It is currently unclear how Hopper users are targeted for Secret Fare offers, which domestic departure cities are able to receive Secret Fare offers, which destinations are most likely to have Secret Fares, and how long it takes to receive a Secret Fare offer via push notification. The process of purchasing a Secret Fare ticket would be the same as purchasing a regular-priced ticket on Hopper: users will know the airline, departure and arrival times, etc. This feature currently only applies to international destinations. Hopper lists some of the international destinations included in the feature: Tokyo, Melbourne, Paris, Barcelona, Rio De Janeiro, and Costa Rica. Hopper says it is releasing Secret Fares on 60,000 routes. Hopper states: “By offering Secret Fares on Hopper, airlines are able to reach a valuable audience via a private communication channel and secure bookings months ahead of departure.” Hopper says Secret Fares will be private offers that can be hundreds of dollars cheaper than the public listed price for a flight. However, this new feature, Secret Fares, would now send a private “Secret Fare” offer to users who search a route they are interested in. The prices Hopper offers are the publicly listed prices: what Hopper refers to in the press release as “public discounting”. You can book the lowest price through Hopper, just like you would through Priceline or any other flight booking site or app. Hopper provides information on typical flight prices over time, predicts increases and decreases in flight cost, recommends the best time to purchase, and notifies users when prices for their flights are at their predicted lowest points via push notification on your smartphone.Īccording to a Hopper press release on May 2nd, Hopper has been beta-testing and just recently launched Secret Fares. Currently, Hopper fares are based on current airline prices. If you are not familiar with Hopper, it is a service that uses historical data to predict and analyze flight prices.
Last week, the mobile app Hopper released a new feature in which they have branded secret fares. For more information check out our Advertising Disclosure.
