Color coded dates do not reflect travel costs. If you select arrival and departure dates coded as green, the actual cost is much higher than what the color represents. Now Im curious if the program is even accurate. I may need to research...
Update:
Compared flight prices with Kayak for same dates and routes. Used the green and orange hopper date colors for comparison (date 1= green dates, date 2 = orange dates). Prices follow:
Date 1:
Hopper $732
Kayak $680
Date 2:
Hopper $700
Kayak $659
*Advisory*
The algorithm used to anticipate price increases or drops is very unreliable in my observation. After closely following two routes for 6 months with this program, I can confidently say hopper did not at any point accurately forecast ticket price increases/drops. *you should not make purchase decisions based on forecasted ticket prices as the algorithm used offers low confidence and often unreliable forecasts*
