You will then have the option to book right in the app. “Since Hopper launched, our data-science team has collected a huge historical archive of trillions of flight prices. We analyze that data to share with our users through insightful predictions that consistently perform with 95% accuracy,” Hopper explains.

If you are stick in a jam and unable to communicate with the locals, just take out your phone and let Google Translate properly get your message across.
