The Hopper app is a flight and hotel booking tool that helps you find the best prices, including making predictions about when to buy to get the best deal. Capital One is leading a $170 million funding round for Hopper, and partnering with them to launch a new travel portal for cardmembers.

Hopper unveiled new ‘secret fares’ today that are provided by airlines and lower than what carriers offer customers on their own websites.
They’re touting fares up to 35% off and savings of up to $500 per ticket, with deals available “on over 60,000 routes to international destinations like Tokyo, Melbourne, Paris, Barcelona, Rio De Janeiro, and Costa Rica.”
