Is there a window of time to purchase tix?

We need to go MRY to MSY in early Aug (4 or 5 Aug returing 8 Aug). I've been checking airfares from MRY/SJC/SFO to MSY/BTR/GPT with out finding anything very reasonable. It has seemed to me that usually fares (if there are unsold seats) dip a bit at about 6 wks out from date of flight... but today I'm reading about people finding deals our ot MSY for early July.

Is waiting a little longer advisable? $655 MRY to MSY econ seems very high to me.

Any suggestions appreciated. Thank you!

That's up to you. There is a possibility that waiting a bit longer will allow you to snag some lower prices, but if the lower fare buckets are sold out, I suppose you may only see prices go up
