I have to fly out to my best friends wedding in July, which is an expensive time to travel to that area. Hopper predicted that prices would drop so I held off on purchasing the tickets. Low and behold, a few weeks later Hopper sent me a notification that the price had dropped nearly half price! It said it was the lowest price its seen for seven months! Not only that, but these round-trip tickets are direct flights in comparison to the ones twice the price with multiple stops. I think I paid a $5 commission fee; totally reasonable considering the amount of money they saved me.
Note for fellow Canadians: charges are in American currency. Every Canadian bank/credit card charges at least a 2.5% conversion rate on top of the exchange rate, so be prepared for that. Hopper will give you an estimate of what the exchange will be but its their best guess, what youll pay depends on your banks current exchange rate and whatever their additional fees are for charging foreign currency to your Canadian dollar account. Hopefully one day Hopper will be able to process the exchange over their servers so Canadians can pay in Canadian dollars and avoid all those nasty banking fees. Then Id give it a 5/5, hands down.
Canadian banks do offer American currency credit cards, so that may be a good alternative for some of you out there.
