edreams scam flight tickets
Save

Hi,

To is to warn about buying any plane ticket on edreams.

I recently bought a plane ticket London to Bangkok vie edreams.

On the day of departure I was denied boarding at the airport at London Gatwick as my ticket was not valid.

I had to purchase a full return trip at the airport travel agency in Gatwick airport : they told me that I was not the first victim : this happens several times a week !

Their customer service is refusing to refund anything : this is plain fraud and robbery.

Don't be an other victim of this scam : don't buy your ticket on edrams !

had you done a search before booking with Edreams you would have found numerous threads about them.

There are many many threads and posts warning about eDreams in here already, more so than any other travel comapny I can think of. I think we've reached a point where, if the current warnings don't have any effect, nothing will.

Just enter edreams in the search function on this forum and you will see you're a tad late about issuing this warning, maybe you should've read some of the posts and threads before you purchased tickets through them?

Were you given a reason as to why your ticket wasn't any good? As Katy has already said researching before purchase is what you should have done.

Sadly as long as people chase the cheapest deal without informing themselves before they buy, from whom they buy what, with which restrictions, they will continue to be in business. And posts like yours will continue to pop up after the tickets have been bought. The same with other companies.

I agree with Froggy that it is unusual that you receive a ticket and then you are denied boarding. What was the reason?

No, not even the thousandth and you won't be the last. Right now, people are throwing cash at them in the desperate hope of a non existent discount.

May as well put your cash in a bucket and set fire to it and save yourself the worry and stress.

One side of me actually admires edreams for the ease of taking money from people - it's easier than taking toffee off babies, and some days I wonder why I didn't launch a "stupidity tax" business like theirs - all these posts on here post-purchase must total thousands yet still the foolish flock to lose their money - a lost cause I fear
