The new Hopper app can save travelers up to 40% on their flights with its expert advice and real-time airfare alerts.

In 2026, the travel app Hopper claims to save users an average of $65 per trip on flights and roughly $45 per night on hotel bookings. The app's primary value comes from its "Price Prediction" algorithm, which scours billions of historical data points to advise users whether to "Buy Now" or "Wait" for a price drop. Hopper claims a 95% accuracy rate for its predictions. A high-value feature in 2026 is the "Price Freeze" option; for a small non-refundable fee, you can "lock in" a flight price for up to 14 days, with Hopper paying the difference if the price rises. While savings vary drastically—sometimes reaching up to 40% for international "bucket list" trips—the most consistent "savings" are found by travelers with flexible dates who use the app's color-coded calendar to identify the cheapest departure windows months in advance, effectively avoiding the "surge" pricing common in last-minute bookings.
