Travel:

International airports are Bole in Addis and in Dire Dawa, but you can go to Bar Dar and Mekele by airplane, the Ethiopian Airways are quite reliable, and safe for what I know they the Ethiopian Pilots even train other African Pilots.

But it is quite expensive, for example a ticket between Addis an Dire Dawa return is about 70 euros, 700 birr.

Cheap is the long distance buses between Addis and the rest of the country, example Addis-Harar, is about 6 euros, 60 birr, sometimes they have problem on the road and then you have to sleep in a road side hotel, which is not so comfortable, although they are very cheap, a night costs max.: 2 euros, 20 birr.
The problem is that this buses are quite uncomfortable, specially if your legs are long, and the Ethiopians like to travel with all the windows closed!
