In my last column for Men’s Journal on the latest indispensible travel apps<\/a>, I didn’t have the space to mention one app I recently came across. Called Hopper<\/a>, the app analyzes data to tell you when is the best time to purchase tickets for a particular flight. For example, I just looked into a flight to Croatia and it told me that there’s no rush to purchase the flight in late April. In fact, they told me the price might drop in the next couple weeks. We shall see. In a recent press release by the American Society of Travel Agents (ASTA), they mentioned that booking a flight on Friday, not the weekend, is when rates are usually the cheapest. Also, George Hobica, the founder of Airfarewatchdog.com<\/a>, recently noted in a New York Times<\/em> story that Google Flight Search<\/a> is “by far the best way to find a low airfare.” Use all these strategies the next time you book a flight. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
