Travel app Hopper to pay $35 million to settle FTC fee allegations
Responsible attorney: Lou Schwartz, Schwartz & Associates, PC, Atlanta, Georgia. intake@snalawyers.com
Hopper agreed to pay $35 million for consumer redress to settle an FTC complaint alleging that it charged pre-selected tip and VIP Support fees without consumers' consent and misrepresented its VIP Support and Price Freeze products. The court entered the stipulated order on August 20, 2026.
Why it matters. The case targets pre-checked add-on fees and incomplete price disclosure, conduct that also appears in private consumer class actions.
