Dreadful and expensive
November 15, 2017

Booked a flight to New Zealand 6 months ago.
Edreams cancelled the tickets without informing anyone and I found out a week before my trip
The customer service department could not produce anyone who spoke acceptable English so they just sold me back the same seat for an extra £300

Avoid this shady company
November 13, 2017

Dont trust this shady company. Had a very unfortunate experience with edreams and we are still sending emails to and for without any luck. Had booked a flight. However the booking reference given by them was not being accepted at all on the airlines website. Had pretty long calls with the customer support guys who i believe had no clue whatsoever about the airlines or locations. Never where able to understand our predicament. Once we where in the city of departure, we came to know from the airlines that the booking never existed and unfortunately we had to rely on email communication with edreams with no proper response. Finally we had to book a new ticket and fly out. Now they are demanding proof that we show them the new ticket we purchased to proceed further. This company is a joke.

Please do not do any bookings form here. They have less price here as compared with other sites but still don't go with this. Just in case if you are cancelling your booking or the Airline/Hotel have cancelled it from their side, it will take ages to get the refund back. Its been 5 months and I have not received my refund till now! Every time I call the customer service, I get the same answer that it will take another month. Their website and the recording in their contact center number says it takes maximum of 3 months. However its almost 5 months in my case and yet they are asking for 1 more month.

Rip off!
September 5, 2017

This company is a rip off! They sent us a text message saying that our flight between Barcelona and Lisbon was delayed. It really wasn't. When we got to the airport we missed our original flight because of their text. They are now saying is the airlines fault because they provided the wrong information. The airlines is saying is this company's fault. We are now out to 2200 because of this company and they will not pay it. I would never use them again. Please tell all you know

Payments: when shopping for the flight the cost of flight indicated isn't what they charge you!

Contacts: After days of tedious efforts to reach the company through their number. You will be redirected to international lines that are costly, long online waits etc. Only to be told they can't help you!

Reservations: You can't modify your flight as much as they have indicated as one of the principle services they offer.

I paid my my flight inclusive return ticket, i couldn't travel the presumed day coz of unavoidable circumstances so i requested to use my return ticket since but eDreams declined.

So disappointed!

Unfair service, I would not recommend anyone.
I bought tickets week ago WAW-BCN-WAW for 4 people, price was 540 EUR and 50 EUR discount for payment of visa debit card on Edreams.es.
E dreams took from my card 2 X 320 EUR (!) and I received messages saying that I should increase the limits on the card to pay more money. After a few days edreams was written that there was a server crash, I was only refunded 275 EUR, the bank took 45 EUR as exchange costs. The reservation was canceled, the rest of the money was not refunded and even no,, sorry'' from Edreams. Only yesterday after telephone intervention, they kindly said that they would refund the rest of the money minus the exchange costs. With the fault of edreams I lost 90 EUR, server crash was not my fault.
There is no option to write a message on Edreams, only expensive international phone calls. Instead of explaining and refunding money, they send me unwanted advertisements.
I will seek legal opportunities, recover my money unlawfully seized.
Never again will I use dishonest Edreams.

I booked a ticket ref: *******899 with edreams for me and my kids. Edreams is as useless as they come. The airline cancelled the flight and informed edreams well in advance but edreams never told me.
I live in Norwich and the flight was in London so this means taking a taxi and getting to London to find out the painful truth... no flight.
Stranded and yet e dreams told me to call back in 2 hours as their system is down, several calls and not a single straightforward answer, the airline had to rebook my flights for 3 days after without additional cost but i was still stranded and lost alot of money for taxi.
Run far from edreams. This is my 1st and last time with them.
A proper nightmare!

How can I explain you that this was probably the worst ever experience with a company I had.?
In the beginning, the process was as simple as with any online travel agency. While the platform crashed couple of times during the booking process it was still bearable taking into consideration the price given. I was buying two separate tickets(this is worth noticing). Congratulations! Your reservation was placed please wait for 24 hours for us to confirm your booking. Not even 20 minutes passed as I had started to receive a bunch of emails. Now, here comes the fun part.
I have received an outbound flight ticket on my name and an inbound flight ticket on the name of another passenger. Then I have received an email about my booking being amended due to the card decline. Confusing.
So I've decided to call to a customer support. Just to mention it straight away, all the people that I have spoken to in eDreams customer support were very helpful and understanding. Unfortunately, even after spending hours on the phone we couldn't resolve the issue.
When I contacted a customer support, I was specified the reason of my bookings amendment and was recommended to follow a standard procedure of calling my bank and coming back to them. That was what I did( however, my bank was absolutely sure they didn't block any transactions, but oh well.) After a second call to an adviser in customer support I was asked to wait for 24 hours for them to confirm my booking.
During the next day - another email "Your card is declined". Luckily, I could visit my bank's branch and guess what, the same story again. A bank states there were no declines. And I call the support in the 3 time.
On the call I was told, that one ticket was declined but another one is still in the process so I have to wait 24 more hours ( Initial 24 hours have passed) Fine, just give me my tickets!
As you could have guessed, a day passed and I received another email - your booking was declined.
To make this already a long story short, I have tried to pay with 3 different cards that belong to 3 different banks with each of them having more than sufficient balance to cover the costs of the tickets - none of them were accepted.
Once I was requested a refund another funny thing turned out: I was charged a non-refundable admin fee by the company of 75 pounds! Not only I din't receive not even one full ticket but was also charged almost the half price of both tickets.
By this point, I was about to get crazy. With a request of getting the invoices for declined and accepted transactions I was told that only can get an invoice of approved transactions.
The End: Wait for 24 hours

P.S. I have obviously contacted my bank again after the last attempts of an adviser to proceed with the payment, and nothing. No transactions declined.

P. P.S. There is still another payment that went to eDreams from my account that they claim they didn't take.

P. P. P.S. Never Again

A few months ago I decided to buy a trip for my sister within her honeymoon. They went to Vietnam and I gave them a week in Cambodia to visit Angkor. I bought the flights at an exorbitant price (almost 600) through edreams and booked visas, tickets, hotels, massages and dinners to make a special experience of those days.

Once in Vietnam, just a few days before their trip, they received a notification that their return flight had been delayed so much that they will not be able to connect with the flight back to Madrid. When they try to clarify it (spending time and money on absurd calls), they discover that the flight has been canceled, so after a lot of frustration trying to fix it, they get edreams to send them a confirmation that they will get their money back.

Almost four months after, we haven't received the money and the company continue to evade every phone call. Some weeks ago they confirmed that the airline had already returned the money to them, but nothing comes to us. It sounds like they inflated the price of the flight by manipulating the exchange rate and the commissions, so giving it back to us will be a loss.

Now we only have left the legal route, but if you can avoid it do not buy your trip with edreams.

Bad Fare Conditions
June 16, 2017

I reserved a flight ticket via the e-dreams website from Beirut to Munich with a stop in Bucharest. I wanted to change the final destination to Bucharest instead of the stop in Bucharest. I didn't want to change the dates, i just want to have Bucharest as the final destination. So, actually this not gonna be a change.
I contact the airlines Tarom, they told me that they have no problem with that, it is the same flight to Bucharest, I won't continue to Munich for personnal reasons... eDreams need me to pay 100$ to make this change which is not a real change in the flight.
They want me to pay as I make a modification to my flight which it is not my case.:/
Very bad Fare Conditions
