There are tons of apps that are able to help you find and book the best flight price at any given moment, but the newly launched Hopper app goes above and beyond. By integrating predictive technology, the app considers what's currently available, as well as what flight prices are likely to drop in the near future. For instance, Hopper notes the lowest currently available airline ticket and makes notes like "You should wait for a better price, but book before February 3rd," and indicates how much money could be saved on average just by waiting for a different day to book a flight.
In order to keep travelers as up to date as possible, the app uses notifications to indicate when the prices of flights will drop, as well as when they are expected to rise.
