This depends on the destination you are flying to and from, but generally you can get a good deal three to six months prior to the trip.
If you are travelling to Bali from Sydney, you'll score the biggest savings (up to 6%) when you book a Christmas flight in June.
If you fly from Melbourne, discounts are as high as 8%.
For a flight to Singapore, reservations in June and July get you up to 10% discounts from both Sydney and Melbourne.
According to Skyscanner the situation is more complicated with Christmas flights to Seoul, South Korea. If you book your flight from Sydney in September, you save up to 12%. If you book too early, you might miss out on savings with flights purchased in July only saving you up to 6%.
There is a steep increase in prices in the third and fourth weeks of December. If you are on a long trip and have the flexibility, try booking flights to Asia on or before the second week of December and return on or after New Year's Day.
