I'm not sure. My guess is that at the moment airlines' bullishness about how much they can charge for seats may be beginning to subside.
I believe a lot of the pent-up demand for long-haul travel has already been met; and I think now, many people, me included, are feeling less optimistic about prospects for the global economy than they have for years.
My view is that we'll see much more attractive pricing from mid-December, so I'm not booking anything for the first half of next year until then.
