Advice on when to book
Hi all,
Just looking for some general advice on when to book a flight. The flight will not take place until the middle of August, so still far away, but the prices have already gone up, albeit a small amount. No one has booked a seat on the flight yet, and I am torn between booking now or waiting and hoping the price goes down since there are no bookings? Any advice?
Thanks in advance!

If you're booking for the one of the locations and/or weekend just before the solar eclipse occurring Mon Aug 21, then I would say book now. Airlines are already raising prices due to perceived demand. I have booked my tickets already (booked them three weeks ago), and the prices have all risen since then.
