Ethiopian Airlines Offering Free Tickets to Africa
Traditionally speaking, flights to Africa can be amongst the most expensive you'll find, and there are seldom deals to be found when flying there. But right now, Ethiopian Airlines is running a "buy 1, get 1 free" promotion that makes it more affordable than ever to make the trip.The promotion is good from February 1st through March 31st of this year, with flights to 32 cities available. Simply book a ticket before the 30th of March, and you receive one companion fare for free. The only restriction, other than the dates of the promotion, is that your stay can not be longer than 21 days, and you must travel by the end of March.
The airline offers service to most of the major airports in Africa, including flights to Kenya, Tanzania, and South Africa. Combining this promotion with some of the other travel deals that are currently available could make for a low cost safari or other vacation to any number of amazing places. Grab your tickets while you can!

"Americans are losers".....Yeah, that's why everyone in the friggin world wants to come and live in America, right??? What a dumb ass statement made here.

You're right Gary, everybody in the frigging world is trying to get here...and I shouldn't say Americans are losers...just the dummies that make stupid statements like those posted here about another continent...no matter where they come from!

I am American, but couldn't agree with you more. We tend to act to high and mighty. Like we are the chosen ones!

Wow awesome now I can finally spend a thousand dollars to go to crapville where there's nothing but empoverished people begging for money and food dying in the streets while I sip my pina'colada made with fresh ethopian goats milk...

Well Said! I have lived and worked in Africa for the past 13 years and you described how it is for us to be over there perfectly.

It does sound like a wonderful deal. I wonder if it includes Madagascar? It is such a beautiful island nation and often times so expensive to get there, especially from the United States. Happy travels all!

Now we can afford to send Obama the communist loser of a president and his jackass old lady back to Kenya where they belong.
Desiree Feb 5th 2009 5:28PM

People this is a great deal for anyone thinking about visiting Africa. As a frequent visitor to South Africa I have flown the airline many times. It was interesting that I came across this feed along with one from another blog site in which they had inside info from Trip Advisor on the their Best of 2009. If you have not had a chance to check it out you should! They have a bargain section that is broken down by country that is very useful along with other categories.

Make sure to note that this offer is only good for travel dates through March 31st! Not, just booking, but travel. You also need to call or email b/c it is for a specific class of tickets. I'm really excited and am trying to get them to extend it for our orphan care trip to Uganda in May! Thanks for the heads up!

Good point Brandi. I'll amend the post to reflect that you must travel by March 31st. Good luck getting the extension, I hope they'll do that for you. It really is a great deal.
