The A350 we were on has the older Collins Super Diamond Seats rather than the preferrable Safran Optima seats. The middle two seats are preferred (each has aisle access) but we had no option. In fairness, its not a bad seat. 78" pitch. Slightly mean 20" width. Good screen but poor selection of up-to-date films. Food was ok. Note that the window seat foot well is slightly smaller than the aisle seat. As a couple I'd choose the middle seats in future. Service is friendly but not polished at all.

Our flight (but note not all) had the new Safran Optima seat. We liked it a lot. 79" pitch is great for me (6 foot) and masses for my wife. 20" width needs an inch or two more ideally, but I wasn't complaining. Being in row 1 meant noise from the galley - and there was plenty of noise - chatting, banging doors incessantly, slightly irritating. Food is "so-so". IFE lacks lots of up to date films. But price point on Ethiopian Airlines is great.

ET currently fly 18 A350s. The oldest 14 are in a 2-2-2 configuration. Two of the newest (-AYB and -AYM) are in a new 1-2-1 configuration using the Zodiac Optima seat. (Think United Polaris.) It is my belief that -AYA and -AYN have the same configuration and a flight attendant told me that the newer 787-9s have it too. It's much better than the 2-2-2 on older planes.

The leg room is not too bad but the seat is not large, the width is not enough good. And chair is very hard, seems like a piece of wood covered by linen.

FromMia
ToAddis Ababa - Bole International (ADD)
Terrible airline. Waited over 45 minutes to speak with agent. Employees take their sweet time to help customers, it’s worst than being in Jamaica and I thought they were bad. Will avoid flying on this airline at all cost. Paid $ 1800.00 for ticket

Not the best seat. The footrest for extremely small compares to the other business seats. I think all the middle section had the same.

ToJohannesburg - Oliver Reginald Tambo International (JNB)
An awesome seat this, access to two windows, you can view the wing, can see flaps deploy. You are likely to receive food quicker as the location is closer. You are two rows away from the emergency exit. For any trip I will undertake with the B777-300ER, seat 41L will be my pick.

ToSao Paulo - Aeroporto Internacional Guarulhos (GRU)
Mucho más cómodo de lo esperado y muchísimo más que el promedio de otras aerolíneas de renombre.
El viaje, muy largo, se hizo mucho más llevadero.

Seat36L
FromAddis Ababa - Bole International (ADD)
ToJohannesburg - Oliver Reginald Tambo International (JNB)
Online booking started 36hrs b4 my flight. I tried to check 26 hrs b4 my flight but I was not able to get the seat I wanted, row 30. So, I settled for 36L. However, I was generally satisfied with this seat as well. It spacious and enough. Stretching my leg to the full is however impossible, that why I needed row 30.
