book flights now or wait for Black Friday sale?

I need flights to Orlando from Dublin for next June. been watching and watching the prices and since the border had reopened the prices has gone up a little.. today I found a reasonably ok price and thinking should I book.. but next Friday is Black Friday. I will hate myself if I book now and Black Friday sale brings the prices down. or worst.. if I don't book now and prices keep going up.. omg I don't know what to do!

Personally I would book now, from my experience (and this is for whenI travel in July or August) October has been the cheapest to book. Black Friday sales for flights tend to be non-school holiday dates.

Travel Companies tend to avoid reducing seats on flights that are selling well, they only reduce what does not sell.

That’s a very good point. Thanks.

Having the same debate with myself today for July.

One option is to add a one night hotel making it a package and you can secure for £150 or so. If you need to rebook due to a price drop you can eVoucher the original and rebook again.

This is my thinking but thoughts welcome on the validity of such an approach.

Wait until after Xmas? We are already seeing Aer Lingus slash prices for early next year with some of the cheapest deals for many years. School holidays will be expensive but I feel there will be deals for June

I got some good advice once. If the flights are at the price you want to pay, book them, and don't go looking at the prices again...
