Sydney to Tokyo, booking timing for airfare prices

[Sallyandtex]

Hi,

Those from Syd Australia,  approx how many months is a good time to book airfares on a direct route to Haneda?.

We are a little over 12 months to sail, and info on web suggests don't book flights until around 6 months prior for best price.

Looking at ANA so we have daytime flights,  very expensive so far.

Thanks!

Yes we are flying in late August. Very pricey especially if you want to fly direct. We are booking in January, sometime Boxing Day deals with Qantas.
