Travel Tools: A look at "Hopper" for airfare tracking

As with any travel planning, the cost of airfare can dictate whether a destination is doable or too expensive.  As a family of four, I need to contend with the price of 4 tickets.  A $300 ticket quickly equates into a $1200 bill.  If you travel, you understand that the price of airline tickets vary daily and can change multiple times per day.  Having to keep checking the cost of flights quickly becomes a burden.  Enter "Hopper".  Hopper is a fairly new app that I have been using for a few months now.  You enter in the origin, destination and departure date and return date.  Hopper than asks if you would like to track the flight.  It gives you predictions on whether the fare will rise or fall and will make a recommendation to purchase it now or wait.  You can track multiple trips at once so it is a very handy tool.  For example, if I want to travel during Christmas week but I am flexible with my destinations, I can enter in Hopper various destinations.  Hopper will keep track and alert me of changes in airfare.  If one of my destinations becomes very affordable, I can book that fare and begin the process of finding accommodations. 

I definitely recommend taking a look at Hopper. It is available on both the Apple App Store and Google Play.
