Not exactly - you could book the flight now and you would not get the best
rate available prior to next July. At some point there will be a "sale" for
fares next summer and that is when you must jump in or you will lose. Fares
will only increase as the season approaches and barring some miscalculation
in travel demand there will be no more reductions.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->
