Default Booking a flight

I need to book a flight for mid july. Would it be wise to do it now or wait a month or so?

I'd also clear your cookies before returning to some sites. They tend to up the price at times when you go back.

Well here I can get South Bend, In to Baltimore, MD for $170 per person round trip on delta. I don't think it'll get any cheaper.
