Save your flights and LYVR finds the connection at ADD on its own, then times every part of it.
Deplaning, every walk on the indoor map, the checkpoints your connection passes and when the doors close. What's left is yours to plan.

Add your cards and memberships once. Every lounge at ADD shows whether you're in.

Around walls, up escalators, onto the train between terminals and through security on the way.

Getting out, the ride each way, security on the way back and a cushion, checked against your passport. Then a day, planned.

LYVR doesn't have a security wait feed for ADD yet. It still times your walk between gates and through the terminal, so you can see how much of the layover is really free.
LYVR lists 4 lounges at ADD, 1 of them on Priority Pass. Which ones you can get into depends on your ticket, airline status, credit card or a lounge membership. Each lounge on this page lists what gets you in, and LYVR checks it against your own profile.
Yes, at 1 lounge: Star Alliance Gold Lounge (Star Alliance Gold). Status entry needs a same-day departing flight on that airline or its alliance, and some tiers only count on international flights.
It depends on your terminals, whether you re-clear security or customs, and how far the gates are apart. LYVR adds up deplaning, every walk on the indoor map, any checkpoints your connection passes and the boarding door time, then shows exactly how much time you have to spare.
For a connection on one ticket, airlines won't sell you less than ADD's minimum connection time, and they rebook you if a delay makes you miss it. An international transfer with security screening is still more comfortable with 1.5 to 2 hours, and separate tickets need 3 or more. LYVR works out your exact time to spare for your own two gates.
With an hour or two, eat near your gate and walk the terminal. With more, ADD's 4 lounges (1 on Priority Pass) have quiet seats, food and often showers. LYVR's Explore tab lists every restaurant, bar and shop near your gate with the walk time, so you only see what fits in your layover.
On a domestic connection, yes, with enough time. On an international one, only if you're allowed to enter Ethiopia, since leaving ADD means going through immigration, and you'd want about 6 hours: the passport line both ways, the trip into Addis Ababa and back, and security on the way in. LYVR checks the ride each way, the time you'd have in the city and your passport's entry rule.
Free, in your browser. LYVR finds the layover, times every walk and fills the gap.
Plan my layover →Lounges from Priority Pass's and DragonPass's directories, the card networks' lounge lists (American Express, Capital One, Chase, Mastercard), each operator's own booking or waitlist page, and the Wikivoyage article on Bole International Airport (CC BY-SA). Who gets in is worked out with the same rules the LYVR app uses for your saved cards, memberships and airline status. Wait times come from no live source yet. Terminal times are LYVR's curated estimates. Compiled October 2026; details change, so confirm with the airport, airline or lounge before you travel.
