Tough one! I always make my reservations at least 10 to 12 months in advance (Air and resort). My travel agent use to handle everything and she would watch the flights for me and call once in awhile with prices and I would decide what and when to purchase. She would usually nudge me saying that in her opinon they probably wouldn't get lower or she would say "Wait a few more weeks they may go down" and it usually worked out. One time we were going to Arizona (From NY) and the flights were like 350.00 per person RT. She kept checking the web sites and came up with a Delta fare of 195.00 per person RT naturally we jumped on it. Now she just books my resorts and I book the flights on line because her agency now chargges like 30.00 a ticket to book flights! with my family that's an extra 120.00!
