Opodo said in response: “Comparing the experience of a newly made booking at its first interaction with one involving multiple previous contacts naturally reflects different experiences. Our AI-driven system recognises the ongoing needs of our customers and prioritises accordingly the most effective assistance and escalation paths. This approach is not disingenuous and is designed to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of our customer service."

The chat gives information to customers and guides them. We take into consideration customer feedback and that is the reason why we gave autonomy to our customers through MyArea."
