Interesting.........I tend to book my international travel 3-6 months out, and haven't found a huge difference, until you get within 30 days of your intended departure. Then it can get pricier.

Domestic travel is so competitive (and cheap) that the company I work for just books it randomly when they need to send people......and we probably buy 150 tickets a month.

Another journalistic gem from CNBC. I notice they don't include any numbers to back up their claims, and while I don't doubt the conclusion, I would bet a valuable body part the savings are negligible.

I have a cheap friend who is always on those cheap airfare sites. It's taken a long time to convince him that being sent the wrong way around the world with two 10 hour layovers isn't worth the $20 you save.

Prices increase nearer to departure, but only by a noticeable amount in the last week (or two, depending on the airline).
