A purchase on this Platform means that You make an order to eDreams to acquire services from third parties for You, which implies a payment obligation.

Unless expressly indicated, eDreams acts as an Agent for You and does not enter into any contractual relationship with You and/or the Travel Supplier relating to the services that You purchase on this Platform.
See the relevant section/Annex below to learn more about your specific travel contract.
Except when acting as a tour operator in the sale of package travel, in which case special terms and conditions included in the Annex 3 of these T&C apply. We make no representation or warranty about the suitability of the information, software, products and services contained on the Platform for any purpose, which may include inaccuracies or errors. In particular. We make no representation about the quality of the services provided by the Travel Suppliers, provided that such Travel Suppliers furnishing services are independent contractors and we only perform our activity as Your agent. As a consequence, we are not liable for any act, error, omission, representation, warranty, breach or negligence of any Travel Supplier or any personal injury, death, property damage or other damages or expenses resulting from, as well as it has no liability and will make no refund in the event of any delay, cancellation, overbooking, strike, force majeure or other situation beyond its direct control.
2.2.The term "Travel Supplier" includes as appropriate inter alia airlines, tour operators, package holiday suppliers, hotels, hotel chains and hotel aggregators or other accommodation providers, insurance suppliers, railway and rental car suppliers.
2.3. eDreams will assist You to purchase travel services, providing to You with mediation services and therefore acting on Your behalf with the Travel Supplier(s). It is important to note that Your travel service(s) will be subject to the terms and conditions of each Travel Supplier. We encourage You to check and read carefully the terms and conditions from each Travel Supplier before purchasing its products or services, especially those relating to cancellation fees. eDreams has collected the terms and conditions of the most frequent Travel Suppliers for You. Please check here. If Your Travel Supplier is not there, please visit its website to check its terms and conditions.
2.4. By using this Website to book products and/or services, you authorise Us to act as your representative during the process of comparison between Travel Suppliers and booking of products and/or services from the selected Travel Supplier and to make the payment for such products or services in your name and on your behalf, as required. Your contract for this intermediary service will be between you and Our relevant subsidiary (described at paragraph 1), and it is different to your contract with the Travel Supplier (referred to at paragraph 2.1). Accordingly, We may charge you with a service fee, depending upon which product you book. You will be advised of any fee before you confirm your booking. Where you provide us with the details of your credit card or debit card to make your booking, you authorise us to use these details to make the booking on your behalf. When payment is made in this way by us on your behalf, you will receive a confirmed ticket issued by the travel supplier.
2.5. Additionally to the above and without prejudice of the possible application of specific conditions for Travel Packages stated in Annex 3, the Platform may contain links or redirections to third parties’ websites where relating products and/or services are offered: booking of hotel rooms, leasing of touristic apartments, rental of cars, cruises, bus tickets, forfeits to sky, etc. These links or redirections may address to a totally independent website or to a micro website technologically managed by eDreams, depending of the current commercial partnerships at each moment. In both circumstances, if You purchase some product or service there, You will be bound by a direct agreement with the Travel Supplier, without mediation by eDreams. As a consequence, You will have to accept and apply the terms and conditions imposed by such Travel Supplier.
2.6. The total price of your order with the appropriate breakdown will be displayed once the search process, price comparison and selection have been completed and, in any case, before You finalise the booking by clicking on “ACCEPT AND PURCHASE”. Prices are displayed based on the daily calculated rates offered by Travel Suppliers and can therefore vary on a daily basis. Likewise, applicable taxes, such as airport taxes may fluctuate on a daily basis.
In rare cases, there may be a mistake in the price. Obvious pricing errors are not binding. An obvious pricing error is one with an obvious and manifest error, where it is apparent that no reasonable person would consider the price to be normal. In those circumstances, we reserve the right to cancel the booking with no penalty and refund you the amount charged. We may offer you the opportunity to keep the booking at the correct price and pay the price difference.
2.7. When You have completed Your purchase order by clicking “ACCEPT AND PURCHASE”, You will receive an order confirmation email, containing the summary of all details of Your order, as a confirmation that Your order has entered correctly in the systems of your Travel Supplier(s) and that Your payment will be processed. Our obligation to process Your purchase order is subject to having received Your payment in full. You will receive a second email, confirming that your purchase of the travel service has been properly processed and that Your payment has been received in full and will contain the e-ticket number. In the event that, for any reason beyond the influence of eDreams, Your order, partially or in full, cannot actually be processed, we will immediately contact You. Note that if you ordered a low cost flight, you will only receive one email containing both the order confirmation and the e-ticket number. In any case, please do not go to the airport if you have not received the e-ticket number for all the flights you have ordered.
2.8. We reserve the right to cancel Your order in the event that we can reasonably believe it is fraudulent – i.e., the payment method is not legally valid and/or you are not the legal owner of such payment method, among others. Under these circumstances, we will attempt to contact You, using the email address provided by You during the booking process, or through your bank. If we cannot contact You or your bank, your order will be automatically cancelled for security reasons.
2.9. In accordance with the EU Directive on eCommerce and their local transpositions, as applicable, we inform You that the order confirmation email is the proof of Your contractual relationship with eDreams. This document will be filed in eDreams records and may be accessed by You at any moment, upon request.
2.10. In connection with particular options or special requests relating to the provision of travel services (e.g. specific meal on board, disabled facilities, child seats etc.), You have to take into account that eDreams will transfer Your requests and preferences to the Travel Supplier(s), but it will be necessary to wait for the Travel Supplier(s) coming back with confirmation. As a consequence, we expressly inform You that the request for any particular or special option may cause a delay to the confirmation of Your purchase. During this delay, we may not ensure that the service which You have ordered will be still available or the price will be still the same as shown at time of your order was made.
3.1.1. The chance to cancel or change a travel product or service purchased through this Platform, as well as the way to do so, will depend on the terms and conditions of your Travel Supplier(s), which are usually according to the sort of fare chosen (i.e. low cost fares do not usually allow changes or cancellations). eDreams can assist You to find out whether Your fare allows changes or cancellation and, if you wish, eDreams can also manage your request with your Travel Supplier(s), by charging a service fee of up to sixty euro (€60) per person and route cancelled and/or changed. Please note that our services fees for managing cancellations and/or changes do not include the amounts eventually charged by your Travel Supplier(s), according to their terms and conditions. If you wish to order a cancellation or a change through eDreams, please contact us via our Help Centre. These requests cannot be processed by email.
3.1.2. According to Article 103.a) of the Royal Decree 1/2007, of 16th of November, by which it is approved the General Law on Consumers and Users Rights, we inform You that once your purchase is confirmed, the mediation service provided by edreams is considered as totally executed and therefore you are not entitled to use your withdrawal right anymore.
3.2.1. You will see total price of your order with the corresponding breakdown, once You have selected the Travel Services You want to order, which is before You will be bound by any contract or take any payment obligation. Such total price will include the price of all of selected travel services, including optional services, and eDreams’ service fees. Please note that eDreams’ services fees are non-refundable. This is because the service fees are charged for the mediation services provided by eDreams, which are fulfilled when the booking has been confirmed to You.
3.2.2. eDreams’ service fees will vary according to the products or services included in your order, the channel used and other factors. In the event that Your order cannot be processed because You use a invalid credit or debit card, eDreams will charge You an additional service fee of up to sixty euro (€60) and will provide You with instructions to make the payment of Your order effective. Once full payment has been made by You, the additional service fee will be refunded by deducting it from total price of Your order. You will not receive any of the services ordered until full payment has been received. Note that price of the services at the moment you completed Your purchase by clicking ACCEPT AND PURCHASE may change due to the elapsed time between completing Your purchase and the moment on which Your payment has been received in full. In such case, to process Your order You must accept the price of the travel service(s) which is applicable at the moment the full payment has been received. In the event that any problem arises relating to you payment, we will contact You within forty-eight (48) hours from your order (or within twenty-four (24) hours if You are traveling within forty eight (48) hours) and will instruct You to make the payment effective.
3.2.3. If you order includes one or more flights, be aware that some airlines will directly charge You, so payment to the airline(s) and payment to eDreams may appear as separate transactions on your bank account.
3.2.4. You can only use the payment methods as listed on the Platform. No other payment methods are accepted by eDreams.
3.2.5. All prices which are mentioned to You on our platform are including VAT (if due at all). Note that specific VAT rules are applicable to the provision of travel services, as well as the mediation regarding such services. This means that the amount of VAT included in the price of the travel services, as well as in the mediation fee (if any), depends on the destination of your travel as well as whether you are a private customer or customer with a VAT number.
3.2.6. For security reasons, You will be requested to enter your credit or debit card information each time you make an order. You authorize eDreams to use such information to (i) pay the products or services ordered, (ii) pay the insurance premium, if applicable, (iii) manage refunds, when appropriate and (iv) pay post-booking services requested. In all cases, Your payment details will be encrypted in a secure server, according to PCI standards.
3.2.7. eDreams will also charge You with additional fees for using certain payment methods as stated by the applicable laws, i.e. if You use a corporate card or a tripartite system (American Express or Diners). Please note that our systems automatically detect the payment method which is actually used by You and the corresponding additional fees are charged, if any. Please, note that, If You pay with a credit or debit card which is held by another person than you, we will assume that You have previously requested the permission of the card holder. eDreams reserves the right to send e-tickets, confirmations, e-vouchers and other travel documents exclusively to the card holder.
3.2.8. In certain cases, subject to prior contact with the Customer Service centre, You will be able to pay by bank wire. In these cases, there must be a difference of at least six (6) working days between the date of your order and the departure date of the ticket. By choosing bank wire as the payment method, eDreams will charge You the total amount of your order in one single payment. You must ensure that there are sufficient funds available to settle the payment. In the event of a returned payment due to lack of funds or any other reason, eDreams will charge You an additional service fee of up to sixty euro (€60) and will immediately give You instructions to make the payment effective.
3.3.1. Refunds are subject to the Travel Supplier(s)’ Policies, as the case may be. If You are eligible to be refunded according to such Policies, be informed that Your refund will be processed using the same payment method as used to pay Your order. Note that the air fares contain different elements and not all of them are refundable, so even if you are eligible to be refunded according to your travel supplier(s)’ policies, the refunded amount may not be exactly the total price paid for your booking.
In some cases, the refunds from third party providers will be received by us and passed on to you. Be assured that after due receipt of the refund and of the relevant and valid information attached to it, we will transfer it back to you in 7 days.
3.3.2. In the event that You have ordered a non-refundable and unchangeable flight, and You will not be able to use it, be informed that You may claim anyway a refund for some airport taxes which are included in the air fare. In case that You wish to request the refund of the airport taxes through eDreams, You may contact our call centre services. With this request, You authorize eDreams to carry out all necessary actions on Your behalf to be refunded. Please note that the deadline for requesting the refund of these airport taxes is twelve (12) months from the date of purchase of the tickets or six (6) months from the date of the flight, if this is later. For this service, eDreams will charge You with an additional service fee of thirty nine euros (€39) per person, which will be deducted from the amount refunded.
3.4.1. You should check accurately with the relevant embassy about passport and visa requirements in advance. It is Your responsibility to be in possession of a valid passport and, if appropriate, a visa. Under no circumstances eDreams can be responsible if You do not have the right travel documents or permissions.
3.4.2. Every destination has its own requirements concerning entry formalities, vaccinations, etc. and these may also vary depending on the nationality of the passenger. We recommend that You obtain this information before planning your journey. eDreams cannot be responsible for incidents deriving from customers being non-observant of these official requirements.
3.5.1. All tickets ordered through this Platform are e-tickets. The e-ticketing system is a paperless method to buy airline tickets. Once You have made your order, eDreams will send You a confirmation email with your flight booking reference number(s). Please note that You will not receive a paper ticket to show at the airport.
To manage your booking, on some occasions, we will set up a virtual email associated with the specific booking. In this case we will provide you with all the relevant data that could be needed to handle the specific booking.
3.5.2. In this regard, we would like to inform You that every airline has its own rules and procedures regarding e-ticketing, and we would urge You to check these regulations before getting the airport. In any event, we recommend you always having a printed copy of your confirmation email containing your flight booking reference number(s), although not all airlines request to see it. Some low cost airlines apply extra charges if You do not print and show your boarding pass at the airport. eDreams recommends to accurately read all booking confirmation email specifications. You may need to check in and reprint your boarding pass again if your flight or passenger details change.
3.5.3. eDreams understands that the information provided by You is right and accurate, and can therefore not be responsible if your e-ticket does not arrive to your inbox due to an incorrect email, or goes into your spam folder. You must notify us immediately if You change your email or telephone number. You must also check that the name that appears on your passport coincides with the one mentioned on your ticket and/or booking confirmation.
3.6.1. eDreams recommends You take out travel insurance for your travel. If You decide to purchase travel insurance policy through the eDreams Platform, your will conclude two separate agreements (a) one agreement between You and the Insurer which is relating to the supply of travel insurance, subject to the terms and conditions which are mentioned in the insurance policy and (b) one between You and eDreams which is relating to the mediation service regarding the supply of the travel insurance by the Insurer. eDreams will charge you the insurance premium plus applicable insurance premiums taxes (if any) on behalf of the Insurer and will also charge a fee for the mediation service. In any case, You will have access to the insurance policy before being bound by a contract or a payment obligation. We recommend to carefully read the terms and conditions of Your insurance policy.

4.2. Any other use of the content on this Platform is strictly prohibited, including its total or partial reproduction, modification, distribution, transmission, subsequent publication, exhibition and/or representation. In particular, any type of use of the images contained on this Platform outside of this Platform is strictly prohibited without the express consent of eDreams and/or its suppliers.

5.1.1. If You are traveling into or out of the EU, or using an EU airline, You may have rights which You can claim to the relevant airline in the event that your flight is cancelled, delayed or You are denied boarding. Please consult Regulation (EC) 261/2004 or contact our Customer Services Department.
5.2.1. Please contact our Customer Services Department if You have any query or complaint relating to your booking before your departure. You can use our Help Centre, which is a 100% online system, or You can call the telephone number displayed on the header of the Web page.
5.3.1. eDreams may amend or update these T&Cs at any moment, without prior notice. The current version of these T&Cs will be the one shown on the Platform at each moment. Please consult the current T&Cs each time You make a booking on this Platform. You may not transfer any of your rights or obligations under these T&Cs without our prior written consent. We may transfer any of our rights or obligations under these T&Cs without prior notice or consent.
These T&Cs shall be constructed and governed by the laws of Spain.
In the EU, you are entitled to the rights defined in the EU Regulation 261/2004. According to this rule, the airline is solely responsible for granting your passenger rights and assisting you directly even if you booked your flight through a travel agent.
Please note that the contract of carriage will be set up between You and the airline and it will be subject to the airline’s terms and conditions. eDreams only acts as intermediate in the purchase of your air ticket. It is IMPORTANT that You check the terms and conditions of your airline, since the air fare chosen could be unchangeable and/or non-refundable. Moreover, airlines may charge for ancillaries’ services to the air transport service such as checked baggage, airport check-in, preferred seating, in-flight entertainment, food, drink and snacks, etc. Any charges for these additional services are not included in the price of your air ticket unless explicitly provided otherwise and must be paid to the airline directly. Please note that, if your flight includes more than one route, each one can be subject to different rules (i.e. for baggage allowances, visa requirements, etc.). This can happen even if the routes are operated by the same airline, but one route is international and the other is domestic.
In particular, it is IMPORTANT that You check the following:
In some cases, in order to provide special return fares, we combine two one-way fares on different airlines or on the same airline. This means that You will have two separate bookings (one for your outbound flight and one for your inbound flight) and each booking will have its own fare rules. If You need to cancel one of the flights, it is possible to keep the other. Any cancellations, schedule changes or other modifications to one of the flights will not affect the other flight, and the fare rules of the other flight will still apply. For example, if You cancel one of the flights, the other airline is not obliged to refund the other part of the journey and offer You a change of itinerary. You may incur costs of any change with the other flight if it is necessary.
In the event You chose a low-cost airline to fly, please check accurately the rules applying to your air fare, particularly the existence of ancillary services which are not included in the price of the air ticket and note that your flight may depart from a smaller, regional and/or secondary airport. The airport is always displayed before the purchase in flight details section.
According to Spanish Laws, all Spanish citizens who are resident in Canary Islands, Balearic Islands, Ceuta or Melilla (“Residents”) have the right to get special discounted fares when they fly within the national territory from or to home. Residents’ parents who live in third countries also have the right to get these special discounted fares when they visit their parents/Residents.
In order to access to such special discounted fares, during the purchase process You need to select the option “YES, WE ALL ARE RESIDENT” (“Resident Option”). In case You think that all circumstances are met (domestic route from or to a Resident location), but the system does not give You the option to select the Resident Option, we encourage You to contact us via our Help Centre.
When You select the Resident Option, Your condition as Resident will be checked by the Spanish Government (Ministerio de Fomento) before to issue the air ticket. In case that the result of such checking is positive, i.e. Your condition as Resident is confirmed, Your air ticket will be normally issued and You will not have to show any document at the airport. In case that, otherwise, the result of such checking is negative, i.e. Your condition as Resident cannot be confirmed this automatic way, you will need to show at the airport an original certificate of residence, duly issued by your city countil or, if You are a member of the Spanish Parliament (Congreso de los Diputados o Senado), the corresponding Certificate as such.
According to Spanish Laws, all Spanish citizens who are members of a large family and they have been officially recognized as such have the right to get special discounted fares when they fly within the national territory.
In order to access such special discounted fares, You need to call our call centre and perform Your booking by phone with the assistant of one of our agents.
We reserve a space on this Platform for travel providers that offer hotels and accommodation services. Please note that the booking of accommodation will be set up between You and such travel providers. eDreams does not intermediate in this transaction, but rather acts as an information service provider consisting of the provision of content or related search tools, according to EU directive on e-commerce:
It is IMPORTANT that You check the terms and conditions of your travel provider and the description of the hotel or accommodation establishment before booking. For reference purposes, we recommend You to check the following:
A Travel Package is a pre-arranged holiday package combining at least two of the following travel services: (a) transport (b) accommodation or (c) another tourist service not ancillary to transport or accommodation and forming a significant part of your booking, and those two or more components are sold to you as a whole at the same time by us at an inclusive price with full payment being made to us.
If you are a customer within a country in the European Union and are acquiring a Travel Package in this Website, the combination of two or more travel services offered to you is a package within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2015/2302. As a consequence, these special terms and conditions shall apply and you will therefore enjoy all the rights that apply to package travel within the EU framework.
If you are not a customer within a country in the European Union and are acquiring a Travel Package in this Website, the terms and conditions as set out in these T&C shall apply, unless this would be in violation with a mandatory applicable local regulation. In such case, any combination of products booked shall not constitute a Travel Package and your contract will be with the relevant third party supplier(s).
We also reserve a space on this Platform for travel and non-travel providers that offer products and services such as cruises, car rental, leisure activities, etc. Please note that the purchase of these services will be set up between You and such travel providers and that they are not Travel Packages (without prejudice of the application of any mandatory local regulation). eDreams does not intermediate in this transaction, but rather acts as an information service provider consisting of the provision of content or related search tools, according to EU directive on e-commerce.
