If they were to drop, I usually look for sales to pop up sometime in the season ahead. So for winter, in the fall. A pair of British economists claims their research shows the best time is 8 weeks ahead. The truth is there's no hard or fast rules, just generalities.

Air Canada has a flight to Tokyo for around $1370 roundtrip after tax, Dec 27 to Jan 10. Dec 26-Jan 9 looks to be $1520ish (unless you take the much longer flights).

Thanks!
