Opodo
Reviews and Complaints

Because of a personal issue at home I needed to modify flights. Opodo contact centres open and close at terrible hours so to modify tickets at hours outside the hours they are open it is impossible. I actually got through to Lufthansa because I couldnt change flights through Opodo because of their ridiculous opening hours and they cancelled the first flights with the promise that the second one could be modified with a phone call. I called up this morning before the second flight would have taken off and got a message that their call centre opened at 9am. I called when they opened, got put through to different departments and then was told the flight was non refundable and non changable even with a charge because of the no show, it was only a no show because of Opodo's useless opening hours. I now need to rebook flights and will never, ever book with Opodo again. Lost all the money put into the flights easily resolved with a telephone call that couldnt be made because Opodo likes to save cash on offshore contact centre workers that dont understand much English (Or didnt when I called). My booking ref was [protected].

I booked a ticket with Opodo and after the payment nit going through numerous times it finally went through on the 3rd go. I tgen stayed on the phone with the agent until I received a confirmation from them and my eticket. The next day I was refunded partially and immediately checked my email to see if I gad been contacted. There wasn't any communication from them so I contacted them on the phone. They said that the booking was cancelled and they had tried to contact me. I said that wheb the eticket was sent I was still on the line with thier agents and nothibg was said. I then asked why was it cancelled but did not get a clear answer. I asked to speak to a manager and was told to wait. After a long wait I was put through to another person, I once again explained the situation and asked him to do something about it. He said he couldn't do anything about it and he was quite surprised too to see a cancellation after an eticket had been issued. I then asked for his name and position and it turned out he was another agent and not a manager. I then asked to be put through to a manager and he explained that they did not deal with customers on the phone. He then tried tonrebook and a technical error occured. He then suggested I complain using the online form. I did that abd the reply I received was that they were concerned and understood why I was not happy and hope it won't prevent me from booking withbopodo again. Clearly a generic email they use to deal with all the complaints they receive. I tried once more on the phone and all the responces avoid the issue which is why was my ticket cancelled and why aren't they booking another one for me. It was lucky that I checked my bank account otherwise there would have been 0 communication from them and I would find out far too late to make alternative arrangements. I am now considering legal action as I was issued an eticket and that was cancelled without any reason or even communication.

I booked flight through the company www.opodo.co.uk. I filled the form and got the email, which stated that my booking was on request. It meant that they would reach me soon and provided the ticket. I waited and got nothing. I started to send emails to the customer services, but everything was completely useless. No idea what to do now, so please help me. Post your comments and share any useful info.

People, stay away from the company www.opodo.co.uk. I booked flight through this website. When I checked my account, it turned out that they took hidden charge from me. They overcharged me for £50, ‘coz I used Master Card. WTF? It was too much, as well as it wasn’t mentioned about this fee on the website. They are liars and scammers, and I want to find other deceived customers, who lost money. Please we need to stop this company and return our money. Post your comments.

I booked with Opodo on 12/18/2012 for traveling on 12/24 between two Brazilian cities. They sent a confirmation notice and issued e-tickets details the same day as the booking. Since I later did not get any contact from them either by email or phone call. I presumed the ticketing had been made.. But when the three of us went to check in early morning 12/24, the plane carrier could not found our ticket information and said our tickets were not in their system. Stunned, we spend 3-4 hours tried to contact Opodo to get an explanation and rebook the tickets at the airport. However, Opodo replied that our ticket booking was cancelled on 12/19 and had e-mailed the same day the cancellation. But I could not find any cancellation email in my Inbox or Spam.
Opodo could not book any ticket for us until after new year. We were stuck at a foreign airport without any help from Opodo. Luckily enough, we finally ourselves booked ticket to leave the airport on 12/25 Christmas day, but we have to stay 1 night in hotel, taxi transportation, and other expenses.When we got home we contacted Opodo about this miserable experience and ask for some compensation. They denied their fault and gave excuses, one by one.
First they said they had notified me about the cancellation, and the payment was refunded; they have never been able to show the original cancellation email although we requested many times. Then they said there was a system error/ technical issue. Yesterday, 1/8/2013, they said it was due to the credit card payment being declined [the card has very high, much more than enough credit limit]. Ridiculous, every email from them was a lie.
If they made a mistake and caused a customer's damage, they should admit it and compensate it, but they just lied and blamed customers.
