Reviews and Complaints

Good afternoon,

I booked a flight and hotel yesterday.
My booking number is : [protected]
I choose the return flight for later time. (around 19:20)
That ticket was more expensive.
When i paid and got back the confirmation mail the flight was in the early morning.
I called the call center next day. but they said that in this situation they can't do anything.
I understand that.
My only problem is now i loose almost a day because off the flight.
And i paid around 60 E more for the tickets.
Please try to check that the flight are stay the same as.

Kind regards

After booking a flight on February 26, 2019, I canceled it within 24 hours (I purchased the travel Insurance for this which entitles me to a full refund in this case). After over 6 phone calls and repeated lying, I still have not received my refund. It has been over 2 months. Each rep says the same thing: we are processing it, we are so sorry, and they even have sent emails at times that the refund is coming. It definitely has not. They continuously give the run around and blatantly lie. I am currently building a case against them to file a lawsuit.

I bought a package through Edreams including flight + hotel. In the confirmation email it was very clear what should be paid (all shown in local currency). At first, I paid the flight ticket the price I was told to. But when the time came to pay for the hotel, I was being charged an additional amount (+$6.000). I called edreams and they told me to pay and they would give me a refund. This happened a month ago and I still didn't have any answer. I've called three times already. I am going to make a HUGE complaint in a local newspaper if they still ignore my case. Thank you

Edreams has involuntary cancelled my reservation 2 days prior my flight.
In an email sent me tonight, it hasn't informed me that i'd get a refund (900 euros) in 90 working days. Which means that I will only get a refund in 5 months. That's just absurd.
On top of that, because I must keep my trip schedule, I had to book a much more expensive

I had a booking with edreams in February, flying from Sapporo to HongKong. I was asking for an invoice after the flight completed but I received an incorrect invoice. The code of the destination on the received invoice (HND) doesn't match with my actual destination (HKG). I then called the customer service multiple time asking them to correct the mistake of the invoice but I either didn't receive anything or kept receiving the same wrong receipt. I have been asking for an invoice over a month. I need the invoice urgently to claim my payment back. I really don't know what else I can do to get my correct invoice now. Please reply to me as soon as possible. If I am unable to claim my payment back just because the correct invoice comes too late, I will try all I can to let edreams refund for my payment.

Description of the Incident :
Beware of eDreams Flight ticket booking company : Never book your flight tickets with eDreams ; I got cheated of my flight tickets when i requested them to either cancel or change my flight tickets .
45 minutes to get to the customer support team & they put you on hold for 10 - 15 minutes & requested me call the flight carrier . I spoke to flight carrier & they didn't had any authorization to change or cancel my tickets & got routed back to eDreams. Called back eDreams helpdesk & they asked me to wait for 2 days & call back as they will have new rates from Airline . Called after 2 days & again having spent an hour to reach their customer support desk, the agent confirmed that my ticket is eligible for change of dates, however i have to pay more than what i have paid for Airfare in order to reschedule it in addition to eDream charges or call the Airline directly . Again rang the Airline & they confirmed eDreams should have helped me to change it & they are playing up in case if they are not helping me change the dates, so i need to again discuss with eDreams. Having already spent nearly 3+ hours & hearing different response from eDream Cust Supp Reps have been misleading. In the past i had to change flight dates during emergencies never had such an experience with the Airline agents like eDreams.
Desirable resolution - Refund

I just completed a flight booking agreeing to pay a final price of 51.68 euros. Upon confirmation I was charged 65 euros. This is fraudulent behaviour. You can not take payment from customers and charge a different amount after. And now I have been on hold waiting to speak to an agent for the second time today. It is ridiculous to have to sit and wait on hold for 30 minutes and then speak to a useless representative who has no idea what you are speaking about and has no desire to reach a resolution. Initially I called to make a change to my booking because the dates booked were incorrect. Sadly, no options were given. Now I have made a new booking trusting I would be charged the amount I agreed to and then see I was charged 15 euros over what I had expected. And in addition to this there is nowhere I can find in my confirmation booking explaining the breakdown of this 15 euro extra charge. I am demanding a refund of these charges as I did not agree to pay them. Reference : [protected]

I made a flight booking through edreams which I had cancelled immediately after.
The airline was spirit.
Although the airline has confirmed that they have fully refunded me the money, edreams is refusing to refund the roundtrip value and have only refunded one way.

I made 3 flights booking from Da Nang to Hanoi, Vietnam, on April 15th, booking reference [protected], the amount to be paid should be around 171Eur, but when I proceed the payment with my visa card the total was around 274Eur.

I have contacted the customer support service immediatly and the explanation given to me it was I should have a special edrems card, to get the special price. I recheck again all process to buy flights and no option is available to card holders, and repeating the process again, I could buy the tickets by 171Eur.

I want a refund of 103 Eur from Edreams, over paid amount.
Me and my family will not buy anymore products from edreams, all buying process is deceptive and unclear.
Please help me,

Fernando

Hi all,
I purchased a roundtrip flight from Athens to Mexico (Dec 23- Jan 20, 2019) from the eDreams website. I bought my ticket as early as August 18th, 2018 so as to get an affordable price- being on a student budget.
On October 25, 2018, eDreams informed me that the airline operating the flight, Alitalia, had cancelled my return flight from Mexico to Rome, and that it was offering a ticket refund, or that eDreams could find me an alternate flight.
I opted for the refund and was told i would receive it within 3 months, and i received a confirmation email from them in this regard on October 26, 2018- confirming "the exact amount of the refund is 795.36 gbp and should appear in your account within 3 months." [ATTACHED] This is minus the 50 GBP they deducted as a service fee.
I accepted the loss and bought another roundtrip ticket from Athens to Mexico, which cost me 1, 400 EUR (so 30% more than my original ticket), assuming i would receive the refund within the 3 month period, and would be able to manage.
It's been almost 6 months since i was promised this refund. I have called eDreams customer support over 10 times within the past 2 months, and they keep telling me that Alitalia has not processed the refund yet. And when i call Alitalia, they tell me that as per their regulations, they immediately refund third-parties in case of a cancellation.
I don't know what else to do... every time i call eDreams customer support i just get different excuses as to why my refund has not yet been processed, or they tell me to fill out a complaint form- which i have done twice already.
I refuse to let eDreams get away with taking my hard earned money- 900 EUR that took me 6 months to earn at my university job! Absolutely unacceptable
Has anyone else had this problem with eDreams?! If so, how was it resolved?

I booked flight on 04/04/2019 to beirut from bahrain and return from beirut to bahrain. Booking reference is [protected]. When time of payment, amount was only 1089.68 euro but they charged an amount 1745.78 euro. I confirmed to pay when clicking the final confirmation button upon final check out and for my safty I took a screen shot. As a valued customer I hope solve my issue as soon as possible.

Thank and regards

In reference to confirmation [protected], we clicked confirmation of a total price of $767.14, but were subsequently charged a total price of $852.99 on April 7th, 2019. After speaking to a customer service agent, they did not understand why we were charged an additional $85.85, as the baggage fees and services charges were already included in the origional price. It was suggested by the edreams agent that we submit a formal complaint in order to receive a reimbursement on this over-charge. In sum, our desirable solution is be charged the $767.14 that we confirmed to pay when clicking the final confirmation button upon final check-out. As a valued customer, we hope that you can remedy this issues as soon as possible. Thank you.

eDreams has charged my account double for a plane ticket I bought. Left my children without any food for a whole week due to their stupidity and lack of professionalism. I have not been the first customer, therefore this may be resulting into a legal lawsuit. I'm pretty sure a lot of people who they have done this to are able and wanting to testify against this company...who steals your money without authorization... The picture is proof they charged me twice !

I have bought air tickets with eDreams in February/2019, but during all the purchase process, the site only informed the prices in my local currency. I only received the price in Euros in the e-mail confirmation. During the purchase process, the price in Euros was never provided. There are several international sites that work with external currency but they change in the credit card the price in local currency, according to the exchange rate of the purchase day, but it was not the case. I had to pay for the tickets in Euros, paying the credit card exchange rate and taxes. This gives an amount totally different from the amount that I accepted to pay during the purchase process. I have opened 2 complaints at eDreams with no return so far (500269 and 489884).
This is not a best price guarantee and not transparency.
I don´t want to cancel my travel, but I would like to be compensated on the difference that I have paid from the value that I have accepted to pay. This can be through additional bags to dispatch and or seats reservation.
I will be waiting for a response.

I've been trying to get my refund with eDreams for close to 2 months now. eDreams representatives keep promising a refund. First refund was promised within 7-10 business days. Three weeks later - nothing. Called back to be promised a refund in 72 hours. Nothing. Called back to be promised a refund in another 7-10 business days. Nothing. Called back to talk to a supervisor. eDreams representative refused to connect me to a supervisor. Tried to get an extension number of the person I talked to. They refused to give it to me. What will it take for me to get a refund? I keep getting a run-around and so far all I got is empty promises.

To whom this may concern,

I travelled with edreams ([protected]) from the 3rd january to the 24th january travelling from melbourne to beijing via haikou, then beijing to harare via hong kong and johannesburg and then lastly, my expected flights were from harare to melbourne via nairobi and abu dhabi. Each of my flights were either delayed or cancelled.

My flight from beijing to hong kong arrived an hour late and I had 20 minutes to get to my connecting flight to johannesburg. There was someone waiting for those connecting passengers and we were made to run from the flight to the other connecting flight. As a result of running across the terminal my prescription glasses fell out of my bag and I have had difficulty with my vision ever since.

Following on from this I was emailed and told my flight from harare to nairobi had been cancelled on the 22nd january but rescheduled to the 23rd january at the same time (12:10-16:10). As my connecting flight from nairobi to abu dhabi was scheduled for 14:35, I attempted to explain over the phone that it was impossible for me to take this connecting flight but was told it would be fine several times. As I was in zimbabwe at the time I was made to pay international roaming costs to make these phone calls at a rate of $5 australian dollars a minute, with a phone bill having reached $1300.00 because of this. Additionally as I was on a volunteer program where I was teaching in local communities and working in lion conservation with african lions, I repeatedly had to miss out on going to activities because I had to call edreams and be on the phone for hours to try and seek a resolution, this resulted in several days of me missing out on my program. I continually explained that it would not be possible for me to attend this flight and would continuously be placed on hold for long periods of time (anywhere up to an hour) or hung up on. As it was important that I make it back to melbourne to start my new job and I was continually being told different things from different people i.e. That my flight would be fine and I would make it, that I would be given a new connecting flight and return home a day later, etc. I was then made to pay for a further nights accommodation and transfer in harare, as well as having to cancel my non-refundable pre-scheduled accommodation in nairobi, this obviously includes the visa I paid for to visit there which I was not able to use.

After going through the process of speaking to so many people on the phone, as well as never being given a resolution and worrying I would not be able to return home in time to start my new job. I would have spoken to up to 12-15 different people and they all told me different things, eventually out of frustration and with the knowledge that these phone calls would continually raise my phone bill I requested that I speak to a manager. During this phone call she told me to fill out a claim upon returning. She also said that it was no longer possible for edreams to offer me an alternative to get home and that she would cancel my flights and request a refund for my flights home (which I have now received - this was roughly $900). As a result of my need to get home and edreams not offering me an alternative I had to book new flights to leave which cost me a $1700.00 australian.

Further to this on the day of the 22nd january I received an email from steven nyoni who is the sales and ticketing agent in zimbabwe for kenya airways (my harare to nairobi flight was through kenya airways).in this email he stated as follows "dear daniel, our sincere apologies for cancelled kq706 today which was scheduled to depart at 12:10 today. We will put you on kq704 departing 16:30 today. Check in will be at 14:00 today. Kind regards, steven nyoni".

After being told that it was impossible for edreams to offer me an alternative, I was surprised to then receive this email being offered an alternative. While edreams had made contact to state that the flight was cancelled a week prior, it is alarming that they didn't think to contact kenya airways to try to seek an alternative. As I was staying somewhere that was 4 hours from the airport, I didn't have the time to make arrangements to make this flight, nor had the travel company I had put my trust in even knew it was a possible alternative. Had I been able to make this flight, it would have saved me a $1700 flight home, I would not have had to pay for further accommodation in zimbabwe, lose my non-refundable payment for accommodation and a visa in kenya and the costly phone bill.

I am appalled by the customer service I have been provided by edreams and don't see myself ever wanting to use its services again as this has been a very stressful and costly exercise. I look forward to hearing back from you about this.

Regards,
Daniel mcgowan

hello Santosh,

Thank you for contacting us.

I can simply just add the allowance on for you to reflect 25 kgs.

We will not be making a refund, so please confirm and I will add this on and send you the receipt.

Best regards,
Christos.

Dear sir,

While I was booking for the Jodhpur Mumbai leg, It was showing 25 Kg as baggage allowance but when I went thru the full booking and added my daughter as well as co passanger, what I got on the ticket as 15 Kg, which is a fraud and I need full refund of the ticket.
I am travelling with big baggage to overseas and can not afford this ticket.
The other airline Air India is having Rs 4999 per ticket with 25 Kg and you have cheated me by showing 25 Kg and finally giving 15 Kg.
I need full refund of the money.

I have sent so many screen shots to Mr Amit, Manager on customer care and spoken for 1 Hours. I need justice.
Pl refund my money back.

20 dec I booked a flight with edreams for ba gatwick to madrid and as soon as I received confirmation I booked a connecting flight from madrid to nice for my daughter and partner.
As soon as they arrived at the desk (within minutes) they were told the ba flight had been cancelled for some time.
Edreams took my booking and payment for a cancelled flight.
I had to pay for them to overnight in a hotel and booked an alternative flight for the next day.

Over the course of 2 weeks I tried on numerous occasions to phone customer service at edreams. Average time 20 minutes.
I could not find a claim form on-line.
In desperation in not being able to speak to anyone, I wrote on 3 january an email with my claim, asking to send me a claim form if necessary.

For the next 3 weeks I have emailed full details and receipts and received automated responses.
On wednesday 23 jan I received an email asking me to phone customer service

I tried.
Yesterday I got through and finally spoke to a supervisor. The 'systems' were down and they were unable to help but
Ahmet ashokan promised to phone me back today.
He did not.
I have just phoned customer service again and of course was unable to speak to ahmet.
I spoke to keshalv at around 17:00. He told me they had approved to refund only the one ticket gatwick to madrid and it will take up to 6 weeks.
When I asked about my other expenses he said I must complete a claim form - which I could not find on-line and asked for by email.
He promised to transfer me to a manager.
I held on
And on
And was cut off after being on the phone for 58 minutes.
Still no satisfaction.

Edreams customer service operation is dreadful.
I am out of pocket by over £2200 but they theoretically have approved a refund of 1300 euros.

I am most unhappy.
I am most frustrated.
I have spent over 4 hours on the phone trying to sort this out.
They do not read nor action emails.
I tried to find an address and persons name so my solicitor can write to you but that also seems impossible.

Are they such a big company that they do not care about their customers?

How can I received my refund for all my out of pocket expenses incurred because edreams took my booking for a cancelled flight?

I booked two return airline tickets from Johannesburg South Africa to Brisbane Australia and back online via credit card on 5 January 2019 for 2665.93 USD - Booking ref. [protected].

I cancelled the booking immediately but an amount of R39, 272.13 was debited to my credit card account. I called their client services number 00-34-934-92-05-33 and the consultant advised that the full amount would be refunded to my credit card account within 10 days. An amount of only R35, 799.05 was refunded (R3, 472.85 short) and when queried I was told to check with my bank, which I did and they advised that they only process exact amounts received.

I queried the foregoing again with eDreams and they again point the bank as the problem. I requested the consultant to provide me with proof but only received a no-reply e-mail stating that the full amount was refunded but no actual documentation processed to the bank was provided.

I visited the bank and presented the e-mail but they reconfirm that they have processed the amount received from eDreams.

It would be appreciated if you could please assist me with this matter urgently.

Kind regards
Adriaan Walters
