No guarantee on price drops: While Hopper is pretty darn good at predicting when flight prices will drop, there's no guarantee that they actually will.

With Cancel For Any Reason by Hopper, you'll have the ultimate flexibility for your trip! Cancel For Any Reason allows you to cancel your hotel reservation for any reason up until check-in time. If you cancel you'll get 100% of your base room rate and taxes back. No forms or claims required!
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.
You choose between a full or partial refund of your base fare and taxes in the form of a cash refund or, if available, a full airline travel credit (with all cancellation or rebooking fees waived). You can cancel instantly right in the Hopper app with no need to talk to customer support or the airline!
The fare rules are at the discretion of the airline, and Hopper is obliged to follow them. A refund can only be processed if the airline authorizes the return. Your confirmation email will list the fare rules (cancellation & changes) eligibility nearing the bottom of the page.
By combining billions of pieces of historical flight-price data from across the web with advanced price-prediction algorithms for the future, the Hopper App is unrivaled in its ability to pinpoint the best time to click that buy button (in fact, our Price Prediction feature gets it right an estimated 95% of the time!).
