Just checked ours we booked last month, gone up from £340pp to £480pp. Always nice to see them rise after you have bought. On the flip side our cruise has come down, had to cancel and rebook, even after losing the deposit we are still £250 better off.I'd track your flights prices via Skyscanner and Google Flights but ultimately sometimes its pure luck
Just checked the flights I booked yesterday for £2500 are now £4250 a day later
You also better looking early in morning or late in evening... Prices do fluctuate when more people are searching on the same dates
I finally booked my flights yesterday...
£2500 for 3 Adults 1 Child flying with British Airways from Gatwick to Orlando (direct) 10th August till 31st August
Its a gamble waiting as flight prices go up and down on an hourly and daily basis
All depends on time of year, Is it school hols? Are you willing to be very flexible?
We have done 1 or 2 last minute but no great savings. Best deals tend to be with Tui, scheduled airlines seem to go up last minute. We also tried to do last minute one Xmas, ended up staying at home, no flights left unless paying a fortune.
Booking in advance and finding a deal is best way for us, this year flying direct to Washington, direct back from Miami, £340pp incl luggage and seat selection, not bad for Virgin flights.

I like to use the Hopper app. You can enter your destination and dates and it'll continuously scan and let you know when the prices typically lower or if now is the right time to buy.
I have never seen anything super last minute but once it gets down to 7/6 weeks away from travel there is some excellent bargains if you are looking at dates outside of school holiday
Anything in school holidays you are best looking at sales in advance
Schools break up really early this year( ours is 15th) so the flight out is possibly higher than normal too as it's in the buffer period before the holidays startI think we may have missed the boat as our dates are 10th -26th July so cross with school holidays! x
Im hoping for around 10th Jul to the 26th Jul so the flight home is in the school holidays! I can't really be flexible as i'd have to arrange cover for the shop and my partner will need to book time off work.
Your fights are a bargain!!
