  • Ironic that they're charging you an 'admin fee' when the customer service is non existent.
  • Sadly my mother passed away and I needed to cancel my return flight.

“No full refund after prime membership cancellation”

Ivy L.
3/1/24

I had bad experience confirms that I would never try Opodo again. I accidentally signed up for Prime membership in January 2023, and despite my attempts to cancel it shortly after, the payment went through and couldn't be refunded due to the 30-day limit. Recently, I discovered that the membership renewal charge of £70 was deducted from my account. When I contacted customer service to request a refund, I was only refunded £50 and given a voucher, which I find unacceptable. The customer service representative, Dana, repeatedly asked if I could hear her due to poor connection, making the experience even more frustrating. It's disappointing that the company's terms and conditions prevent full refunds for customers in situations like mine.

I cancelled my booking within the 7-hour free-cancellation period that my flight had when I realized I need a different flight plan.

Opodo refunded my money to the penny within 3 working days (only downside is that since my account is not in GBP I got screwed on the exchange rate, but that's my bank screwing me, not Opodo).

One weird thing is that I still keep getting emails as if my booking was still confirmed and even when I log in to Opodo's site to manage my booking it still appears to be confirmed, only thing indicating a refund is that in the "Billing" section, the mentioned total is "Total: £0.00 Congrats! That's an amazing deal".
Aside from this confusion, really good service.

Using Skyscanner, I was able to find the cheapest flight through Opodo which I booked. Dublin to Ottawa for 370 euro return. After reading the reviews, I was extremely nervous about not booking directly through the airline. But, I had no issues. My flights were confirmed minutes after booking and I was able to check in at the airport.

I booked my flight then they messed my return dates. Changing dates they told me will cost at least £600. If Cancel then I lose a percent. I chose to cancel and they would refund my moneybin 10days they never. I called them. In 11th day they said in 3days. They Never refunded me. Then I call again. No refund. Until today it has been almost a month
OPODO A HUGE SCAM! SCAM SCAM SCAM... DO NOT USE IT!
