shame opodo

so yesterday booked ryanair flight with opodo. basically all theve done is took my details and went straight to ryanair to book exact same flight. the reason i book with opodo is they were £7 cheaper inc this "fee" so i thought why not. so checked my bank statement and yep, booked same flight and charged me £3.58 for the privilege. been searching on here and realize no one can charge cheaper than ryanair. so warning to all, dont book with !!!!!!!! opodo, complete con artists.

i tried to explain to them what they had done and refund me charge but i think there missing a great deal of brain cells.

    I assume you did not do any search on Opodo before you booked
    There are many hundreds of people that have posted their bad experiences after the event and the common theme is that they did not do any research first

    Your warning will just add to the ones that are already there and will never be seen by people, like yourself, who do not research until after the event

    Just put Opodo (or Edreams) into the search at the top and you will find 300+ posts on this site alone (Trip advisor forums also has many many posts by people sucked in by the cheaper price)
  • yes i totally ballsed that up. i always book direct with airline but on this occasion i was !!!!in in the wind. anyways im on the flight and its just there fee i lose. however will never deal with them again or edreams, and i urge other people to do the same. i mean even edreams say they have 1000's of bookings everyday or some crap. i just wish somehow i could tell everyone else this. like u said alot of people dont search and end up getting stung.
