Flights-March 11.. book now or wait?

Hi, we (my hubby and I) are going to Malaga in March 2011 - accomodation is booked. Is it cheaper to book flights now or wait until closer to the time?

Any advice welcome :o)

    The only flights likely to reduce by any significance are Ryanairs. Even then only if they aren't selling well for a particular date.If I see a price I like I book there and then.

    Just had a quick look at flight prices for March 2011 and I can't imagine them getting any cheaper as budgetflyer says.

    They are reasonably priced (I looked at Monarch flying out of London) and I would be tempted to book soon.

  • That's great, thank you to both for your advice. I will book today so I know it's all done. :j
  • And the one other piece of advice I can give you from personal experience is: once you have booked your flights, don't be tempted to look later to see whether the price has gone down!
