Book flight to San Fran now or in December?..(details)?

Question

Should I book a flight from Los Angeles to San Francisco for late December now or wait until December to book. Will it be less expensive to book now or in December?

Answer 1

Do it now.  There is heavy demand for flights during the holidays, and they don't drop their prices.  

Answer 2

I am a travel agent in the UK.

This is a no-brainer!  You should not book it now, you should book it yesterday!   Generally, scheduled airlines ration how many seats they sell in each price baracket - the fuller the plane, the more you will pay.

Answer 3

Wait, the dates to watch are 50 and day 21st before departure.

Also set-up some "fare-alerts" at the following sites:

Answer 4

Definitely now.  Airlines are cutting capacity so there are fewer flights.  If you do not book now, you may not be able to fly come late December.
