www.ba.com

Far too early to book IMHO.
I book three-six weeks in advance for 99% of all my flights.

try www.cooptravelcare.co.uk if you are looking for real economy..... they are charter flights (airtours, cosmos, that sort of level) so the prices generally come down the nearer to the date.

With schedule flights like BA and www.continental.com I always book as far in advance as possible, often six months plus.

well....so far this year, US and back 9 times, various US internal flights, and several to europe.
Not quite a hundred, but a lot more than your average joe. BA silver card holder, as i fly on them+partners the majority of the time.

Any saving by booking stupidly far in advance- especially on the cheapy economy seats- is generally cancelled out by the fact that the really cheap fares are non-flexible/changeable/refundable, so if you need to change things you are totally stuffed.

Prices on BA rocket upwards exactly 3 weeks before departure, before that point in my experience they will not deviate any vast amount. They can also drop right before departure sometimes, although that depends on loads.

Youve just missed the BA sale by the way. They usually have another one later in the year
