You can book up to around 11-12 months before departure, depending on how you book and which airlines you want to include (AA only has flights loaded 331 days out, other airlines such as BA and QF load flights a year ahead). You have one year from the first flight until the last flight. So if you want to fly in 2021, you could buy your tickets in 2020, or if you want you could buy a ticket now for a first flight in 2020 (up to around October-November) and have the rest of your flights in 2021.
