Flight listed on Opodo but not airline's own site

Is this normal, should I be worried about booking?

I'm in the middle of booking my boyfriends flight to New Zealand (YAY!) And the I found a flight on the 25th July with Korean Air but when I went to their website to check that it wasn't cheaper, Munich wasn't even an departure option. We found the same flight on 3 different booking websites but now I'm worried about booking it in case it doesn't exist. Has anyone had this happen before?

Opodo is reliable. If they say it exist, it probably is true. I book 1 or 2 flights a month with Opodo and am quite satisfied.

Opodo like many other consolidators block reserve tickets with the airlines at discount prices which the (hope to) resell to their own customers at a mark-up. This means the same tickets may not available to visitors to the originating airline if they've sold the rest of their seats. Opodo have deals to dump their tickets back onto the market if their is a danger of their allocation not being sold prior to departure. Sometimes even the airlines take them back into open circulation.

Oh one more question, the korean website didn't even list munich as a departure airport, would they be using a different airlines route maybe??

all the details will be on opodo if you take the trouble to look properly. it may be a codeshare.

It's in german. Normally it says if you are flying with another airline part of the way, it doesn't say anything like that.

Oh, the alliterative perils of poor punctuation - you just agreed with yourself!

BlaBlaBla I'm going to mock someone because their grammer isn't perfect. Cool dude.

Booked the flight, now to hope he turns up to me at the other end smile.gif

I'm not mocking you at all, just pointing out the rather clever phrase that you wrote, possibly without realising it. Maybe a good mocking was more deserved.

Awesome thanks

It's funny how attitudes change, usually as a result of simple ignorance.

Nop sorry, my grammer is too bad to get it tongue.gif Not being sarcastic, it's frightful.
