When booking flights you will find that booking early gives you the best prices. Most flight details are available on-line 8 months before departure, therefore, I would recommend you look to book your scheduled flights within that time scale. When looking at Charter Holiday flights the best deals can be found by leaving it to within 6 weeks before your desired departure date, unless you are looking to travel at peak times, such as school holidays or bank holidays, when availability could be in short supply.
