What does an Ethiopian Airlines seating plan show?

Drawn cabins on this hub run about 270 to 318 seats. This hub lists all 3 drawn plans.

What is this Ethiopian Airlines page for?
This page groups the original Ethiopian Airlines cabin schematics on Pick Your Row. Ethiopian Airlines uses IATA code ET and is based in Ethiopia. You will find 3 illustrative configs, each linked to a seat map and a best seats page. Use it when you already know the carrier and want the aircraft we have drawn for it. If you know the type first, start from the aircraft index. Maps here are illustrative planning sketches. Confirm the aircraft and the live seat map with Ethiopian Airlines before you pay for a row.
Are these official Ethiopian Airlines seat maps?
No. Every drawing on this page is an original illustrative schematic. Pick Your Row is not affiliated with Ethiopian Airlines, and these are not the official Ethiopian Airlines seat maps.

How should I pick a seat on Ethiopian Airlines?
Match a card above to the aircraft on your ticket, then read that seat map before you pay for a row. Extra space often sits at an exit or a bulkhead, and Ethiopian Airlines sets the rules and the fee. A window or an aisle is a preference. Highlights on Pick Your Row are opinions for planning, not a seat the airline is holding for you. Browse every shortlist on the best seats page for Ethiopian Airlines. One worked example is the Ethiopian Airlines Boeing 787-8 best seats page. Scoring rules are in the methodology. The guide on how Pick Your Row scores work explains the heuristic.
Do cabin layouts vary within the Ethiopian Airlines fleet?
The economy block pattern matches on every card here, so that pattern does not vary in this set. Every card uses blocks of 3, 3, and 3. The cabins are still separate interiors. 3 configs are drawn, and seat counts run about 270 to 318 seats. Galleys, lavatories, and exit rows can differ by aircraft type and by registration. Aircraft on this page: Boeing 787-8, Boeing 787-9, and Airbus A350-900.

The Boeing 787-8 marks exit rows 20 and 32. The Boeing 787-9 marks exit rows 21 and 33. The Airbus A350-900 marks exit rows 21 and 34. These row numbers are illustrative and can differ by registration. Confirm them with Ethiopian Airlines before you pay for an exit seat. The methodology page explains how these sketches are drawn. Exit row tips cover who should skip an exit and why a marked row is not a promise. A sample sketch is the Ethiopian Airlines Boeing 787-8 seat map.
How do I confirm my flight's aircraft before relying on a map?
Your ticket or the Ethiopian Airlines app usually prints the aircraft type, and the assignment can still change before departure. Match that name to a card on this page, then open that seat map. Use the guide on how to verify your aircraft type. If Ethiopian Airlines names an aircraft that is not drawn here, use the live airline map instead of a nearby type.
