Prices fluctuate all the time - here's a Google Flights tracker of a ticket I am waiting to buy.

However, given that your flight is apparently departing in less than 4 weeks, it would appear likely that the only fluctuations on your tickets will be upwards [in general, the sooner departure is, the higher the prices are. People with flexibility can move to other dates/routes to obtain later prices - people who *must* travel can therefore be charged higher prices as the date of departure looms. The cheapest tickest often have advance purchase restrictions, and the longer you wait, the more such cheap tickets disappear, either because the seats sell out, or because the departure date is too close for that fare to still be offered]. That said, it can't be ruled out that prices may come down again, however briefly.

My advice would be to use skyscanner, kayak, momondo or any other similar price comparison tool, and find the cheapest vendor of the ticket (many OTAs will probably offer the same flights for a little cheaper than going directly to the airline(s))
