Vidic would my assumption be right that the €600 price is more likely for the rest of the year? 

You should check with tour operator thaibumboys/girlstours.ie

€600 return to Thailand seems very reasonable to me. If it were me, id be booking at that price

Hard to know, but it'd be a pretty competitive route so be confident enough of it. They usually do charge more if booking just as flights are released as they know people booking then will book nó matter what, not going to be booking on a whim.

Just looked at it, it's an American Airlines flight, that you can book with Aer Lingus. But same flights on same dates are over €100 more with Aer Lingus than with American, so make sure book with American!

They don't! They might let you book an American Airlines flight with them but they don't fly the route, those fares are likely won't be included in any AL sale.

Aer Lingus don't have a direct flight to Charlotte? American is your only option. I don't buy the sale thing at all, it's often cheaper the week or two beforehand, they just make up the 'discounted' price. 

Was more making two bookings I was on about, into one of the main hubs, spend a night in NY or Boston and see the city, get a cheap flight down, same on way back.

The 2023 flights are up and are just under 900e - but I will be buying for 4.

There's no hard and fast rule, I'd just take a price you're happy with, could be 11 months out, could be four.

Might be cheaper to fly to a Boston or NY and take a night there and then take a domestic flight down. 

Looking to go AL because of the direct flight, This year we got a connecting flight over and back via JFK but coming back we had 90 mins and didn't make it. We had issues getting our outbound flight, basically AL should not have sold us the outbound flight.

There have always been issue with AL and AA with the connecting flights - so want to avoid this.

I find lovehilidays.ie are good for packages. Got something for new york this year that when pricing myself individually was coming in about 1000 euro dearer.
