New App helps you get best air prices

Travel research company www.hopper.com runs an app that predicts the best time to book a flight and notifies users when to strike. Hopper analyzed airfare trends for this summer travel season and came up with several insights that could keep more money in your pocket:

•Book early: Hopper predicts average flight prices will rise nearly 10 percent over the next six weeks as summer vacations get into full swing. And of course, flight prices typically rise sharply in the month before departure.

•Cheapest weeks: The cheapest weeks to travel are early and late summer, namely the first week of June or after mid-August, according to Hopper.

•Travel mid-week: Flying on a Tuesday or Wednesday can save you about $40, on average, according to the site.
