Opodo prime and edream prime discounts on flights

Laineyrose

Can anybody help with flights I have booked for 5 11 21 and 12 11 21 with Ryanair. The outward flight I used Opodo prime for discount on the flight, and edreams prime for the return flight.  Both Opodo and edreams offer a 30 day free trial and the end date for the trial is 06 11 21 and can be cancelled if you cancel 3 days before 06 11 21.  I am worried if I cancel Opodo and edreams before 06 11 21 that my flights would also be cancelled, but not sure if this is the case.  Also I couldn’t work out if both Opodo and edreams are separate companies as they both have the same T & Cs. If they are separate and I don’t cancel it would cost me £118 (£59 ea.) for the year!  Would be grateful if anybody else has used Opodo or edreams and what happens if they cancelled.

Firstly, eDreams has a very poor reputation and relatively recently bought Opodo (which up to that point was a good and reliable agency). So you are effectively dealing with two different parts of the same company.

Secondly, if you have actually bought flights and have received the tickets then it is highly unlikely that the agency could cancel them. You will have to read the terms and conditions for "Prime" to see what happens when you cancel your subscription.

Thirdly, if your airline cancels your flights then any refund or re-routing would have to go through your travel agent, and with the agent you have chosen would be a great deal of trouble.

You really have slipped into bed with the devil here.

Both businesses (same parent) have quite appalling reputations, are Spanish based and lack positive reviews from customers.  If things go well, no flight changes or your travel plans are not disrupted, then hopefully you will be ok.  If you need to contact them for any reason then the fun will start.

You are certainly very brave to use these two businesses during these unstable times.

Generally the best and lowest RyanAir fare with no strings attached will be on www.ryanair.com.

To answer the question posed: the T & Cs for "prime" do not say anything to suggest that they could cancel your booking if you cancel your subscription, while the general T & Cs make it clear that once you have paid for a booking and tickets are issued it is final, and can only be cancelled on grounds of fraud. So you are reasonably safe in cancelling your subscription well before payment for 'prime' falls due. I suggest that you do this well before you are due to travel, so that if they do anything 'funny' you will not be in a panic.
