Opodo unethical behavior

Date of the incident - March 4, 2017

I bought the plane tickets from Opodo in December 2016.

On Mrach 4, 2017, I got a letter from Opodo saying one of my flights got cancelled. The booking confirmation is [protected]. I'm trying to contact them for 5 days now... writing to customer support on their web site, calling them... they don't reply...nobody's picking up the phone, it's just impossible to contact them.

I want to find out what I should do with one of my flights cancelled? Are they going to change my flight? Are they going to buy me different flight tickets? Or what should I do?

How can I contact them? I need to know about my flights!

Opodo hours on phone: 30 days + still waiting for refund

It all started with failure to honour the “best price guarantee” (Which met opodo’s conditions!) by a customer service rep - and after waiting 30 mins on the phone! How much easier it would have been for opodo to keep my custom and offer the minimal difference - instead a refund was offered, confirmed with an email.

30 days later and counting .. Opodo still has my money, in the meanwhile sending automated emails about check-in to the flight I cancelled!

As a result, another hour of my time wasted trying to get through to customer service again, being put on hold, passed around and then finally escalated to a supervisor - giving his name as “karan” and whose promised email on action has yet to materialise…

I have lost all trust with opodo from the appalling service and incompetence I have experienced with them and can only hope that they eventually return my money…i am left with the impression of being cheated by a cowboy set-up.

Opodo cancelling flight reference number [protected]

I need to cancel my refundable flight with British Air ways. Tried calling your customer service number more than 5 times. Each time the call gets disconnected after 30 min. I cannot call to a direct number and Its not possible to leave my number so you could call me back. This is ridiculous. You are wasting your costumer's time. Please call me back to this number [protected] or write me to my booking email otherwise I will be forced to issue a complaint to the relevant customer protection services in the UK and to dispute the payment.

Opodo incorrect flights

I am writing in connection to a booking place on the evening of 24/02/17.

I booked flights to bangkok from Manchester for 21/04/2017 returning 01/05/2017.

But recieved confirmation for 17/04/2017 returning 27/04/2017.

I called this morning once the contact centre number was available and spent a hour speaking to 5 different departments on a premium rate telephone number to be told no one could help me. 

At this point I was promised a callback, which didn't happen.

4 hours later I called again and spent another 30 mins on the premium rate number speaking to 3 different departments.none of which would allow me to speak to a supervisor or manager. 

I was eventually promised a cancellation and full refund. However I was informed this would take 3 weeks even though the payment was still only showing as pending.

This is unacceptable as I still need to book my flights before the prices increase further.

Furthermore I was informed that my time and inconvenience and cost for attempting to correct your error could not be reviewed. Again I was told I could not speak to a supervisor or manager.

I was informed to contact your customer service team via the website. A facility that does not exist.

I refuse to spend any further time on the telephone at my own cost, so have written this email to the only email address I can find.

Opodo travel agency

I have had so many problems with this travel agency. I have been away from homr for 9 months and was just trying to book my flight home. The design of the mobile interface is lacking in information and misleading whixh led to me having booked my flight with a doubled surname. There is no passenger overview to show the information I have entered just as every other booking site has, instead, the mobile site directs you straight to the checkout. I booked my flight on the 13th of jan 2017 and after getting my booking confirmation email realised that my name was incorrext. After more than 5 attempts to resolve the issue, with Opodo in contact with my airline discussing my name change, and countless hours on hold, I called again for the last time on the 7th of february 2017 to find that my request for a name change was denied as thr change required more than 3 characters to be altered. It was suggested that I cancel my flight. Had I been informed my name change was denied or had Opodo discussed my name change with the airlines propperly I could have booked a different flight further in advance and saved money rather than the 10 days I now have. Not only has this been stressful and mentally draining on myself I have lost hundreds of pounds due to this companys poor oragisation and lack of proffesionalism. This experience has left me stressed and in debt with only hald a refund being given back. I will never use opodo again and implore my friends and family to do the same.

Opodo contact communication issue (refund)

Incident date: Dec 2016
Booking reference: [protected]

I cancelled my trip in Dec 2016 and was told by an agent a refund would be coming from 30-60 days. Today would be Day 53 with zero update.

Now, the biggest issue is contact and communication. The website provides many places to send an email, however the email will be returned over and over again as "undeliverable". When I did call several times, costing me $.20 a min for a total of $100 on my cell bill) I informed the agent of the technical issue with the email system and process. As of today, still unable to email the company. I have even contacted them on Facebook without success. Please help! Beware! As of now its a black hole.

Hi forum, Opodo contacted me after communicating on this site and on their public Facebook page to inform me that a refund is coming (haven't received yet). It does work to be diligent and tenacious. I am thankful or will be once the funds are returned that resolution is coming. I will not however use them in the future. I have used Kiwi.com several times with great success and they even refunded me once for a cancellation (without fees) within one week. My other complaint is that they don't supply a toll-free number so the followup did cost me an additional $100 to call. BEWARE of that. Best of luck.

Opodo refund after not allowing me on my flight and saying it was a no show

This company is the worst! I booked with opodo (big mistake). On arival at the airport I was held at security with united airlines and asked many person questions that have absolutely no relevance to them and after 45 minutes they decided I was not allowed on my flight as I did not have a visa to enter America (it is not required as I was only passing threw transit). After showing this to them they still would not let me on my flight or allow me to cancel my flight. I called opodo to cancel and they told me I was marked as no show so are not able to refund my ticket! I have proof of being at the airport, I even had to book another flight from the airport for 2 hours later with a different airline as I already out of my home country. This is pathetic. I advise anyone booking with this company to re think the idea. This will be taken to the press.

Opodo stop-over information not shared, unable to board flight without visa

It was the morning of 14th December and everything was set. My wife and I had planned for our trip to New Zealand for over a year. The moment was finally upon us. Christchurch to Auckland, 3 weeks in our self-contained campervan, nature, lakes, glaciers, caves - you name it and our itinerary had it. This was going to be perfect. We had used all the tips and recommendations from friends and Lonely Planet to build the trip of our lives - this was going to be epic. My father-in-law's passing away in November made it more 'medicinal' than 'recreational' - my wife and I needed this time together, away from civilization and everything else. But sadly Opodo and China Airlines did not let it happen!

Back to the morning of 14th December. With our tickets in our hands, we got to the check-in counter. Inspite of the long journey ahead (Frankfurt-Taipei-Christchurch) we were excited. "Can I please see your visas?" asked the lady at the China Airlines desk. I smiled back and opened our passports which carried the New Zealand visas and added "We also have the print-out for visas for Taipei, where our stop over is.". She quickly retorted, "Yes but what about your transit visa for Australia?". For a moment I did not register this - "what's wrong with her? what's she talking about?" I thought to myself. We were told that our flight had a 1 hour 20 minute re-fuelling stop in Sydney and being Indian passport holders, we needed a transit visa for it. Without the transit visa we were not allowed to fly. We tried to explain multiple times, showing our tickets, that Australia was NOT MENTIONED anywhere on the tickets. All the tickets said was, Frankfurt-Taipei-Christchurch and Auckland-Taipei-Frankfurt. Soon the main airline representative was called. She, in a hurried 'I don't really care about it' attitude said boarding won't be possible without a visa. She made no effort to help solve the problem at hand. We asked for help, for alternatives and for solutions - nothing seemed to work. Except for the lady from Frankfurt Airport ground staff who went out of her way to find information and help out, no one seemed to care. We saw our New Zealand dream crumble in front of us as our flight departed and stopped showing on the information monitor.

My wife and I were in a state of total disbelief. We called Opodo - the travel booking agent through which we booked our tickets. In total this was a 4 hour call made to their UK customer service center which refused to call us back instead. At first they tried to convince us that the airline staff at the check-in counter had made a mistake and no such stop-over in Australia reflected in Opodo's system. They confirmed that in case the airline had made a change to their schedule, it was possible that they had not informed Opodo and thus we were also not informed. I immediately asked for a written confirmation on the same, which was promptly sent to me. However a few hours later they confirmed that all China Airlines flights have a second stop over in Australia - but why did the booking confirmation from Opodo reflect only 1 stop in Taipei? Why did the same confirmation not mention Sydney or any other place in Australia? And whose fault was it anyway? And who would pay for all the monetary losses we made on our flights and bookings in NZ? We have no answers yet from either Opodo or China Airlines. Neither of them has stepped forward to solve this issue and help us get a fair resolution.

Opodo flight from simferopol to larnaca cyprus - booking ref 5l9wn1

I booked a flight on Opodo website from Simferopol Ukraine to Larnaca Cyprus with Ural airlines for the 15th and 16th November 2016. It was a two legged flight. Opodo misled me when paying for the flight they stated I will get a discount and no service charge will be charged, but when the final total came they charged me for the service charge. They also charged for me using a debit card, 10 euros, a very excessive amount.
They also did not give me a chance to include check in baggage with my ticket when I was first purchasing teh ticket on their website.
So when I got to the airport Ural airline charged me 35 euros for checking in my bag from Simferopol to Moscow on 15th November 2016 and then anther 50 euros to check my baggage in from Moscow to Larnaca on 16th November 2016. Even though it was just one ticket I had bought.

Booking code was 5LN9WNI. The point is as I was making the booking opodo's website offered to waive this fee but when I came to pay, this fee was back on and I ended up paying 10 euros more than I was promised. You have not addressed the baggage fee of almost 80 euros charged by the airline once I was at the airport. Opodo did not give me an opportunity to include my checked in baggage when making the booking. Of course the cost is much higher when you pay at the airport. I was charged baggage fee for each leg of the two legged flight.

Opodo wrong flight

I booked a flight via Opodo service and they messed everything up and booked me a completely different flight! When I noticed there was a mistake it was already too late and their rep said that nothing can be done.
It took me weeks to get my money back and I got nothing but headache.
I will not use these guys again and would not recommend them to anyone. They are highly unprofessional and unreliable.

Hello Liti,

Thank you for publishing your comments about the recent experience you have had.

We may assure you that we work hard to make the booking procedure as easy and pleasant as possible to our customers.

Being the customer who enters the details into the reservation system when filling the on-line booking form and the Opodo the entity, which would issue a ticket on that non-modifiable basis of the registered information, we are sorry to inform you that no mistake is possible and, it is for that reason we always recommend to our customers to double check the data before confirming the purchase since once the booking is confirmed, is definite.

Please do not hesitate to share your booking details with us replying a private message we have sent you should you require any further assistance or information.

Opodo extra charges

Made a booking via www.opodo.co.uk and after I paid for the reservation they added some extra charges. This was the second time I used Opodo and as I remember there were no extra fees when I used this service for the first time. I checked their website very carefully and there was no information about extra fees. Wanted to ask their support what for did they charge me but they did not reply to my question. Well, Opodo is not a bad company, but there is terrible lack of customer support and it is really difficult to reach these guys.

Opodo thieves and liars!

I have booked a flight and later they contacted me and told that they were not able to process my payment so they cancelled my booking. They claimed that they did not charge my card. When I checked my bank statement I saw that they actually did take my money so I immediately contacted Opodo support and asked for a refund. These liars refused to refund my money and kept telling me they did not have my money! Opodo is a total scam, save your money and book elsewhere!

Opodo airline booking

Booked two flights for BA for Gran Canaria to Heathrow plus two bags in the hold. They confirmed this in an e mail. Went on to the BA website and they knew nothing about bags in the hold. e mailed Opodo and they told me to pay the £80 to BA, send them the receipt and they would refund me. They have done no such thing. All they do is play for time telling me I will get the refund "in a few days". They are a disgrace. I have initiated a Visa chargeback via my bank. And I will try very hard to get them on the BBC Watchdog program for sharp practices

Opodo poor customer service

Booked a flight through Opodo and needed to make a change to the booking. I accepted there was an administration fee to change the booking, I wanted to know what the total price, including the new flight is. All Opodo could tell me was there was an administration fee. After over a week of emails and phone calls, they cannot get passed telling me there is an administration fee. They have now not responded to follow up emails in over a week, and so far I've spent just under 2 hours on hold on their phone system. Absurd customer service.

Opodo airline travel

My recent experience with Opodo is one of extreme customer service failure, failure to respond to numerous queries about my flights and lack of concern by staff on the telephone in relation to baggage I had paid for as to whether they had booked this with the relevant airline. I fly tomorrow and Opodo has still not confirmed that the hold baggage I paid them for has been booked by them with the airline.

The company has just ignored my numerous contacts with it.

I am a totally dis-satisfied customer of Opodo.

Opodo refund

was overcharged in March after I cancelled my flight and I have been waiting for my refund for over 2 months now. I have rang up numerous times to be told the refund had been processed but were unable to give me anymore information as it was being handled by the accounts department. When I asked to be transferred to the department they said they could not transfer me but last week I managed to get hold of the supervisor of Opodo who he promised me that I should get my refund of £244.91 in the card which I had originally used to make the payment. When asked if they could email me confirmation that the refund was being processed this was not done. But I was given the name of the customer agent I had spook too. But I have been ringing up the day after day. The money has not been refunded since March.It's not as if I was asking for a full refund. It's that they told me a refund amount, I agreed to it. They irreversibly cancelled my flights and then told me they would give me a much lower amount.which I have been waiting but today the agent just told me he do not know what is happening to my situation and my money.am so upset right now don't know what to do but I will just let my solicitors to do this for me.

Opodo unable to contact them

I booked a number of flights starting in Japan, through Beijing and arriving in Bangkok for early August this year. I received a confirmation email, but then received a notification that one of my flight times had changed and to call them. Unfortunately I am not currently in the UK, I am living in Japan and could not use the telephone number I was given. I sent an email to let them know that the change was not a problem, but they said that if I didn't call them my flights could be cancelled.

Over the course of the next couple of months, I have attempted to contact Opodo through email, through the international number (which does not connect) and through the 0333 number I have been given multiple times (it goes through to a Japanese home number), and I'm out of options. I was then told yesterday that another of my flights has been cancelled, and I'm now on another flight which would leave me in a very difficult position of having 25 minutes to transfer. I have emailed them to ask if they can contact me on my telephone number, or discuss this through email, but I just keep receiving the same message over and over with the number I cannot use.

I am hoping someone from Opodo sees this as they are clearly not reading my emails.

Commenting to add that since this complaint, I have had several more unhelpful emails, and have been told that the flight I would definitely miss has now been changed. This would be helpful except for the fact that it has been moved to around 6pm on August 7th, which is two hours before my flight sets off to get there. Unless I have a time machine I cannot make a 6pm flight when I don't arrive at that airport until after midnight.

Still no help with emails, and no other options to contact them given.

Opodo couldn't modify flights because of opodo useless contact centre hours

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].

Oh I did forget to say, since you replied to correct me. For the benefit of other customers who have booked flights through Opodo and lost them because they were unable to modify them, it is in most cases possible to reclaim the airline tax that you paid for your unflown but paid for flights. If your flight is cancelled or you do not fly, you will likely be able to claim all the tax paid minus a ridiculous "Administration fee" by Opodo. Only after you fly, are your taxes paid to HMRC, therefore if you did not fly, you can claim these back. Because you are booking through Opodo, you paid them, you did not pay the airline, so it is the responsability of Opodo to pay you back this money. Opodo will charge you £25 to give you your money for the tax you paid back. Here is their address to do so: Opodo PO Box 6589 Leicester, LE1 3ZZ.

Here is the text from Opodo's website: You hereby authorise Opodo to carry out all the activities necessary to obtain such tax refund. You agree that you have 12 months from the date of your scheduled flight to write and ask us for a refund after which time you agree to forfeit any right to apply for tax refunds. Please note that refunds can only be processed to the form of payment used at the time of booking and that all refunds are subject to the relevant airline's policy and a Opodo refund service fee. You hereby authorise Opodo to deduct the applicable refund service fee [of GBP 25 / EUR 30] from the amount of the tax refund payable to you

Thats all fine and well simply saying that you are an "intermediate" and a "price comparison" website, however you dont simply earn referrals, you deal with the bookings, you are the travel agent here. When someone books with you, they dont see their booking on the airlines website, this means that they cannot modify their bookings UNLESS they contact you, the travel agent, therefore to simply say that you are a price comparison website/intermediate and nothing more, would be incorrect. Because you actually take bookings, the airlines will (Like they did with me) refer the customer back to Opodo to make any changes or modifications because OPODO TOOK THE BOOKING. Because only Opodo can make changes to a customers booking, it is extraordinary that customers can only contact you during your short opening hours to make modifications to their bookings, in effect the customer is at a severe disadvantage if they book through you and need to make a modification outside your call centre opening hours. Because of your ridiculous opening hours, I am out of pocket by over £300. Your "kind reminder" that you are simply a search and comparison website, is an absurd claim, Opodo is an online travel agency, nothing less and nothing more.

How could you be contacted, you shut at 6pm and didnt open until 9am! I tried contacting you using your website but was told to call. If I had booked direct with Lufthansa the flights could have been changed at any time before departure, but when booking direct with you, this wasnt possible because A) Details dont show on Lufthansa to change and B) You shut early and open late, making it pretty much impossible to change flights. The £20 offered was nothing short of an insult, I along with many others will never book through Opodo again, if I had checked reviews first I would not have booked with you anyway, and if I had known that you dont like to keep your call centres open at decent times I would never have booked through you in the first place. You have lost another customer that has only used your service twice, that was the very last time. Awful service.

Opodo e ticket cancelled without notice

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.

Opodo I haven't received any news from them and no ticket as well

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.
