GO Voyages is a French online travel brand of eDreams ODIGEO,[1] a travel subscription platform headquartered in Barcelona, Spain.[2][3][4][5]

History

GO Voyages was established in 1997 as an online flight-booking company.[6][7][8][9] In March 2007 it was acquired by Financière Agache.[10][11][12] In 2011, GO Voyages merged with eDreams and jointly acquired Opodo to create eDreams ODIGEO, a European group backed by Axa Private Equity and Permira.[13][14][15][16][17][18][19] In April 2014, eDreams ODIGEO held an initial public offering on the Bolsa de Madrid.[20][21][22]

Operations

GO Voyages focus on flights, rail, hotels, dynamic flight and hotel packages, car rental, and travel insurance.[23][24][25][26] The subscription programme provides members with discounted fares on flights, hotels, travel packages and car rentals, and additional travel benefits.[27][28][29][24][30]

Regulatory and consumer-protection actions

GO Voyages and other brands within the eDreams ODIGEO group have been the subject of regulatory and consumer-protection actions in several jurisdictions.[31][32][33] Go Voyages was fined in 2024 in Portugal for 2 mln euros for not disclosing the hidden fees.[34][35] References
