Time to Book JFK-LHR
I was looking to buy RT tickets JFK-LHR for this November.
Should have bought them 3 weeks ago (I love VS and was waiting, hoping, that situation would sort itself. If there is an airline that needs to be saved, VS is it).
Ticket prices have now spiked (about 30% higher)
Wondering what the consensus is, buy now or hold off and wait?

Honestly, I was more thinking about price, better now, or wait. I can book and cancel/change that's not an issue.
It's going to get better and I think sooner than later.
It's gotta get better quickly or the world is going to be a very different and a very, very bleak place.

Large enterprises are what keep air carriers afloat. Even if there is a 100% effective vaccine developed and delivered worldwide today, many estimate that it will take 18-24 months for other than absolutely essential travel to recover in a meaningful way.

For everything other than Thanksgiving, November is about as low season as you can get. Even in pre-COVID days you could get ridiculously low fares for late autumn.
Wait for more clarity and for the fares to drop.
