Omio

Omio is a multi-modal travel platform that enables users to compare and book trains, buses, flights and ferries in one place. The company, founded in Germany and now operating globally, aggregates inventory from hundreds of transport operators across Europe, North America and Canada. It presents simplified route options, mobile tickets and live journey updates to help travellers manage complex trips and compare alternatives.

On the positive side, Omio’s strength lies in covering diverse transport modes (not just flights) and global reach, making it convenient for travellers who want to consider e.g. a bus or train instead of a short flight, or mix modes in one itinerary. The mobile app is available for iOS and Android and supports many currencies and payment methods.

On the caution side, some users report that although Omio is legitimate and the tickets work, the platform does not always find the absolute cheapest option for each route, especially when multiple transfers or less-common operators are involved. Also, as with many aggregators, changes or cancellations may be subject to partner operator policies rather than a unified “Omio policy” so travellers should always check the fine print.

In summary, for Canadian travellers (and beyond) who value flexibility, mode-choice and the convenience of one-stop search across transport types, Omio is a very useful tool. If you primarily fly direct and care more about ultra-lowest fares or highly flexible support, it’s wise to compare airline or operator direct channels as well.
