3 and a half weeks before we travel - book now or a week before

Hi,
I have never left it so late to book a holiday! Really need some advice we're looking to travel on or around 29th April (slightly flexible on dates) for 7-10 nights, thinking of going to Egypt just looking for a week of sunshine. My question is as above - should we book now or literally wait until the week before to get the best price?
Any advice would be well appreciated

they are not likely to tell you the opposite:D
Having said that Op it depends what you are prepared to pay and if you want to be specific about where you are going.
If you wait you may have to pay more to go somehwere you wouldnt choose IYSWIM0 -
It all depends on demand, if your flights are filling up fast then they put them up, were looking for may, and since yesterday out flight price had gone up 75 each as they were 12 seats now only 32013-Swag bucks £10 Qmee £2.17 App Trailers 1.23 not a huge amount but better than nothing0

Hi blackburn_w where are you looking to go?0

Leaving it even this late to book, unless a situation to go lands out of nowhere, seems a needless gamble to me.0

Yeah I definitely agree Delree we have never left it so late to book. We weren't sure whether we would go away or not literally until Monday.0
