How long do you wait for a flight to get cheaper before you book it?

I hate to book it, and it goes down.

 

I'm planning my big trip for 2010, but flights are so high.

When in 2010?  October? No  March? Maybe

Also, as much as I hate Bing, they do have a little thing that tell you if they think the flight is a good buy or not depending on the rate trend.  I'm sure it's not foolproof but I think it is better than a Magic 8 ball.

It depends on the time of the year. If I know it's a peak travel time to a popular vacation destination, then I book it. I don't think those flights generally get cheaper.

Maybe Wifezzilla will weigh in.

Also, some sites will give you the lower price if you book now and then see the fare drop more than $25.

I don't think it's going to get much cheaper. It's at the end of Sept, and has been having of price difference of about $80 for the past month.

It depends on where I'm going/for how long/blah, blah, blah. I'm booking in two weeks for a June flight to PR. The prices haven't changed since I started looking 6 weeks ago.
