Third-Party Payments and Card Verification

You can book a flight for someone else using your credit or debit card. However, for security reasons:

●       The cardholder may be contacted by email for verification.

●       In some cases, the cardholder will need to verify the card in person at the airport or at the nearest Ethiopian Airlines ticket office.

If you are in a country without a local ticket office or sales agent, you can still authorize a third-party payment:

  1. Download and complete the Credit Card Authorization Form.

  2. Send the completed form to the first Ethiopian Airlines operating station.
