What happens when you set this watch
We track every fare from your airport into Lalibela or Addis Ababa for April 3 to May 9, 2027, round trips of 3 to 7 nights, across every airline. The moment one drops, you get one email with the dates, the price and a link to book. Free, and you can stop any time.
Know before you go
- Dress modestly and remove shoes at every church; a shawl helps at the night vigil.
- Book Lalibela flights and rooms weeks ahead; Easter is the busiest week of the year here.
- Ethiopian Airlines flies Addis to Lalibela in about an hour; the airport is a 30 minute drive from the churches.
