Last month I booked online for some airline tickets and got a quote of $1300 round trip from NRT to SFO. Just this week I was quoted $947 O_x

What I'm curious towards is the perfect time cushion for ordering tickets. From what I can see, if you order 4 months prior to your departure they're quite more expensive, over 3 months prior. But what about booking the tickets closer to the departure? Is it booking the airline tickets within the same month as departure they raise the fees considerably or something?

I've been on atleast a dozen flights, but usually I book my seats 6 or so months in advance. This time I decided to wait a little while longer, and to my surprise I could have saved thousands if this is the case.

Seems like a money gamble and/or hoax to me
