How to Fly From Ljubljana to Comoros via Zurich and Addis Ababa

There are no direct flights between Slovenia and the Comoros, but a traveller who flew the route in late October 2026 documented a workable itinerary linking Ljubljana with Moroni, the Comorian capital. The journey was booked as a multi-segment business class award ticket for 75,000 Miles & More miles plus a €155 surcharge.

Key facts

• Outbound: Ljubljana – Zurich (Swiss, operated by airBaltic), then Zurich – Milan – Addis Ababa – Moroni (Ethiopian Airlines).
• Return: Moroni – Addis Ababa – Brussels (Ethiopian Airlines), with the final leg to Ljubljana operated by Brussels Airlines.
• Flights were taken on 22 and 23 October 2026.
• Award cost: 75,000 miles plus €155 in surcharges for business class.
• Aircraft used: Airbus A220-300, Boeing 787-9 and Boeing 737-8 MAX.

What is the routing?

The outbound trip began with a Swiss service from Ljubljana to Zurich, operated by airBaltic, followed by an Ethiopian Airlines Boeing 787-9 from Zurich to Addis Ababa by way of Milan. From the Ethiopian capital, a Boeing 737-8 MAX continued to Moroni.

The return followed a different path: Ethiopian Airlines carried the traveller from Moroni to Addis Ababa and on to Brussels, where a Brussels Airlines flight completed the journey to Ljubljana.

Which flights were taken?

• Ljubljana – Zurich: flight LX2275 on 22 October 2026, Airbus A220-300, departing 14:50 and arriving 16:05, with a scheduled block time of 1h 15min. The aircraft pushed back at 14:53, became airborne at 15:04 and landed at 15:57 after 53 minutes.

What are the airports and lounges like?

At Ljubljana Airport, the business lounge above the check-in area was described as very small and packed at around 1 pm, with seating on an outdoor terrace. It offered cold dishes, soups, desserts, Slovenian wine and beer. The report notes that new airlines are expected at the airport next year, including United Airlines.

At Zurich Airport, the Swiss Business & Senator Lounge in the non-Schengen area near the E gates was described as spacious, with work and rest areas, hot and cold dishes, snacks, drinks and an open terrace overlooking parked aircraft. Immigration at Zurich was cleared quickly using e-gates.

What is Ethiopian Airlines business class like?

Ethiopian Airlines brands its business class as "Cloud Nine". On the 787-9 used for the Zurich – Addis Ababa sector, the cabin had 30 seats in a 2-2-2 layout with Collins Aerospace Diamond Parallel seats. Passengers received a pillow, blanket, noise-cancelling headphones, water, slippers and an amenity kit, followed by a dinner service and a fully flat bed.

Cloud Nine passengers were given complimentary Wi-Fi vouchers, avoiding the standard US$25 full-flight connectivity fee. The airline's wide-body fleet is built around Airbus A350 and Boeing 787-8 aircraft, while regional African routes and some European destinations such as Istanbul and Athens use Boeing 737-8 MAX jets.

What this means for travellers

Travellers heading to the Comoros from Slovenia should plan for at least two connections in each direction, with the Milan stop handled as a through-flight where passengers remain onboard. The report covers flights, aircraft and lounge facilities only; it gives no information on visas, passports or entry requirements for the Comoros.

No further route changes were announced in the report. Ljubljana Airport is expected to add new airlines next year, including United Airlines.
