlines for the past 5 days. Either no response or always saying there's no updates. Would not recommend especially if you're trying to avoid getting your baggage lost.
