So many people say "Always book directly" and claim it's not that much more than on third party websites. But from my experience that is not true AT ALL. For example, I'm currently in the process of planning a trip and convenient times are around $400-500 on Expedia/Kayak and through direct airlines sites like Frontier, Sun Country, Delta, etc. it is over $900

honestly- after being mugged in broad daylight- i realised that, anything can happen at anytime. and you're right, like just cuz it doesnt happen a few times doesnt mean it could.

I personally always book directly with the airline, may not always be the cheapest but definitely it’s the safest, and don’t need to worry if I need to make changes or anything

[jnv]

At least I know this feeling: from the moment you click "pay now" until you get the ticket in your email is always a bit scary. Never had a lost ticket though, but I can imagine how you feel. Wishing you all the best Tah!

Tah same thing happened to me 3 years ago!
I still always use skyscanner but always go and book through the the actually airline!

Edreams scammed me on my ticket to the Philippines

[DirkSchuitemaker]

I always book with the airline these days. In case of any issue I can reach them and they can help out. No need to contact a third party and all the hassle that comes with it. In case of fraud protection. Always keep in mind if the offer looks to good to be true, don't do it. Also make sure your system is secure and up to date with patches and antivirus and use a VPN when booking tickets.

Number 1 rule: always pay with your credit card. You will get your money back from the credit card company if anything goes wrong.
Number 2: ensure you have travel insurance
Number 3: never pay via a bank transfer

Hello Tah. Thank you so much for sharing this with all of us. Your video will save many others from losing money as well. I hope and pray that you recover what was lost. Be careful and be safe. Looking forward to your next video about your trip home.

Thanks for the E-Dreams warning. I always use Sky Scanner and have had good results with them.

[leechafertravels]

Rule number 1: ALWAYS BOOK DIRECT WITH THE AIRLINE!
So sorry this happened to you though Tah. And nice work putting this video out to warn others!

[FelixCervantes]

That is why you always book directly with the airlines. Imagine if you had a problem with the flight and need to call them. It would have been a nightmare.

[jbjay]

Im glad you shared that story. I've seen E-dream many times and have been tempted to use them because of the low price, but my gut always tells me not to. Im glad listen to my gut! 🙂

[ItBeAryeezy]

Thank you for putting out this information. It is sure to help many out there trying to go to their dream destinations! ❤

[christybones]

Oh no edreams are notorious for taking money and disappearing

[Mickman]

E-Dreams have a sister company called Opodo so avoid them too.

[fernandomayoceprian]

Thank you for sharing so that we don't fall into the same situation🙏🏻

[ambientlife]

E-dreams are also bad for hotels. They say a particular deal is cancelable and then when we click and pay it now shows it as not cancelable. Also I got sucked in thinking I was paying Australian dollars when it was USD and so was actually more expensive than I had thought. And for airline tickets they lie about the online automatic check in options, its not available on all flights, depends on the country.

[boyaloud]

A similar scenario happened to me. They did exactly the same thing you are describing. My credit card company advised me to wait two weeks before disputing the charge. After two weeks, there was no refund from Edreams or Opodo (same company it seems). Please tell us if you were able to get your money back from your bank. I hope so. I am waiting for Capital One Bank to refund me. Thank you for the video

[proofread.alimnour]

I just realized that hundreds of people have been complaining about their refunds. Blablabing this matter is childish and demand a legal action immediately. It is not possible to let eDreams continue their unfair trade practice and cry. No people MUST get together now and seek a good lawyer. If I can afford to lose 1600! USD I am not a loser i will never give up to follow a principle that crooks must pay. eDreams it's registered in Madrid Spain.

Thank you for sharing your experience. I am so sorry this has happened to you.
