I'm looking to book flights to Kuala Lumpar from London for mid September. Flights have gone up a bit and I'm not sure If I should book now before they go up even more or wait until the school holidays are over and see if they go down. Can anyone advise?

Hi,

We booked ours for 23rd Sept for £279 for 2 of us one way. We did book about 8 weeks ago though. Are you fixed on a date? Have a play with them to find the best fare. Most schools will be back by the 7th Sept.

They're just like any other airline in that department - i.e. they bump up their fares for peak periods.

But they also tend to increase their fares generally the nearer you get to the date of departure. They do that for a couple of reasons, one being an automatic process that incrementally increases the fares as the seats on a particular flight fill up.

It's not uncommon to get wildly different fares (within a defined range in each class of cabin) from one day to the next, simply because one flight has more seats available than another.
