Booking flights with Terminal A or Opodo

fillmore08

Has anyone used Terminal A or Opodo to book flights to the US? They are both really competitive but I am a little wary as the flights they are showing aren't even available with the original carrier yet.

Any feedback anyone has regarding Terminal A or Opodo would be welcome.:beer:

Terminal A adds a fee that isn't shown in the initial price. Is that included in your quote?

Never heard of Termnal A, but Opodo is a major travel agency that has been around for a long time. Up there with Expedia and Travelocity.

The quote shown is for the airfare plus taxes. I haven't ventured beyond that as I won't book with them until I have researched them first.

Is the fee much? Thanks for the tip off.

don't trust TERMINAL A! Don't ever book with them! they will charge you but never issue and e-ticket! My partner just had to pay for his flight again directly with United to be able to fly as nothing went through!
Opodo is a good website but TERMINAL A should not be allowed! Just try to call their helpline.... already gives a pretty good indication how dodgy they are! Had to cancel my creditcard to make sure they wouldn't debit my account......

I used Opodo last year to book flights to Hong Kong, no problems.

I used Opodo to book a deal with Delta -rather than diect with delta as it was too cheap to be true. Some delta people were bounced by delta but Opodo honoured the cheap flights to NY.

Opodo is fine, used them for many bookings. They're also good for car hire.

Also, definitely check out ebookers dot com. For flights and car hire.

As has been said above, Opodo are extremely well respected in the industry so I wouldn't have any worries about booking with them. I've never heard of Terminal A though.
Are you looking at flights more than 6mths in advance? If so, this may be why they aren't showing on the airlines website just yet. Companies like Opodo, who do full itineries, have an idea what the winter timetables for the airlines will be but they aren't set in stone, especially in the current climate. The time slots that are advertising will be roughly correct but I wouldn't be too surprised if the actual departure times are slightly different to the ones currently being offered. This is common practice and not something to worry unduly about.

I've used Opodo many times without problems but never heard of Terminal A.
