Best time to book travel to the Olympics?

I'm going to the Olympics next year from IAH to London Heathrow and was wondering if anyone has any insight as to what would be the best time to book a flight? I plan on flying Continental and right now I can get a round trip non stop flight around $1200 on the dates I want to travel but should I book now or wait a couple of months to see if rates will go down? Any help is greatly appreciated.

I doubt it. Airfare to get to the Olympics will be in high demand so there's little reason for airlines to lower the price. If you're seeing tickets at a price you're willing to pay, go ahead and get them.

Completely agree with this. Flights will get more and more expensive as the games draw near (as will hotel rooms, I would book them asap too). There is going to be more demand than space for flights, so get in early to be sure.
