How far in advance to book?
Hello, Ive read a few posts on US sites talking about airlines starting to manage their ticket prices about three and a half months out. I wondered what other peoples experiences were of the best time to buy?I am looking at mid July to LHR returning NZ at xmas. Thanks for your input, Paul

the specials from AirNZ are a bit random... but given its Olympics in July, I think that 3 months out would be a bit tight.. seems your dates are at 'peak' you should just book when you see average prices....
