I’d use an OTA if it saved hundreds – which does sometimes happen – but not to save small amounts. All the cautions above apply.
I’d prefer to deal with a UK entity that can be sued. Getting a refund from opodo/edreams was a saga of some length and complexity.
I like BAH. Call centre have been good for me, the deposit upfront terms are useful, and their booking engine has thrown up useful and unusual routes before. TCB paid out OK on my last one. Missed a connecting flight due to irrops and got rebooked by BAH direct on a competitor without asking.
