opodo.co.uk
Opodo.co.uk is the UK arm of the European online travel agency Opodo, focused on searching and booking flights, hotels and package holidays. The site aggregates multiple airlines (including low-cost carriers), offers hotel and car hire options, and displays multi-airline itineraries in one checkout.
Key strengths
How it works
Flights and fares
Opodo specialises in flight search across many carriers, including low-cost airlines. The booking flow shows fare rules, baggage options and any carrier-imposed fees before checkout. You can mix airlines on return journeys and use flexible-date search to compare prices across nearby days. Note: many fares are non-refundable and changes often incur airline or Opodo service fees.
Hotels & packages
Hotel listings on Opodo include chain properties and independent stays with user ratings, photos and cancellation terms. Packages combine flights with hotels (and sometimes car hire) to present a single price and itinerary. Package bookings can simplify refunds and changes but are governed by the supplier’s policy, so check cancellation and prepayment requirements before confirming.
Extras & support
Opodo sells add-ons such as car hire, airport transfers and travel insurance at checkout. After booking you receive e-tickets and booking confirmations by email and can manage reservations online via My Trips. Customer support is available through an online help centre and phone lines, but third-party supplier issues (airlines/hotels) may require dealing directly with the provider.
