BARCELONA, Spain, June 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — eDreams ODIGEO, Europe’s largest online travel company, the largest globally in terms of flights outside of China and one of the largest European e-commerce businesses today announced that its innovative travel subscription program, Prime, has reached another key milestone of three million members after tripling its subscriber base in just one year.
First launched in France in 2017, Prime is the first subscription service in the travel sector, offering subscribers across 9 countries access to exclusive discounts and promotions on flights, hotels and car hire. In addition to access to deals and travel itineraries that cannot be found elsewhere, Prime members also enjoy a more personalised experience and access to a 24/7 priority customer service hotline, making booking travel easier and more convenient.
The announcement follows the historic ‘Prime Days’ campaign held earlier this year, which marked the largest number of sales in a single day ever recorded in the business’ 22-year history. The campaign, in its third edition, offered further discounts and better conditions to Prime members. On average, the participating airlines benefited from a two-fold increase in their booking volumes compared to the previous week.
Commenting on the milestone, Dana Dunne, CEO of eDreams ODIGEO, said: “We are incredibly proud to reach another historic milestone with Prime. The continuous and exponential growth of our subscriber base demonstrates the product’s compelling offer and appeal to consumers. Our unique customer proposition offers the highest levels of convenience, personalisation, flexibility and choice to travellers worldwide.
