Opodo are terrible

DO NOT USE OPODO THEY ARE CROOKS.

Horrible service from Opodo and "invisible" extra charges. Premium call rates charged to UK customers who contact customer service for changes/cancellations.

All flights are non refundable....

This was even two months before the flight date.

Ridiculous, Please do not use them, They are milking consumers dry.

    Yes.

    Last week a man from Opodo came round to my house and slapped me in the face. Out of the blue! I could hardly believe it.

    He also stole my cat.

    Just goes to show really.

    You think you've had it bad mad_rich? The man from Opodo broke into my house while I was asleep and ate my hamster! :mad:

    To the OP: I think you will find if you buy a non-refundable air-ticket it is just that.

    If you cannot travel you may be able to reclaim taxes, or put in a claim on your travel insurance if you are covered.

    Pah, slapped faces and hamsters are nothing.

    I heard that the film "snakes on a plane" was actually a true story and guess who had chartered the airline the incident happened on??? Yup you've guessed it opododododo.

    I've also read on the t'internet that they are "in" with the badger ma-fia (curious cant type that word in one go, maybe the MSE bods are scared of em too)

    Not THE Badger? :eek::eek::eek:

    I've noticed about 3 brand new users in the past week or so have a poll on here as their first post. Do we think some A/Es are having a laugh or should I not be so mistrusting? :p

    I have edited my post as it wouldnt allow me to teype a certain word, which was odd.

    Regarding the OP I wonder if he has a problem with all the people who would be made redundant if opododododo went under, so much for empathy ehh.

    If you dont like the service of a company Mr OP dont use em, simples!!!!

    Opodo is actually quite interesting, sometimes it has Q booking class fares at very low prices, which aren't available on airlines' websites.
    But since they are Q booking class, they have the most restrictions and are often non refundable.
    Posts are not advice and must not be relied upon.

    I would not say don't use Opodo they are crooks. I would say if you use Opodo check your booking more than once over before you submit it, if you make a mistake however small don't expect any sympathy and any help you get will have a hefty charge attached to it.

    Hang on... if Opodo are crooked for selling airfares that are non refundable when they state they are non refundable, then the following companies are crooks to

    Virgin Atlantic
    Expedia
    British Airways
    Qantas
    Delta
    Last Minute
    US Airways
    EasyJet
    Ryan Air
    NetFlights
    United

    The list just keeps going on and on!

    The original post is potentially libelous so I hope the OP has concrete evidence to support their statement.
