Q I want to fly to Sydney in January or February. When is the optimal time to book to get the best price?

A If all you really want is a return ticket from the UK to Sydney, then my answer is: at least a few hours before the flight, to allow you time to get to the airport. If you like a bit more certainty, then perhaps a few days ahead. Or maybe even weeks. But certainly not many months.
