eDreams
Reviews and Complaints

I booked 4 flight to Bali with Swiss Air via the eDreams website on 5th December 2015 at a total cost of £2597.99. eDreams refunded this money into my account on 7th December resulting in my booking being cancelled and my flights being lost. I therefore had to rebook the flights at an increased cost of almost £400. As a result of this my credit card company instructed their fraud department to investigate. As a result of this investigation by Natwest Bank, an eDreams representative advised that the refund into my account was due to an error caused by a technical or data issue. This error resulted in my paying an increased price for these flights. I have tried contacting eDreams for further advice and explanation but the customer service I experienced was appalling.

his is regarding the eDreams booking. I had booked a Turkish Airlines flight (3 Tickets) and got the confirmation of it. While booking ticket I have also purchased full insurance cover (Europ Assistance). After few days, I received an intimation that there has been change in the inbound flight journey schedule from Turkish airlines. Previous delay between connecting flights was 3 Hrs and now it has become 7 Hours. I had myself contacted edreams support several occasions but everytime edreams could not get through the Turkish airlines support numbers in order to get the other alternatives. I have been following this case since Jan 12, 2016. Today (22.01.2016) we could manage to speak to edreams and got the response as, Edreams will try to get the full refund from turkish airlines as there are no feasible options available at Turkish airlines, but the Insurance charges ( 93, 15 €) and booking charges (40 Euro)will not be refunded. Which is quite a shock to know especially when the change in journey has been forced on passengers and Since we are travelling with a family (a kid 6 Years old) it is absolutely not feasible for us to travel with the changed schedule. Then passengers will have to bear the penalty on behalf of airlines? I am seeking here full refund from edreams to which they are denying saying it is not under policy. Awaiting for a positive and quick response. Thanking you. Regards, Sachin Holikar

Call the president of the company directly. James Otis Hare II started eDreams more than a decade ago. He has now left the US for Singapore, where he has a new company called CVCT (that stands for Cardio Vascular Clinical Trialists, and appears to be a marketing operation targeting elderly heart patients). We called his office and confirmed he has NO medical background at all. James Otis Hare II is instead a Jamaican Black American. He lists his previous experience as running a Ukrainian tech start-up called Asani Technologies (we really are not joking!). James Otis Hare II claims the company exists in Kiev, but the Kiev authorities told us there is no record of any Asani Technologies in existance. Contact James Otis Hare II in his office directly.

we booked a holiday to Amsterdam to leave on the 29th December and return on the 1st January. we booked this on the 25th December and the original holiday cost £140 PP, we done loads of adjustment, which included changing the airport, time of the flight going and coming back, and upgraded out hotel to a Kingsize room. we have had a flood at home so we went away for Christmas and return on the 28th December to print off out board passed to our horror to find out the E-dreams website did not update correct and we should of already been in Amsterdam, we then phone Edreams to see if they could help us, well the only thing they could do was hang up on us 3 time, and give us a phone bill of £150 (not very happy), once we got through to a man call Mario, he basically said it was out thought for not checking the details as the time, but I try to explain to him that problems we had with the flood at home and we went away for Christmas he was still unhelpful, so not only have I lost out but £500 I also have to pay a extra £150 for the phone call as well, we then phone Ryan air too see if they could help us and they told to do a complaint about E-dreams stay way from e-dream that all I can say about this company and they are so rude and unhelp

I booked flights in Nov 2015 to fly in Feb 2016, I have now gone to get the travel documents in order and printed to realise it has booked me to fly back a month later. I have been on the phone numerous of time to E Dreams and Easy Jet each company blaming the other one. All I want is someone to help me correct this error. I have been hung up on at least 15 times its getting beyond a joke customer service is a joke people should avoid at all cost the money you save is not enough to warrant the agro and bad experience you get! I would avoid this company at all costs I cannot believe no-one in this company is willing to help! CONS THE LOT OF THEM

I was checking in my bag at Cork Airport on the 6th January 2016 when I was told that I had not paid my return flight baggage and requested that I paid 40 euros which I did (I had already paid a return flight for bags there and back) My flight reference is LRB8YK eDreams (Ryanair) Receipt No 4697090 for the 40 euros (Flight no FR9852 depart Cork 14.45pm 6/01/16) and I would appreciate a refund on this...

After reading all the posts on eDreams I wasn't surprised that when I called this morning and said I wanted to talk to a supervisor to ma a complaint, they put me on hold for over 1 hour and 15 minutes. After that time, the annoying music stopped and they just hung up. No way to talk to anyone and this is coming back on multiple complaints and comments on eDreams. I have never seen a company with such low customer service ethics. I know they don't care (because the guy told me) but I will go elsewhere and tell as many people as I can not to deal with this fraud. I will contact Air Canada (affiliate) to make an official complaint. Marie-Josée

c'era un grande casino con edreams prima di aver confirmato tutto il viaggio (volo e hotel). prima aspettaviamo di paggare un prezzo che era scritto sullo schermo e poi a'ultimo minuto c'era un supplimento di 50€ per persona per paggare con visa eletron (postepay) - capito. pero, abbiamo ricevuto un email che dice tutto é confirmato ma non il volo per andare a barcelona. non c'era scritto niente di perché. abbiamo aspettato tutta la giornata per un altr'email/risposta e poi finalmente abbiamo chiamato edreams dove dobbiamo paggare per ogni minuto. ci hanno fatto atessa per al meno 10minuti. ancora altri supplimenti. e poi la ragazza ci ha detto di mettere soldi che manca nel postepay carta prima le 16:00 per aver la stessa offerta per questo volo che non era confirmato. quindi l'abbiamo messo soldi e abbiamo chiamato ma un altra ragazza ci ha detto che abbiamo perso l'offerta anche se era prima le 16.00. ci ha offerta di prenotare un volo con loro che era 2 volte piu costoso di quando abbiam prenotato da soli su vueling.com. in fine abbiamo paggato circa 130€ per person in piu di supplimenti. acause di questo incidente con voi, non prenotiamo piu con edreams. grazie communque per un bel offerta con l'hotel. cerco di informate i vostri clienti meglio perche o sentito un incidente molyo simile con due altre persone che non vogliono usare edreams mai piu. grazie.

I received the confirmation email, but it was listing the wrong airline for my flight! I queued 50 mins at the overcrowded AirFrance check-in desks, just to be eventually diverted to the (empty) Alitalia desks -- because my flight was actually Alitalia. Unfortunately, by then I had missed the flight. Alitalia won't reimburse me because they claim it's eDreams fault.

I have booked a return flight from Gatwick-Dublin and added 1 bag to each leg of the journey. I have received email confirmation of this, but when I checked in online for my return flight (tomorrow) my piece of luggage has not been added. I have contacted edreams by phone 5 times, been hung up on twice, filled in a form on their website, sent a message on facebook and nobody has actually helped. It looks like I will have to pay ryanair to add a bag even though I already have paid edreams. I will definitely be considering legal action as there appears to be a scam going on as several people have mentioned this happening to them. I also plan on filling in a form daily on their site until such a time as I get an appropriate response and a refund.

date 23-12-15 Ref no [protected] date of travel 7-01-16 date of return 9-01-16I booked flights from Birmingham to Dublin return today the prices seemed really low after submitting bank details the price doubled saying service charge and a sign saying we cannot hold these flights which then put me under pressure to quickly book I thought these were Ryanair prices so I quickly booked only to find out they were service charges friends and family booked on official Ryanair website payed half to me as there were no hidden surcharges at the end I have called 4-5 times since this has happened today but each time I have been cut off by your employees, 1 member of staff told me to ring Ryanair and they will cancel and rebook without the service charges but they said he don't no what they are talking about its only edreams that can cancel and refund full amount. I would like a full refund or the service charges refunded on this matter Daniel Sheridan

Charged me approx. £30 online for one piece of checked luggage on my return flight from Tenerife to London, but booked my flight as hand baggage only (but sent me email confirmation that I had a checked allowance of one piece), therefore I was forced to pay another luggage charge at the airport. I rang them three times to claim a refund; it takes so long to get through to a human, then the first two people I spoke to had difficulty speaking English and said that they couldn't help because they 'didn't have an accounts department'. The third I spoke to couldn't help me also (why?) but suggested I send an email via their website form, which I did. I received an automated response saying they would get back to me, but they never have...and this was over a month ago. Clearly seems to be a deliberate con.

I booked the flight of a round trip from Bogota, Colombia to Medellin, Colombia. 1. First of all, I did bought the travel insurance and their so called Premium service package. I paid all of those extras, it turned out everything is so disappointed. 2. Due to some personal schedule issues, I need to reschedule the trip, I called them before my trip started to try to reschedule, they rejected by saying something like I can't make any changes in the first 24 hours after I bought the tickets. I mean I bought the ticket one day before my trip, how can I wait for 24 hours to change? that is why I bought the insurance and their premium services, just to in case this kind of thing happens. 3. Because their headquarter is in London, and there is the time difference between my location to their customer services' operation timing. I can't wait the whole night to make that call 2am in the morning, this is inhuman, plus I was wondering what's that premium service is for? But the fact is I did wait until 3 am to make that call, by the time, incase the tickets are sold out, I bought another ticket with another agent, and trying to refund half of my trip, since they rejected me to reschedule my trip at the beginning, and then they ASKED ME to contact insurance company by myself to request refund then call them again. 4. Not mention I was holding a U.S wireless account traveling in the foreign country, which I only have limited wireless talking and data package, and again, the insurance company's customer service have time difference again, which required me to call them even more late than 3 am. People need to sleep, and Edreams just has been inconsiderate the whole time since I contacted them. 5. Obviously, insurance company rejected my request to refund that ticket, then I have to call them again in the morning, which I missed the flight, then I have a no show record, then they said, it was you didn't show up, there is nothing they can do. HAHA classic kicking balls strategy! Such a "smart" move to get away of their responsibility. 6. Hey, don't forget I bought that "premium" service package, I PAID, then I got nothing in return, not even a single trying to try to help me, no, just kick the ball with the insurance company, even though you paid extra! 7. In conclude, this agency is super irresponsible, inconsiderate, and total evil just want money out of people, once they got it, they run away as fast as they can. 8. DON'T EVER TRAVEL WITH Edreams!

We booked one time our flight, and at the time was page error which made our booking automatically few times without knowing, then I have receive confirmation for my right tickets, and next day for some reason I receive other one confirmation email for another tickets which I didn't booked, I been calling for company to explain what's happen and they said that they will refund the money for this tickets made by page error but not full amount cause there is company cancellation fees, so sorry but how they can use this cancellation fees when is not my fault that they page made other reservation, without me knowing that, they have to refund and this fees which they taking about cause is they foult not my ... So please help me to get the rest of the money, cause I don't get it, if I book tickets and I cancel them then fine they can charge me but now they done mistake with the page and they tell me that they will charge me fees, I don't thing that there is any people who like to pay money for something they didn't buy . Thanks I upload a file for this wrong booking and from this amount there is 40£ something as they said booking cancellation fees which I want to get back .

This is a long complaint however in short... dont use this company as you will lose money somewhere along the line! I decided to book flights from Manchester to Benidorm (alcante) for my girlfriend and I on the 15/11/15. I did all the hard work of searching for the right times etc and then the problems began... Upon entering my credit card details (but not my internet password to confirm payment) the screen stopped responding and refreshed itself and said I would have to start all over again as the page timed out so I did it all over again and it worked the second time. I then received an email confirmation for my flights for two people - outbound and inbound.. All was fine until my credit card statement arrived on the 25 November and I noticed that Edreams had double charged me so I investigated... I phoned them and explained the above to a man who could barely speak English and he said that I had booked the flights twice...yes of course I booked the flights twice for exactly the same people at exactly the same time on the same day to the same location, if that was the case I should have received a second set of emails confirming those flights which obviously I didn't! This man explained that I would have to send them my bank statement to prove the dual charge and then I would be refunded (yeah right, as if that was going to happen!) I then phoned Ryanair and cancelled the flights directly and the man on the phone said that the money would be refunded, which was confirmed with two emails for each flight but I should have read the fine print because it said that the money would be refunded in 5-7 working days...It didn't say to who...it was refunded to eDreams (not me) so after 10 working days I decided it was time to chase up my money with eDreams... When I phoned and explained all the above to another man who could barely speak English, he said that I was supposed to then forward those emails I received from Ryanair confirming the refund, to the Edreams email, and they they would then start processing my refund however I should phone back in a couple hours to ensure they have received the email and see if they could even refund me. I phoned a few hours later and once again had to explain all the above details to a woman, who I must be honest was very helpful and polite. I was on the phone for a good 10 minutes while she immediately processed the refund and I thought it was going to be that easy...ya right...she explained that it would take anywhere between 2 and 12 weeks for me to receive my refund of 174 odd pounds not the 183 odd pounds that I actually paid in. The whole process and experience has been extremely painful and costly! I will NEVER EVER use this company again and I don't suggest you do either, no matter how cheap the flights my seem.

Last month I purchased tickets for travel throughout Mexico (3 tickets in total) through edreams. The 3 tickets appeared as 2 charges on my credit card. One charge was from an airline and the other charge was for edreams. When we arrived for our first flight we were told that our seats had been cancelled because the booking agent we used had their card decline. Of course all the seats were taken and we had to re-book with another airline and spend 10 hours at the airport. These new one-way tickets cost the same as all 3 tickets combined. When we arrived at our destination I found that the only valid ticket was the second ticket that actually got billed to my credit card. However, the third ticket was included in that edreams charge, so that ticket had to be re-booked for an additional $160. Now, all we want is a refund for the two tickets that got cancelled. However, edreams is making that almost impossible with their terrible customer service. They transfer your multiple times and when you feel like you might be getting somewhere they hang up on you. I finally got someone to "issue a refund" only to send me an email the next day asking us to "prove" that we had to pay for new flights. Are you kidding me? That doesn't even matter unless they plan on reimbursing us for them, which they don't. We were not on the fights we booked through edreams because their payment was declined. We were fortunate enough to have enough money to book new flights. We just want a refund for the two flights. This company does not have good business practices and should be avoided.

edreams is an absolute scam! i cant believe they are still frauding people every day and no one has stopped them. I purchased flights to dublin and after i entered my card details the price went up by over £250! i rang edrrams and the customer service was appauling, they speak very poor engligh and after getting absolutley no where and asking to speak to a manager they just put me on hold and left me on hold for over 20mins, in the end i occurred an £80 phone bill. I have still not had the issue resolved. Edreams you cannot keep getting away with this, i will not stop until i get my money back! they should also be removed from the top of googles search provider!

I just bought a ticket from porto to madrid. details: depart: porto (opo) date: thu 24 dec 2015 time: 06:30 arrival: madrid t1 (mad) date: thu 24 dec 2015 time: 08:45 when I was buying the tickets, the price was at 0, 99 euro for two persons. I bought two tickets with my creditcard, and after I had submitted the payment, the price suddenly had raised and I had paid 51, 76. I really do not understand how this is possible and how do not understand either how you are able to do this to your costumers. it seems a very unethical act to raise a price of a ticket after payment. I really hope to hear an explanation from you, and what I would like to demand is to have the money I paid for the tickets back. I really think that this is not a way to use costumers, and I must add that if I can not have the money spent back, I am very sure that I will never make use of your company again and I hope many people I tell this story with me. kind regards, auke jelsma [protected]@gmail.com 0034 [protected]

My name is Rachel Logan and on the 26/10/15 I flew from Lanzarote to Glasgow Prestwick, arranged and paid for through eDreams. I arrived at the airport to be told the two 15kilo luggage bags I had paid to take on the flight were not showing on my booking. I was advised eDreams have been doing this all summer to people. I was given a receipt and told to email it to eDreams. I have been driven to my wits end trying to get a refund. I have submitted the invoice on the website and emailed it as well. I have spent hours on the phone, racking up phone bills (£15 this month on phone calls to eDreams). I am a 21 year old girl, I notice £100 when it's been wrongfully taken from me. I amongst many others have been scammed by eDreams and they are now refusing to give me my money back. What am I supposed to do?
