people who fly frequently...
When do you usually book your flights? My most recent flights have all been for work, and I just book whatever is available once I know I need to go. We flew to Disney last year and got great prices the day the flights were released on Southwest.
Now I'm looking for our vacation coming up in August, it will be 4 of us flying to Montana....and wowza the flights aren't cheap!!
@-)When is an ideal time to book? I'm so nervous that I'm going to miss some window of opportunity and the prices will skyrocket even more...yet, I don't want to pull the trigger then regret it when I see prices drop. Decisions, decisions.

Says most people but domestic flights only a month out!!
I'm pretty sure if you book on southwest and flight prices go down, there is no change fee so you can rebook at the lower rate.
ETA: I always book way in advance but I am flying to see my sister in Orlando 95% of the time so I know when the rate is the best it is going to get.

I find that Sunday is usually the cheapest day to fly. Tuesday evening is supposed to be the cheapest time to buy but I normally would still see the same price Wed morning that was listed on Tuesday evening.
For personal travel I use kayak.com and set up alerts for rate changes on my travel dates. That way I don't need to monitor it myself, I just get automated updates.
I saw something yesterday that said 6 weeks prior to your trip on a Tuesday at 3:00 p.m.!
ETA: sorry that sounds short and kind of b!tchy. I had to do something for work and jump offline quickly. Lol!
