THERE’S AN APP FOR THAT! By Yoli Bazan When I heard that the 45th Annual NADOA Institute would be in Nashville in 2018, the first thing I did was get on my phone to turn on my Hopper App to watch flights from Houston to Nashville. Take it from a self-proclaimed thrifty traveler that you can and will save money using the Hopper App. You are probably asking yourself, what is Hopper? The Hopper app for Android and iOS is an app that notifies you when it’s the cheapest time to fly and buy. Hopper app is designed to help travelers plan their travel for less. The instructions from the Hopper app website are as follows: “First, search for a trip by tapping dates on the color-coded calendar. Then, get Hopper’s prediction about when your flight will be cheapest. We’ll recommend whether you should wait or book. If we say WAIT, tap the binoculars to watch. Hopper will keep an eye on that trip for you and send you notifications the instant prices drop. If Hopper says BUY, choose your flights and book.” Example below from Houston to Nashville: IMPORTANT TO NOTE....I primarily use the app for its instant notifications and book directly with my airline of choice. I like the idea of working directly with my carrier so that I can garner additional frequent flyer points. As a frugal traveler, I am always looking for ways to get more for less. Hope you find this information useful and expect to see you all in Nashville in 2018.
