Nobody ever touch edreams either paid £408 for flight in September then told me my flight with Qatar airways was not confirmed charged me another £236 pounds to get e-ticket I came in November 10th then when I contacted them again about another issue they told me my flight Manchester to Doha then Doha to Bangkok was not allowed and I would have to book a direct flight from Heathrow costing £678 total bull shit they tried to scam me for sure and want reporting for this and people need to be vigilant iff booking with edreams I arrived no issues they said I would get that money back £236 in 10 to 14 weeks somehow I can’t see it disgusting they want striking off shame on theme

I had Thai Smile cancel my flight and so I had to rebook with another airline, get a new hotel confirmation, and get a new Thai Pass. What a huge pain in the ass. Still waiting on a refund from Thai Smile. I hope it doesn't happen again!

air Asiana cancelled my flight into Phuket on January 7th unfortunately I could not get replacement flights into Phuket so now I had to cancel my air tickets and wait for a refund as well I have to now fly into Bangkok so I have to cancel my hotel in Phuket and my insurance

I had booked my travel insurance through Luma I was very disappointed because my departure date from Thailand changed and they would not make that change on their policy they say I have to cancel my policy wait 30 days for a refund but purchase a new policy in the meantime

Very disappointing customer service so I cancelled my Luma policy and I booked with a Canadian Insurance Company
