Just wondered if anyone has experience booking flight & hotel packages through Opodo? I've stumbled on what looks to be an amazing deal :)

In a nutshell we want to fly direct LGW - RAK in BA Club Europe and are after staying in a five star hotel (with good reviews on Tripadvisor) Here goes:-

Ex LGW 4/5, returning 7/5 in BA Club Europe, staying at Hotel Medina & Spa. Opodo total price for hotel & flight for 2 people = £1,012.80 incl. taxes

BA comes nowhere near, the flight alone = £2,337.80!
Expedia, again just for the flight comes in at £2,347.80!

So for a little over £500 per person on Opodo we get Club Europe & 5* hotel. I've checked the fare conditions (Opodo show the fare booking classes very clearly along with link to full conditions) and this fare is Booking Class D and lists the "airline contract" as GB Airways Spring Offer.

I'm sorely tempted to book, unless anyone has any horror stories on either Opodo or the hotel in question (which has rave reviews on Tripadvisor)

Cheers

James

Check that it IS in Club Europe.

If you want a horror story - try this one on ft [:0]. Having said that, if it is genuine, it sounds like a great deal [y]

Thanks Paul, have run the same search again just to make sure and it still throws up the same low price. Have double checked the fare rules which clearly state business class. I've pasted the blurb below.

Cheers
