Appearing live in-studio on TODAY earlier this morning, Hayley Berg, lead economist at Hopper, shared her "5 Things I Would Never Do" when booking air travel! Her biggest tip? She would never fly without Disruption Assistance. “During the summer, we see 60% more delays and cancellations…at booking, I add a Disruption Assistance plan so I have real-time options if I am delayed or canceled, I sign up for alerts from my airline, and I know what other flights are going to my destination.” Check out the full segment below:

We’re thrilled to announce that HTS will be partnering with the leading Korean credit card issuer, Lotte Card Co, Ltd., to create a differentiated travel booking portal for millions of travelers.

This Earth Day, we are proud to celebrate the steps we’ve taken through our Hopper Trees program. To date, we have planted over 35 million trees on behalf of our customers since the program's launch in 2020. 🌳 🌎 Despite the many positive social and economic advances that come from travel, the impact on our planet remains top of mind for us at Hopper. Here are some simple tips on how to lower your environmental impact while traveling this spring & summer: 🛫 Fly direct! Booking a non-stop flight to summer destinations can save both time and lower the environmental impact of your air travel! 🏨 Make it a Staycation! Hotels and vacation rentals often offer lower rates to local guests. Save more on your next trip and reduce the impact on the environment by staying local. 🚘 Carpool! Consider skipping lines at security and opting for a scenic road trip to your destination. Carpooling with friends and family can lower the impact of your individual travel and lead to amazing summer adventures. 🌳 Book with Hopper! We’ll plant 2 trees for any flight, hotel, rental car or rental home booking you make. Check out more about Hopper Trees here: https://lnkd.in/ejPY3HVK
