When is the best time to purchase an airline ticket for December? Now, or maybe next month

When is the best time to purchase an airline ticket for December? Now, or maybe next month?
I'm looking for a flight from Columbus to Las Vegas for the week around Christmas. Should I buy now? Or, should I try to wait on a seat sale from Southwest?

Christmas is a busy time for airlines, the sooner you book the cheaper it should be.

Go to farecast.com, it will predict when it's best to purchase tickets. My friends and I use this all the time and it always works for us. It will also compare prices from priceline,expedia, etc.

Easy question to answer... despite being the capitol of Ohio, Columbus is not a high volume travel city for business O&D (origin/destination travel); nor is it the hub for any airline ort ideally located to become one. RJ
2 :
No airline has a hub there and airlines do not see a lot of demand from the people living there so that is why there are not as many direct flights.
3 :
Actually, Columbus has a fairly good set of nonstop destinations. You can fly to every major hub in the U.S. -- JFK, LGA, EWR, LAX, Chicago O'Hare and Midway, Atlanta, DFW, and dozens of others. While there are no international destinations other than Toronto and Cancun, you have to realize that Columbus is not NYC -- we aren't going to get extensive international flights any time soon. The only cities in the U.S. that we are really lacking are Salt Lake City (which we lost a few years ago), the San Francisco bay area, and Seattle. I think those flights will come in the next five to ten years or so. Honestly though, it could be much worse. Ask Toledo.

If your flight is on a weekday not a holiday it will be cheaper. Off hours, as in before 6 am and after 8pm, will be cheaper too.
2 :
The most expensive days for flight departures are typically Friday and Sunday. When you are looking for airfare, airlines tend to offer additional sales if you book on a Tuesday - Thursday. (This is referring to the day of the week you purchase the flight, not the day you are flying.)
