This is an extremely common question on this website. The truth is that there is no simple rule. Airlines adjust fares based on supply and demand. If a flight is filling up, the airline may increase fares or reduce the number of discount seats. If there are too many seats left, they may reduce fares or increase the number of discount seats to stimulate demand. Therefore, some flights will get more expensive over time. Some will get cheaper. Some will stay the same. No one can predict this for an individual flight or destination. I always suggest buying as soon as practical. The number of discount seats on each flight is limited. Once they are gone, the price can go up dramatically.
