1. [R2] CheapOair 5/5 · US Flights: They’re good for booking. I didn’t realize that you had to pay for baggage.
2. [R66] Hopper 3/5 · US It’s good but not great: TLDR: It cost me over 300+ dollars telling me the flight would go down when in reality it skyrocketed to almost 1000/pp It seemed like hopper was perfect to view multiple flights across multiple airlines, Compare prices, and even have the option to watch flights and Hopper would notify you when the price gets better. I thought 700/pp was a bit steep from NY->Turks so I wa
3. [R68] Hopper 5/5 · US Excellent resource: My flight was cheaper through Hopper than direct from the airline. I also received a a refund for the flight due to a flight interruption that caused a long delay at the airport. Hopper actually notified me that they were aware of the delay and offered me a refund. I didn’t have to do anything but agree to accept the refund.
4. [R118] Hopper 5/5 · US Great at Watching Flights: This is a good app. I like the fact that it watches flight and hotel prices and let you know if they predict higher or lower prices.
5. [R15] CheapOair 5/5 · US Love it!: Very easy to use!
6. [R75] Hopper 3/5 · GB One of the best and worst apps: Although they have good prices and easy booking, there are a lot of app errors. Including the fact that I searched up the date in April to book a hotel however , it gave me the date for march once I paid for everything. I looked at the date and was so angry at this app. I originally wanted April but got march. How is that even possible? I contacted support where
7. [R110] Hopper 5/5 · US User friendly!: Great app with features that help save money!
8. [R4] CheapOair 1/5 · US Horrible liars: They are liars and a horrible company that will steal your money. I ordered my tickets online through them. Then I received an email stating for security reasons I needed to contact them regarding payment. The lady proceeded to tell me when I called that they could not honor the tickets for that price but if I changed the dates I could have them for that price. I told her no that I
9. [R22] CheapOair 1/5 · US Cancellation without notice: It is ridiculous that neither Cheapoair nor the airline provided any email or text notification regarding changes or cancellations to an international flight. There is no reasonable excuse for travelers to discover that their flight has been changed or canceled only after arriving at the airport or reaching the gate. When customers book international travel, timely co
10. [R61] Hopper 1/5 · US Horrible: ***In 2026 PLEASE PROCEED WITH EXTREME CAUTION*** Never left a review for an app before but this one is BEYOND horrible. I don’t care how many positive reviews it has, the world has changed and this app is terrible. I’ve used it for two international flights and been absolutely steered wrong both times. I check it every day and the app says “Wait” to book my saved flight. I watched wh
11. [R3] CheapOair 3/5 · US Cheapo air: I have been looking for flights for quite some time. All of them had nine and 10 hour layover and tried to charge me $800 for a round-trip. Cheapo air got my tickets for $560. And a three hour layover. I seen 24 hour layovers on the tickets. I tried to buy from other companies. Thank you cheap o air
12. [R67] Hopper 1/5 · US False advertising: Double check if you book with them as the fare I purchased stated that it included a carry-on bag, but when I receive my itinerary from the airline, it did not include a carry-on bag and when I contacted Hopper, they told me to call the airline and when I contacted the airline, they told me that it doesn’t include a bag and then I need to purchase it additionally and when contac
13. [R84] Hopper 5/5 · US Always great prices: Lovvv it
14. [R10] CheapOair 1/5 · US Lier Agent ripped me off: Rating: 1 Star (Zero Stars if I Could) This was, without question, one of the worst customer service experiences I’ve ever had. I specifically asked the CheapOair agent how much checked baggage would cost before I purchased my ticket. I was told $70, $80 per bag. That information turned out to be completely wrong. When I arrived at the airport, I was charged $200 per ba
15. [R44] CheapOair 1/5 · US This is terrible service.: This is terrible service. I bought a ticket and canceled it within 24 hours, but they still charged me a cancellation fee even though the website clearly states that cancellations are free. Their customer support is also very slow and unhelpful. People should think carefully before buying tickets from their website.
16. [R73] Hopper 1/5 · US Hoppers terrible customer service: I had an absolutely terrible experience with Hopper. I booked a Le Mans Suite at the Paris Hotel in Las Vegas, but when we arrived, Hooper booked the wrong room. It was just a regular 2 queen room. After over an hour on the phone with their agents, constantly being put on hold (often 10 to 20 minutes at a time), even though the agent said 3-5 minutes. they kept
17. [R79] Hopper 1/5 · US Customer service sucks: Not good customer service
18. [R77] Hopper 5/5 · US Travel buddys best friend: Hopper has been my go to when booking flights, hotels, and car rentals. I always feel like I’m getting the best deal, and customer support is also helpful if any issues arise. Absolutely recommend!
