OK so I paid extra for a flexible flight and had to reschedule the flight. I found a new flight for the 30th of July which was significantly cheaper (almost half) of what I paid and selected it in order to book it. I’ve done this process many times in the past with multiple companies and it was always done automatically. In this case however I got an email according to which my request was currently in the “Processing” stage and “Please keep an eye on your phone and emails, as we may need to contact you.” I thought that was a bit weird because of my past experience with other normal non-scammer companies, but maybe it was just for some extreme exceptions and not a common practice. Anyway after a while I got a phone call from Opodo call centre, informing me that the price increased and I had to pay extra! Of course at that point I was almost certain that I was dealing with a deeply unethical and immoral company but gave them the benefit of the doubt. I told the guy who called me that I was really flexible and available to travel at any of the 60 days following the initial travelling day, so all I wanted was to tell me one day with a flight fare less than or equal to the amount I already paid, so that I wouldn’t pay extra and I would book that day. He told me that he would have to check day by day and he wasn’t going to do that! Anyway, after getting off the phone I found a new flight for the 13th of August which was even cheaper than the previous one, way less than half of what I paid initially, to be exact €19.22 (the price is still the same btw as I am writing this!) and again attempted to book it. Again same procedure, email at the “Processing” stage saying “Please keep an eye on your phone and emails, as we may need to contact you.” Indeed after a while I get a phone call from Opodo and surprise surprise…the price again increased and I had to pay extra! I think the extra amount depends on the amount you initially paid…I assume in general it is around 30-35%, that’s what they asked from me and if I try to think as a thief I guess that’s the sweet spot for a successful blackmail. It is like they are holding your money and blackmail you to give them some more otherwise you lose it all! Overall my experience with these scammers was horrible! The flexible option is of course a joke and if you try to exercise it, be prepared to pay ransom for your money! In my case they were so shameless that the ransom they asked was greater than the actual price of the new ticket (that I would pay if I simply booked a new flight). My friendly advice – stay away from this company!! Take care.
