I bought a ticket with carry-on luggage included in the tariff from Opodo. However, the airline informed me that no carry-on luggage is permitted. I contacted Opodo for support and was told that it’s not their responsibility to know the airline’s luggage rules. This is unacceptable—if the ticket clearly states that carry-on luggage is included, as the intermediary you must ensure your offer matches the airline’s policies. You sold me this service, so you are responsible. This response is completely unprofessional. I truly regret buying my ticket through Opodo instead of directly from the airline. It feels like a scam, and it’s a shame that such a company is allowed to operate.

I’m sharing this to warn others about my awful experience with Opodo, which left me stranded abroad, out of pocket, and completely ignored after following their own agent’s instructions. I booked a return trip to London from Casablanca via Spain (14 August 2025). My first flight was delayed nearly two hours, and I missed my connection in Spain. Vueling (the airline) refused to help, saying it was Opodo’s responsibility. I was stuck at the airport with no support. I called Opodo’s customer service urgently and spoke with an agent. I found a same-day EasyJet flight back to London for €191 and asked if I could book it. After checking with his manager, the agent explicitly told me to go ahead and that I’d be fully refunded once I submitted the invoice. I trusted them — big mistake. Weeks later, they told me I would only be refunded £99, far less than I spent. I asked them to review the call recording where their agent clearly approved the full reimbursement — they ignored that completely. No follow-up, no explanation, no accountability. To make it worse, I also had to take an expensive Uber home after missing my pre-booked transport, arriving at 2 AM before work the next morning. Opodo made no effort to compensate or even apologize. Bottom line: ✅ They make promises and don’t honor them. ❌ They ignore their own agent’s instructions. ❌ They treat the customer like the problem. ❌ Support is non-existent once things go wrong. This feels like a scam dressed up as a travel agency. They protect their staff first, not their paying customers. I’m a Prime customer, but clearly that means nothing to them. I’ve now submitted a formal complaint and will escalate this legally if necessary. Do yourself a favor: AVOID OPODO. Book direct with airlines. Don’t trust them with your money or your travel.

Scammers - I never wanted a "prime membership" Any company that needs to hide an annual subscription in the fine print is NOT worth doing business with. In 2024 I booked a ticket, and unknowingly signed up for their "prime membership' which was charged to my card. I never saw this debit, but upon receiving ANOTHER debit in 2025, I saw a pattern. This pathetic company refused to return my money for my 2025 charge, and stated that I was uneligible because I didn't see the charge in time ( ie, 14 days in the EU per law ) -- They never responded through the online complaint form, NOT my email, but Viola! they sure did see my complaint from my Trust Pilot complaint! That shows you they really don't care and just try to do damage control rather than solving the problem.

Avoid Opodo | Report through bank to get a refund I signed up for the free trial to save a few euros on a hostel planning to cancel the membership right after. I also ticked "disable auto-renewal", so they shouldn't be able to charge me. However, when I went to cancel the trial, the only option was to start a free trial, so it seemed like it was cancelled already. At the end of the trial, I was charged the annual subscription fee, tried calling several of their "free prime hotlines", which all charged me because I was calling from outside the UK and hung up about a minute in. Their terms and conditions say you have a right to withdraw and get a refund minus any discounts you took advantage of and to send a pre-written statement to "an email address you can find in the prime section on their website". The whole help centre goes in loops and there's no email address, but somehow I found 3 different ones in different corners of the internet. I emailed them all and the only automatic response I got asked me to fill out a contact form on the eDreams website (sister company), which however didn't recognise my booking number because it's a different company and without one they just direct you to the generic help centre. I then got the chatbot to connect me to a real person who said they don't work in the refunds department and the only way to reach them is to call, which I had tried previously and failed. I would only get back to the UK more than 2 weeks after I had been charged and couldn't figure out how long the withdrawal period is. When I read all the negative reviews, I said goodbye to my £100, but as a last resort, I reported the transaction as fraud in Revolut and 2 hours later I had the money back in my account. If you want the free trial, use a single use virtual card to pay and if you lose any money, report them through your bank.

Das war der schlechteste Support ever. Wir hatten ein flexibles Ticket und wollten eine Änderung vornehmen. 6 Tage vor Flug. Die Dame im Support ändert nichts sondern leitet prinzipiell an die Fachabteilung weiter. Diese soll innerhalb von 48 Stunden antworten. Wir geben eine Telefonnummer an unter der wir ausschließlich zu erreichen sind. Der einmalige Anrufversuch geht an die falsche Nummer, Rückruf nicht möglich. Wieder Support, noch einmal exakt das gleiche. Das wiederholt sich mehrmals. Insgesamt haben wir 8 mal den Support kontaktieren müssen, bis 18 Stunden vor Abflug die Fachabteilung endlich die richtige Nummer anruft und uns erreicht. Das Gespräch dauert 58 Minuten (wir sind im außereuropäischen Ausland). Der freundliche Herr der Fachabteilung lässt uns per Kreditkarte 13€ Mehrkosten zahlen. Dann versucht er mehrmals den geänderten Flug für uns zu buchen. Schließlich erklärt er uns, er könne ihn nicht buchen, wir müssen das selbst über Opodo machen. Er bleibt in der Leitung. Mittlerweile, vermutlich durch seine mehrmaligen Anfragen ist der Flugpreis deutlich gestiegen. Anstelle der 13€ Mehrzahlung müssen wir einschließlich Gepäck jetzt 250€ mehr zahlen. Da wir aber inzwischen unter Zeitdruck sind, haben wir keine Möglichkeit Alternativen zu suchen und der Herr aus der Fachabteilung ist auch nicht hilfreich bei der Suche und sagt nur in seinem gebrochenen Deutsch: "nehmen Sie oder nicht nehmen". Im Nachhinein sehen wir, weniger Stunden später hätte es einen deutlich günstigeren Flug gegeben. Jedes Reisebüro bietet besseren Service. Es bleibt: NIE WIEDER OPOD0! Greift nicht zu Opodo, wenn ihr evtl.etwas ändern müsst! Ergänzung: Der Albtraum geht weiter: Wie beschrieben, obwohl es zunächst immer hieß, der Flug kann nur von der Fachabteilung geändert werden, sollten wir nun den geänderten Flug selbst auf der Opodo Seite buchen. Die Aussage des Herrn war, er würde den bisherigen , nicht mehr gewünschten Flug stornieren, wenn wir gebucht hätten. Wir bekämen dann das Geld zurück. Der Herr aus der Fachabteilung blieb in der Leitung, während wir dies taten und dabei jeweils auch äußerten, was wir eintragen. Er fragte mehrmals nach, ob wir nun schon gezahlt hätten und als dies dann geschehen war sagte er, er würde nun die Stornierung des alten Fluges mit Priorisierung veranlassen und wir bekämen baldmöglichst aber innerhalb von 30 Tagen die 300€ für den stornierten Flug zurück. Es bleibt unklar, welche Fachabteilung nun zuständig ist, den Flug zu stornieren, da er ja schon der Herr aus der Fachabteilung für Änderungen flexibler Flüge ist. Nach einigen Stunden dann die Ernüchterung: Wir bekommen diesmal per norespond Mail die Mitteilung: Es gibt kein Geld für den stornierten Flug zurück, da wir bei der Flugbuchung des neuen Fluges nur den 1. Vornamen angegeben haben. Dies ist von Seiten der Fluggesellschaft und von Seiten der Grenzbehörden völlig legitim. Niemand zweifelt deshalb an unserer Identität, nur Opodo nutzt es als Vorwand nicht zu zahlen. Wir nehmen also trotz der Kosten aus dem außereuropäischen Ausland nochmals telefonisch Kontakt zum Support auf. Die Dame hält uns, nach unserer Schilderung, wieder für längere Zeit in dér Leitung, um mit ihrem Chef zu sprechen. Dann gibt sie uns die Zusage der Chef werde sich innerhalb der nächsten 3 Tage per Mail bei mir melden. Dies ist nicht geschehen! Wir haben stattdessen wieder Anrufversuche von Opodo. Diese würden uns weiteres Geld kosten, sowohl ausgehende, als auch eingehende Anrufe kosten 99ct/min. Insgesamt hat uns der Flug nun bisher, anstelle der 234€, zu denen er alle 6 Tage zu buchen gewesen wäre, 823€ gekostet + ca. 100€ Telefonkosten + Gepäck, welches wir direkt bei der Fluggesellschaft selbst buchen mussten. ( 823€, davon 287€ nicht zurückgezahlter stornierten Flug, 13€ s.o.)

⚠️ Avoid Opodo – Total Scam ⚠️ I was scammed out of £89.99 after Opodo renewed my subscription without informing me, even though I had already cancelled it. They kept my bank details and charged me anyway. When I reached out, there was no proper support or resolution. This is unacceptable and feels like a deliberate way of trapping customers into paying for something they don’t want. Please avoid this company — they are not transparent and will take your money without consent.

Avoid OPODO – deceptive and unethical company. I booked a flight through Skyscanner and was unknowingly signed up for an “Opodo Prime” trial. A year later, without any clear warning or my consent, they automatically charged me €89.99. I never wanted this subscription, never used it, and immediately requested a refund. Their customer service refused multiple times, hiding behind unfair “terms and conditions.” This is not just poor service – it’s a deliberate trick to make money from unsuspecting customers. I am now escalating my case through the European Consumer Centre. Please save yourself the frustration – do NOT trust Opodo.

Opodo stole more than €550 from me in less than two weeks. – €89.99 for a so-called Prime trial, even though I had already used my trial in 2024 (they only informed me the next day, after charging me). – Another €89.99 taken automatically on the very day my trial ended, without giving me the chance to cancel, even though I was still within my 14-day legal withdrawal period. – €366 for a hotel booking that was never provided: the hotel itself confirmed they never received the reservation or the money. Since August 9th, I’ve been chasing Opodo for a refund. All I get are automated, misleading, and contradictory replies. My holidays were ruined. 👉 I will never stop until I get my money back. 👉 I will never book through Opodo again, and I strongly warn everyone: avoid this company at all costs.

Opodo had been charging me for yearly prime subscription without emailing me about it, and when I discovered from my bank statement I called them and the person who spoke to me was very unpolite when I asked him to refund me the money and then cut the line on me, I will report this to the police as I have the call recorded.

I booked a flight from the Philippines to the UK. Simple enough but, I also booked a round trip for my gf . Unfortunately her visa was refused so I had to cancel the flight. The round trip cost £998 and, they refunded me less than half of what I paid given that had almost 3 months to resell the seat. My girlfriends name appeared on the Opodo app and, my trip details were not accessible. To cut a long story short, I had to phone their customer service and, sort it out. Its just as well I had kept the email with their reference number. As of this moment, I am concerned that I might get turned away at the airport because, of this cockup. The customer service was okay even though she suggested, I wanted to cancel the flight? That was never case and, I have to leave the Philippines because, my tourist visa will expire.

OPODO IS THE WORST....AVIOD AT ALL COSTS I paid 3500 GBP for a business class ticket. I had to change it because of circumstances out of my control. I placed the requested change, and it said I had to pay 170 GBP. Fine, I accepted that. Then they sent an email that it was really 2000 GBP. And then for three days with multiple calls could not get anyone to take the payment, nor send the payment link. Finally they sent it. I used three different credit cards, and all of them were denied...they all work perfectly. Since no one processed the change, and after so many long distance calls, I could not get them to move ahead, the reservation fell. I did another change, and waited three days for a reply. Today they replied and the change is now 3200 Pounds. A total cost of 7000 pounds, when you go to BA site, it shows it for 4000 Pounds. I believe they do it on purpose to ripp people off. There is no email to write to them, the chat is useless, and the people on the phone are useless. DO NOT GET RIPPED OFF....AVOID THEM

I booked a flight and stay with them for four. They provided a wrong telephone number for the apartment so I wasn’t able to get the access login to enter. I contacted their customer service but they were unable to help us. We ended up booking another hotel. They won’t refund and take accountability of their mistakes. It is unsafe to book with them. Worst customer service ever. There was no assurance of investigation and escalation. I hope this review will help others NOT TO BOOK with Opodo. They are unreliable when things go wrong.

I bought a plane ticket through Oppdon, and a week later they charged an additional €89.90 to my card. Apparently, during the ticket purchase I was automatically registered for their Prime membership, but I never received any information about this and I wasn’t even aware of it. This is a huge scam. On top of that, they are impossible to reach — I tried calling them 16 times before anyone answered. AND IT’S NOT FREE!!! The phone call cost me €20, and it led nowhere. So be warned! They are scammers!

Beware of Opodo liers cheats Beware of Opodo they have no credibility and they try hard to take your money without providing any service. I had an experience with a woman who deceived us. We bought a ticket, the price was more expensive than the price of a ticket directly from the company, and we bought insurance. We wanted to change the travel time, but we were shocked by their truth and their lies to their customers. They returned to us 44 pounds out of 163 pounds, and this was after he lied to us in every detail and evaded returning our money under the pretext of a technical faul every time we call They lied to us and we couldn't travel and we canceled the trip

The worst travel agent. Terrible. I am overseas, and trying to change a business class flight. Its going to cost me some 2000 pounds to change, if I ever get to change it. Landline calls from here are super expensive. I have called 7 times...7 times!...working on this for three days....a couple of times the line went dead, and no one called back. Another time no one answered for over 15 minutes. Another couple of times they said I would get a call back to make the payment, and they didnt call back Once they sent the link and I used three different cards to make the payment and their site would not accept them. I still havent been able to make the change, I am still waiting for someone to call back. I probably will lose the ticket... THIS IS A COMPANY IS THE WORST....A COMPANY THAT DOSENT CARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!...AVOID IT
