How early should I buy plane tickets for a trip to Europe in late September?

I'd like to go to Croatia in late September. I'll be flying from the US. Should I book flights now (April) or wait for prices to drop?
Tip for best answer: M$1.00

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

"Buy about six to eight weeks out from your travel date. That's when airfare consolidators lock in their fares, and most airlines will already be running sales by then if they plan to. As a general rule, the cheapest tickets will sell out more quickly during peak travel season (summer, Christmas), and fire-sale fares will pop up closer to travel dates in low season (winter). In other words, wait a bit longer in winter than in summer."

Book now, but use site like Travelocity that gives a low price guarantee!

I can tell you from experience of working in the airline industry for 10 years that start looking now for the best prices. I would recommend a site called Skyscanner. The reason is they can scan from any airport to any airport show you best prices on different days etc etc.

I would buy as soon as possible if I had the trip sure.

Try different options and take note of the prices during a couple of weeks, after buy the ticket.
