Why isn't eDreams asking for a passport number?
I bought tickets from eDreams and this site didn't ask for a passport number only my name and bank account number so I could buy the ticket. Usually when I have booked from different sites, they always ask for a passport number. This brings up a question how will airport staff verify my identity when I want to check in for the flight?
Actually this isn't the only weird thing. When I checked my booked flight, I discovered that my return flight time has changed. I'm okay with the change, but shouldn't eDreams notify me about the change of the departure time? What should I do in this situation? Is everything okay?
Best Answer
Staff won't verify your identity. Anyone with a matching name could arrive and check in for your flight. Fortunately, I've never heard of anyone being defrauded out of a ticket in this manner (how many people with a matching name will know that you have booked a flight so they can check in for it before you do)?
In fact, asking for passport details at booking has been quite rare until maybe ten years ago, at least in my experience.
To verify that you match the ticket, the airline will make sure that the name on your identification document matches the name on the booking, and the photograph on the identification document matches you.
As to the changed flight time, yes, perhaps your booking agent should notify you, but it's always safer to check directly with the airline.
