Best time to book Feb flight from LHR-YYZ
Hi everyone,
First time poster, long time lurker in this very helpful forum. I used to be really good at predicting when to get the best prices for flights on AC (LHR to YYZ). Now the prices seem to jump around a fair bit and I haven't noticed a consistent pattern in terms of "special offers". Don't even get me started on the promo codes that can't be used outside of Canada.
I will be booking a flight for 2 from Feb 5-12 (LHR-YYZ). Dates are fixed. Two weeks ago the single price fare was £485 all in (cheapest economy). This week it's gone up to £505.
My question is do I suck it up and pay the £505 now in case it goes up again or should I wait. Hopefully someone has a crystal ball out there!
Thanks again
Barbara

Having done this route many times over the last 18 months, I have found that, outside the summer, it has not tended to go much above £500 even a week or so out, but I would be very surprised if it went down again (I certainly have never gained from waiting).
