“The ‘rules’ of travel evolve as travel itself evolves,” said Liana Corwin, Hopper's resident consumer travel expert. “Not only are there more options for consumers, such as low cost carriers in an increasing number of markets and new fare classes like basic economy, but there is also much more transparency around flight pricing that previously didn't exist before.”
That transparency is helping debunk commonly held travel myths, which, according to Hopper, could be holding you back from saving almost $300 on spring flights in 2019.
