Hopper is a Better Way to Ensure a Cheap Flight

photo hopper-is-a-better-way-to-ensure-a-cheap-flight.pngBooking a flight can be simple for some, but it can be a long and arduous process for those seeking the best price.  Choosing between numerous airlines while prices rise and fall unpredictably can be quite stressful.  Many end up regretting that they did not either book sooner or have the patience to wait until prices dropped.  For these people there is Hopper, an app that can help them find the best time to fly and the best time to buy.  The app analyzes billions of flight prices daily to predict how prices will change, which is not a new concept, but Hopper has been developing its own price prediction technology in order to focus on helping users get the best flight deals with better speed and precision.

Consumers often miss the chance to get a lower fare because they only spot-check for changes but with Hopper, you can monitor a particular route continuously using its “Watch a Trip” feature, which gives you a better chance to find the best fare. When the fare drops, Hopper will alert you via a push notification, which adds an element competitors do not by notifying you if the price is not likely to fall further. Not only that, but the app can notify you if fares are about to increase as well as decrease.  The app has a clean design that is fast and easy to navigate, featuring mobile tech support exclusively for iOS devices.  It works for finding the flight you want, letting you book it through the app or secondhand through services like Orbitz, Travelocity, or an airline’s website.

Hopper uses your location to suggest nearby airports or, alternatively, you can enter one yourself.  After you select a departure point and destination, the app offers a quick summary of pricing at the top of the results screen.  Below that, the “When To Fly” feature displays a color-coded calendar view that provides an easy visual of the best times to fly to save the most money, and this can help you find cheaper airports as well as flights. You can select exact dates to find out airfares, moving from the “Dates” tab to the “Prediction” tab.  Hopper will inform you if there are better deals available at other departure and arrival airports or cheaper flights on other days.  Because Hopper is only available for iOS, you will need computer support from a company that can work with mobile devices in order to make the best use of its service.

Hopper informs you of good and bad flight choices based on several factors including the length of the flight, number of connections, departure time, and others.  You can watch a flight to receive notifications when the price drops and before Hopper thinks the price will begin to go back up, and Hopper offers helpful feedback as you select your flights, offering better alternatives.  With all of its useful features, Hopper may be the only tool you need to find the best flight anytime.
