Does anyone here have any experience with Opodo?

I almost ended up purchasing tickets through them before seeing there was an offer to get some money off if you used their app. So I downloaded the app, but…

What's the algorithm for British Airways ticket pricing (how price for a flight changes with time)?
Was on the phone with BA booking some flights because of a complication on their website, and the agent told me there were only nine seats at the current price level for my dates, and once those had sold the price would go up (for the next nine seats I presume). This could have been a sales tactic, although I don't think I…

Insurance to cover if airline cancels flight, refunds me, but not enough to pay for alternative.
I'm looking to book a flight to Buenos Aires for next February with BA, but I see BA are currently cancelling all their flights to this destination.

WizzAir question
We are flying back to UK from FuerteVentra with WizzAir next week.
