In 2021, eDreams ODIGEO updated its methodology to include more components relevant to the COVID-19 pandemic. The new classification rated airlines based on refund viability, flight cancellations, ticket flexibility, customer experience, and COVID-19 safety measures. In 2021, Qatar Airways was named the best airline in the world by eDreams.{{Cite web|last=Thomas|first=Geoffrey|date=2021-03-04|title=eDreams votes Qatar Airways world's best airline|url=https://www.airlineratings.com/news/edreams-votes-qatar-airways-worlds-best-airline/|access-date=2021-07-07|website=Airline Ratings|language=en-AU}}

From 2010 to 2019, eDreams ODIGEO published an annual study of the best and worst airports in the world. Airports were rated for their overall appeal as well as for their waiting areas, shopping facilities, and restaurants.{{Cite web|last=Shead|first=Sam|title=The 10 best airports in the world|url=https://www.businessinsider.com/the-10-best-airports-in-the-world-according-to-edreams-2017-3|access-date=2021-07-07|website=Business Insider|language=en-US}} A score out of 5 was given to each airport to form the ranking of best and worst airports in the world.

In 2019, eDreams only published the best airports in the world ranking, without publishing the worst airports in the world.

eDreams ODIGEO uses booking data to predict the next year’s travel trends. In 2020, it used data from 17 million customers to reveal the most booked destinations for the following year.{{Cite web|title=European destinations set to dominate in 2021, says Opodo parent eDreams ODIGEO|url=https://travolution.com/articles/117715/european-destinations-set-to-dominate-in-2021-says-opodo-parent-edreams-odigeo|access-date=2021-07-07|website=Travolution|language=en}} In 2021, Lisbon was the most booked destination for European travelers.{{Cite web|title=Lisbon favourite destination for Europeans|url=https://www.theportugalnews.com/news/2020-12-18/lisbon-favourite-destination-for-europeans/57241|access-date=2021-07-07|website=www.theportugalnews.com|language=en}}

The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020-2021 saw a shift in Europeans favoring short-haul flights over long-haul flights as travel remained uncertain. During the pandemic, customers booked their flights and holidays less in advance than in other years. In the summer of 2020, 33% of travelers booked their flights 0–5 days before departure, compared to 2019 when the most popular time period to book travel was 31 days in advance.

In 2021, eDreams ODIGEO commissioned an independent poll with OnePoll to reveal traveler booking preferences post-COVID-19.{{Cite web|title=Comparing prices top of travelers' list of gripes, finds eDreams consumer research|url=https://travolution.com/news/travel-sectors/travel-agents/comparing-prices-top-of-travellers-list-of-gripes-finds-edreams-consumer-research|access-date=2021-07-07|website=Travolution|language=en}} 10,000 adults from 8 countries were surveyed to understand how consumers book online travel.{{Cite web|title=Travellers to seek wider choice of airlines post-pandemic|url=https://www.webwire.com/ViewPressRel.asp?aId=272487|access-date=2021-07-07|website=WebWire}} The findings from the poll revealed that 75% of respondents expressed a preference to book via an OTA as opposed to direct with an airline due to convenience and cost.

eDreams ODIGEO produces an annual study of the best time of year to book a flight, based on bookings made through their websites in the previous years.{{Cite web|date=2021-01-05|title=Cheap Flights Guide: Money Saving Ways to See the World - When's the Best Time to Book|url=https://www.holidaysafe.co.uk/blog/cheap-flights-guide-money-saving-ways-to-see-the-world-whens-the-best-time-to-book/|access-date=2021-07-07|website=Holidaysafe|language=en-GB}}
