When to buy flights?
Sorry if this has already been discussed but i had a look and cant find it anywhere. Me, my husband and my 2 children are off to USA in march 2010. I have had a look at the flights and prices. Is it better to book early (now) or nearer the time? Are they likely to go up or down in price if left? Thank you in advance
