How does buying a ticket on Hopper work?

Think of Hopper as a flight price search engine: it pulls in flight pricing from all the airlines to show you which has the cheapest fares. When you book with Hopper, you're not booking directly with the airline: Hopper is an online travel agency like Kayak, Expedia, Priceline, and many others.
