By partnering with over 600 airlines, eDreams ensures that travellers can check in for their flights directly through the eDreams platform or the mobile app. This process simplifies one of the most stressful parts of travel, allowing passengers to:
1. Check-in from anywhere: Travellers can check in via the app or website as early as 48 hours before their flight. This avoids long queues at the airport and saves precious time during busy travel periods like public holidays or long weekends.
2. Select seats: Passengers can choose their preferred seating in advance, whether they prefer extra legroom, a window seat, or sitting together with family.
3. Access boarding passes: Once checked in, eDreams users can download their boarding passes directly to their phones, making the process paperless and efficient.
4. Receive real-time flight updates: eDreams sends notifications for flight delays, gate changes, or boarding information, ensuring that travellers are always up-to-date.
Popular travel destinations
Mauritius and Zanzibar
Both destinations are highly popular among South African travellers, especially during South Africa's summer (December to February) and long weekends. Their close proximity makes them ideal for beach getaways, where travellers can enjoy warm, tropical weather. eDreams’ last-minute travel deals and package offers make spontaneous trips to Mauritius and Zanzibar easy to plan and affordable, especially during peak times.
Europe: Spain, Italy, France, Greece, and the UK
During the June-July winter break, South Africans often fly to European countries for extended vacations. Spain, Italy, France, and Greece are preferred for their Mediterranean climate and historical attractions. For those visiting family in the UK, eDreams technology allows users to book multi-city flights or dynamic packages, bundling flights and hotels for a smoother and more affordable experience. Additionally, off-peak seasons in Europe, such as spring and autumn, attract travellers looking for quieter vacations and lower prices.
Thailand and Bali
Known for their year-round warm climates, Thailand and Bali are favourites for South Africans, especially during school holidays and winter months (June-July), when many seek tropical escapes. eDreams allows users to find cheap flights to these destinations, as well as access early-bird discounts and price alerts for peak travel times, making it easier to plan trips.
